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.
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.
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.
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.
Pssst.... it's easy to find a torrent. I watched one or two episodes of this season, got hooked, but then decided to watch it from the beginning of season one. (I finished just last night.) It's better than watching it on DVR, because the commercials are edited out and it's HDTV (for someone like myself who doesn't have HDTV).Paper Man said:Yep. I just don't follow it because I never got to watch it from the start. One of this day I have to get all the seasons though, and watch it from the beggining. Even though random episodes are fun, it'd be better to follow it.
Hey genius, if nobody except you get to watch it, well then it doesn't stay on the air. GOOD JOBMichele said:this is the kind of show you don't talk about. you keep it on the down-low... so the normal people don't ruin this show.
and you don't talk about the actors real life or it totally ruins the show.
monaco is 100% correct. it used to be better... but it's still awesome. when something becomes too big... it goes downhill.
but i do have season 1-3 on dvd... they're awesome.
IF i was a mod, i would SO lock this.
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.
it's alright you're on your period.Desert Fox said:Hey genius, if nobody except you get to watch it, well then it doesn't stay on the air. GOOD JOB
Not uncommon for Brit actors to play Americans. Sometimes you can tell because the pronunciation is exagerrated (often based on the perception that all americans drawl). Hugh Laurie was famous before House. He was the hilarious goofy nice guy Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster, a total 180 degrees from Gregory House. You might see it sometimes rerun on Masterpiece Theater.HandyAndy said:I just noticed house has a british/english accent, I saw him on david letterman, hes not a real *******, he plays an american man, ive never heard his real voice though, pretty cool
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
