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.
Translation - she wants *us* to be loyal, because being ENM she doesn't need d1ck. She's already getting her fill and letting you know about it.
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.
The Bay Area is home to a lot of bullshiit from women, especially polyamory and ethically non-monogamous.
Yep. It's changed so much. Things are changing. It's turning into a anything goes jungle out there.
I don't get how a guy could put up with that crap.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
She's got the classic thousand c0ck stare. Is her husband and kids gonna watch when Mommy brings Chad home to have a f*ck session?
Any self-respecting man would never tolerate such a thing. If I were ever in a situation where I was dating a girl and she asked about making it an open relationship I would break up with her at once
I hope someone sees that wh0re's profile and lets the husband know what his "wife" is up to. He deserves to know so that he can leave her and move on. Many women these days truly have no shame
And it's all a psyop
Actually ENM, means she is doing it withher husband’s approval.
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.
Damn didn't notice that bit, that's even worse. Point still stands, no self-respecting man would ever tolerate that
Have you see a lot of Bay Area men? They are dweebish, outnumber women drastically, and are thirsty for any sort of vagina.
Supposedly she is in a "non-monogaous relationship". Perhaps her husband is one of those guys that enjoy seeing his wife getting f**ked by another guy(s). This wouldn't have happened on a widespread scale 10 or 20 years ago. Indeed, the Western World is getting more and more degenerate and men more and more cucked. These two factors go hand in hand.
another one with the thousand c0ck stare..no wonder..another open marriage/open relationship wh0re.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
How did we get to the point now where so many profiles have "non-monogamous relationships"?
No way she's 46. That pic is 20 years old
"married and ethically non monogamous" are orthogonal states. Being "loyal" and "ethically non monogamous" are also orthogonal states.
You've simply got to be ruthless in the early interaction stages with OLD.
This is everywhere, not just in the Bay Area.
