"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
For those of you still worried about age

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.

Thats just wonderful. Just like Big George said "Over 40 aint over"....you can do it all, just need to hit the gym, and be prepared for anything.
A few years ago my dad told me the same thing. He said your 30's is the best time of your life. He didn't elaborate, but now that I am in my mid 30's I can say he was right on target.Originally posted by BGMan
One good thing about being a man is that we stay attractive longer. My old man (who married at 38) told me a couple of years ago, "Things will only get better."

Why do you think women are so quick to try to handcuff you? Because their value in the mating game has a limited shelf life. If you are a guy you can be pimpin' well into old age if that's what you want to do. Look at Hugh....
Why would I care if I am getting older? I have a decent net worth, I basically don't have to work anymore, nice car, new townhouse a few blocks from the downtown nightlife, younger women saying I still look good, I know MY stock isn't going down anytime soon! It's GREAT to be a MATURE man.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm 25, and I got no beef with older guys hitting on younger girls. Just don't be the "i'm obvious trying to be hip, young and single" type. The middle aged recently divorced (usually AFC because their marriage didn't work) guys are the worst, it's like they religiously use every tip there is in Men's Health and Maxim. Don't do this...
Speedo I do agree there are some guys that do that, but I'm sure the bigger problem is their incongruency. They have no game so try to make it up by looking younger.
I'm 32 now, but when I was 25 like you, an older guy at work was already convincing me I was too old for college girls. Bad advice is abound.

An older guy has alot to offer, but the key often is how good they look at whatever their age is. Compare a guy age 40 that spent his younger years on the beach, drinking, etc. who now has leather skin and a gut and probably medical issues too with one who didn't do that and kept in shape. Those are the guys that the 20 somethings are most interested in.
