She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
I do have a lot of friends that I hang out with, and 5 or 6 that are my "best friends" but only one of them is really a good true friend.trv26 said:I know what you mean. I have a very small group of people i tend to hand out with. And even with these, I often don't know how trustworthy they are. Or perhaps its just me that finds it hard to trust people.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Yeah, me too and I want a tight crew. My "boys" ditched me tonight.. Which actually doesn't happen often it all but it kind of proves my point that were really not that close at allFive To One said:Yeah i know what you mean. I could skip town and never see my friends again and it wouldnt be the worse thing in the world for me or them.
I just have trouble creating deep bonds with guys.
Anyone know why this may be?
steve_erkle said:now this isn't about girls but stick with me. After watching the show entourage and seeing the bond/ friendship that these guys have I started getting jealous because although I have a lot of friends I don't have a really tight brotherly friendship like I used to have and like the entourage guys have. I feel like I'm missing out . Anyone else feel like this?
Holy ****, man.. Now that I think of it I used to have a really close bond with this dude, who still is my best friend. we were like brothers, and people in school would joke and say we were homos together (elementary school).I didn't want that reputation and the friendship suddenly wasn't so tight becauss i didnt want people to think we were gay. This is probably what is holding me back from opening up.Voice said:Yea I'm feelin you on this one. I got a bunch of different friends, but I'm not real close with any of them. I think maybe its me having a problem getting close to people in general, not just guys or girls.
Look back at your life and try to see what will make you not trust people. I know a part of my life where I was real close to a group of friends, we did everything together. One day they just changed and started doin drugs and sht and totally ditched me, talked behind my back because I wouldn't do the sht they were doing. I made the right decision, but ever since then, I had a hard time making close friends.
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.
Awesome man, you really helped me out a lot. I don't think I'll see a therapist, at least not yet , but you're right about me being insecure about that- I do need to get more chicks. Anyway, thanks bro. And thanks to everyone else who replied too.Voice said:Well first of all, if your insecure about people thinking you're gay, there's only one way to stop this. Get some chicks!
Other than that, I really don't know. Opening up to people requires a lot of trust. If you join a club or class or something similar, you'll find other people more like you. They don't have to be the coolest people in the world, as long as you share interests and ideas, friendships can form. The most loyal friends I ever had were those who didn't care so much about being cool.
Another thing you could consider is therapy. I had to go to therapy when my grandma died when I was younger and it took some time to open up to the therapist. However, once I did I started to feel a certain trust for my therapist I never had before with anyone else. Eventually this trust moved on to other people. Who knows maybe I may consider going back to therapy for this problem itself.
