Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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 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.
