"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.

I'd like to let this out of my system:

Why can't things be normal? Why must we play games in order to get what we want?

I just want for once, a normal relationship - drama free, stress free...smoothness. No lies, no betrayal, no messiness. People are ALWAYS worrying about STUPID power.

It seems impossible. For every game that is played, I must waste energy and worry "if I behave normally, will they win the game? "

I'm tired of everything. I have enough in my life and this just adds to it.

Every time I need my special person, they are not there. Instead they are playing a filthy game. If I voice my concern, they get offended and tell me I'm being weird. Then it feels like I can't speak my mind. :mad:


I vowed that I will BREAK these games in two and NOTHING will stop me.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Are you KIDDING? For anyone who wants what they can't have, they must have some serious issue - mostly self-esteem issue too.

I think it's more the person and what would better suit them, someone who also enjoys games.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Heh... Beyond the usual attraction- and game-related stuff... most people simply suck. Doesn't matter if you befriend or date them, or even become acquaintances, or walk by them. Most are competitive, fake, selfish, controlling, two-faced, and want the power; to be top dog, in control, and "better" than everyone else. Of course, it's the realities of society that causes this. People get screwed over, find out what works, and go with it... lest they get screwed over again and again. It's too harsh and fake out there to be "nice" and real.

Also, most people who act this way fit a certain mold - which, ironically enough, is found most attractive and sought after. People don't seek after (and certainly don't respect) the average, plain, nice, boring folk. Instead, they CHOOSE to get caught up in the games, drama, status, and competition of the fake, assertive types.

Of course, everyone would LIKE things to be normal, easy, mutual, respectful, and stress-free, but that's not reality. But it can be - if that's what you associate with.

interesting to see that 99% of game-hating threads' authors are girls.

People don't want their freedom threatened or their lives significantly changed even if they are attracted to someone.

I think both men and women know deep down relationships are a big life change and a lot of work. We are reluctant to get into one unless the person is really worth it.

Games help cover up the uncomfortable "Should I or shouldn't I?" feelings you get when you meet someone.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.
