You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Yeah, case in point was that video linked above where he just eye-contacted that girl and asked her a question about what music she liked when she was 12. His point was actually dumb, but you can tell his "no hesitation" with women is status quo.STR8UP said:And for what it's worth, I was in an elevator at a hotel on my 21st birthday with him, so I was standing three feet away from him, and let me just say he OOZES confidence. Definitely has what it takes to pick up women. And being one of the best known rock stars of all time helps a little too, I'm sure.
Never been a fan, but I saw them in concert a few years back and my fukking ears were ringing for DAYS...I kid you not.Stormbringer said:As a huge KISS fan for 30 years, I'm freakin' envying you right now...LOL Sharing an elevator with Gene on my 21st birthday would've truly made it even more memorable.
That show was the ultimate contrast between a guy who can have pretty much any woman he wants, and a guy who couldn't get laid to save his life, EVEN IF A ROCK STAR IS SENDING CHICKS TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM!Anyway, I saw the episode you're referring to (I love his show!), and that guy Gene was with was such an incredibly textbook example of AFC, I really wondered if that guy was just playing such a part for the show.
Gene is a mega DJ of the highest order.
