"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

LOL!

I know there have been some heated debates in the past on here about HB ratings.

I saw this website and thought I would share. https://howhot.io

I've been having fun putting different pics in and seeing what is what and how different my opinion can be sometimes.

Something I've noticed is that eye shape really affects the rating. Pointed or squinty eyes seem to be more attractive for some reason. (ie. Mila Kunis = Godlike)

Anyhow, how is this for a HB scale?

HB10 = Godlike
HB9 = Stunning
HB8 = Hot
HB7 = Nice
HB6 = OK
HB5 = Umm..
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

For me a LOT of those girls look hot in pics. But then if I see them talking in a video. Or even trying to "look hot" while moving, they start to look retarded and lose their appeal.

It's all about how high the pedestal is.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a rating scale. Some women are clearly better looking than others, I don't see any reason to deny that is true. That's all a rating scale measures.

On the other hand, I don't believe in 10s, because NO ONE is perfect. So I could see where it might be pedestalizing to call a girl a 10. And I certainly don't believe in calling a girl "Godlike". She still sh!ts and p!sses and her looks are going to fade as she gets older.
 

"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.

The whole HB rating thing is very lame IMO.... how attractive a woman is is a totally subjective matter (eye of the beholder). As long as she's attractive to YOU, what else ****ing matters?

Whatever man. It's just for fun. I don't think anybody takes the HB scale too seriously.

I just find it interesting to see what is considered attractive. For example this chick

She gets a "Stunning" rating for this photo. I certainly don't think she is ugly but I really don't find her attractive at all. In fact she's kind of scary looking to me.

In regards to "I don't like to call a girl Godlike". C'mon man it's just a term of reference. I don't think anyone is perfect either but they can be perfect-like.

Are we supposed to fawn and bend more to them, because they have presented themselves better to us?

See, just because you stick a ratings number on a girl, or just because you say that chick A is more attractive to you than chick B, who says you are supposed to fawn and bend to them? In fact, if you learn anything on this forum at all, you should know you are NOT supposed to do that.

I don't rate girls by numbers, I just associate them with words like cute, sexy, fine, beautiful, etc.

But if I had to make a scale for me it's like this:

HB1 - Unbearably hideous
HB2 - Very, very hideous
HB3 - Ugly
HB4 - Below Average (D)
HB4.5 - Below Average (D+)
HB5 - Completely Average. Not that attractive, but not ugly.
HB6 - Slightly Above Average. Leans towards "cute".
HB7 - Above Average. Leaning towards "pretty".
HB8 - Very pretty.
HB9 - Beautiful

...and last but not least

HB10 - Impossible.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
