"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.

Ok, I have been trying to talk some sense into my buddy.

He has been going out with this girl for probably 3 weeks or so...he is getting laid by her but already he is giving her things. For instance, he gave her an extra Xbox he had and a pretty nice used t.v. set. He told me hey i dont use them, why not?

Am I wrong or is this going to look rather pathetic to the girl? What u guys think?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Well, you said she's sleeping with him, so he's not being a total tool and doing her unrequitted favors. Those are some pretty expensive gifts though, and I do doubt that she earned them. It doesn't matter much though, because you can only go so far to convince someone else. Remember, DJ is your life philosophy, and AFC is his. Quoting the DJ bible to him is like quoting the Holy Bible to a Buddhist.

Someone on this board told me do not shower them with gifts. The reward for her love is your love. The reward for her passion is your passion.

Yup, its hard to talk sense into this guy. Anyways, yeah he is getting laid but still he is forming a bad habit. Also he tells me he wants a ltr with this girl, how do women interpret this behavior? Well they like him more or see him as a chump?

if she really really likes him, his behavior will be irrelevant for the time being. She is still very excited that she's with a new person. Give it a few months and see how it progresses. Then he might be in some trouble.
 

"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.

If he's already getting laid, why would he bother trying to win her over more? He's already getting his dinky stinky, don't give her gifts!

Besides, giving away an Xbox to a chick? WTF man?! Send ME the damn xbox!

Is it possible that maybe he is caring and was just fulifilling his charitable character and it just so happened his new girl was on the receiving end ?

I would guess that it looks rather pathetic and weak to the woman. I mean, not even a month and she is getting some expensive stuff, used or new...doesnt really matter.

You'e wasting your time - he'll have to learn much the same way many of us did.

Like someone said above, it's like your speaking a different language to them.
