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.
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.
Do you work out? Look good in pictures? Have a funny/serious brief profile? What types of first messages are you sending?SamMalone said:Well I must be doing something wrong. None of these girls have messaged me back yet haha. Not even one.
A few dudes on here are using the erotic book title: 50 Shades of GreySecondHalf said:For a catch phrase or subject line ...
When I initially signed up to match.com spring 2010, my subject was...
"House broken alpha male seeks companion".
Within 24 hours I had received 200 emails and winks.
I admit my profile was smoking too (not brief btw, but funny for sure).
In the 3 months to come, my d1ck ended up looking like a piece of hamburger meat from abuse.
Use at your own discretion. It will catch the eyes (p.s. this subject line is copyrighted around Toronto Canada to moi!), so don't even think about it brad!
Really though, listen to Naughty, his humorous opinion is quite accurate!
These chicks are seminal toilets, nothing more!

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.
In my experience so far... much better. I want to stress the "so far" part though, because I just joined and haven't met up with anyone yet. But in the searches, the girls are much more attractive, seem much more educated, and at least seem to have more realistic expectations and intentions. I find it difficult to find anyone on POF that I would even consider meeting up with. OKCupid has been SLIGHTLY better. Match gives me cute girls all the time.SamMalone said:Are the pay sites like match.com any better?
I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I have talked to some friends of mine on Match. Two of the three I would say are much more attractive than the pics of the girl in that thread. They told me they get about 6-10 messages/day. The other is comparable to the girl from that thread, and she told me 4 or 5/day.Eternal_water said:If you are serious about online dating I think you would benefit from reading this thread and its comments.

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.
Actual girls. And like I said, two are a lot more attractive than the one from that thread.Eternal_water said:Really thats surprisingly low. Are they girls or guys doing the same experiment?
As a guy I can tell you the numbers I posted were genuine.
The vast majority of women on dating sites (80-90%) won't respond to you unless you're in the top 10% of good looking men. These women are all holding out for a Brad Pitt/McDreamy lookalike because they know they don't need online dating so they'll throw up a profile hoping to bag Brad Pitt while dating other guys offline.SamMalone said:I've gotten like one response so far? Prolly my messages suck or something. I also like how some of these girls with nothing going for them "reply selectively". Haha

Hell, even the 3's do that sh*t!!!bradd80 said:these days even the 6's and single moms act like they're the prize that needs to be worked for.. the fact that even these "undesirable" women get hit on a lot means just more woman insanity to go around for everybody![]()
