That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
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.
Totally agree.I've never really noticed any difference.
However, in my experience the absence of a father has a significantly detrimental impact on boys raised by women only. They are the most fvcked up IMO, they have a god awful time dating, and/or find themselves in trouble more often. YOu want to see how the absence of men impacts a community...All you have to do is look at American inner cities and see what percentage of men in prison were raised by single moms.
Women raised without a father isn't that much of a factor in and of itself. However, how the MOTHER behaves in the absence of a father DOES impact chicks. If her mom is a cvm burping hoe with a string of dudes... the chick raised like this will have a VERY hard time with trust and binding with a particular man.
I agree it can build character and resilience.I was raised by a single mother who passed away 2 years ago, I thrive in dating, business, social settings, the lot.
I believe any arrangement growing up where you do not have 2 loving parents is going to be detrimental to a child's growth, regardless of male or female or who is missing out of mum or dad. It's a human nature and nurture situation rather than a gender one. But that's never to say someone can't achieve and be successful regardless of upbringing. A hard life can and does build character, it makes you fearless and driven, fvck you both.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
A baby boy ONLY inherits the physical acpects of his father, good chance to have his voice, face or body type and maybe some sort of predisposed medical conditions. That's where it stops.As far as men going to jail, if an alpha father pumps n dumps a woman and leaves behind a kid, there’s a good chance that kid ain’t gonna be a pansy and will often find himself in trouble
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.
I saved this as a bookmark when you first posted it and I read it every once in a while. Best Thread on Sosuave IMO! Should be made a Sticky.
At 46, you have to be able to make your own decisions and have strong enough principles to guide you by then. You shouldn’t seek reaffirmations from others because you should already be sure of yourself enough to know that you’re following the right path. You’re at least 20 years behind on that.Even at this age which I am 46, I still go back to my elders to reaffirm my set of principles when I am conflicted or hit a stumbling block.
This was me and still is my brother. I never really unpacked why but I was pretty messed up until mid twenties until I really started to work on myself properly. I imagine boys with weak fathers have the same impact, I don't think they'd need to be absent. Not to mention the fact masculinity is so under attack in modern society that it's just going to be worse for boys in general. We all have to play a part in fixing that **** where we can. I take a lot of young men "under my wing" when I can. Just giving them some basic advice and telling them it's okay to be a man is new to them. Sad state of affairs out there at the moment.I've never really noticed any difference.

You mean principles that stays the same like in a time capsule? How does that serve me or even anyone?At 46, you have to be able to make your own decisions and have strong enough principles to guide you by then. You shouldn’t seek reaffirmations from others because you should already be sure of yourself enough to know that you’re following the right path. You’re at least 20 years behind on that.
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.
