You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Agreed. I'm 5'11" and I've come to love that same exact height bracket. Plus, curvy petit women tend to be ridiculously fun in bed.GS750 said:I'm 6'0". I like them around 5'-5'4". I am not into tall women at all...not sure why.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I'm 5'7. My most recent ex was in the 5'8 - 5'9 range and loved wearing heels. The height difference isn't noticeable to other people if you carry yourself confidently. The biggest issue with height differences is generally the dude involved. If he feels insecure about it, it's gonna show. I tend to like shorter chicks because of my height, but I do have a thing for long legs... so I don't rule-out tall drinks o' water.drummerdude27 said:Anyone ever date a girl slightly taller than them? Just curious. I am 5'7 and this girl I am kinda seeing is 5'8. Different than all the girls ive ever dated but shes a pretty gal.
The girl in the picture is not curvy she is a bit anorexic in my perceptionI like em tiny. Im 5'8-5"9 and I like 5'4 or less. Small petite thin. I dont really like curves. I like em built for speed and stealth. Even chicks under 5 feet turn me on. My Monday night bartender that I have been working on is barley 5 feet tall and she is soooo hot.

Ok curves are cool sometimes.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
What do you think? just curiousAtom Smasher said:I generally prefer 5'6 and under, in keeping with my love of the contrast of femininity. I'm a little over 5'11.5" myself.
Interestingly, I've always noticed that women who are taller than me seem to find me attractive. I've had a couple of short flings with girls who were actually a good 2 inches taller than me. I haven't figured out why tall women seem to smile at me in an inviting way. And it may not be a good reason... I just have no idea but the tendency is certainly there.
Oh, and by the way, OP, you're banned.
lol... correctLast of the Alphas said:You would never pull out of that girl, and you know it.
She's pretty hot.. Maybe I like petite women but... She looks great.PeasantPlayer said:The girl in the picture is not curvy she is a bit anorexic in my perception
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
