"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.

Today I figured that the reason why a lot of us don't meet the women we'd like to is in large part because we don't have the social context to do it in. Yeah you can cold approach, but having women be warm to you and doing stuff you enjoy while interacting with women instead of just chasing them is a better use of your time in the long run imo.
 

"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.

Some people don't want a social circle and all the work that entails, they just want to get laid.

I've been working on building up my social circle for the past few months. Before I would only have like 3-4 close friends but now it has increased by 4-5 fold. I now have at least 4-5 different social circles for different purposes. I have my close friends who I have known since middle school, my undergrad friends who I don't really hang out with anymore, my grad school friends, my dance class friends, my pick up artist friends, and now I'm working on making new friends in my improv comedy class. In addition, I'm doing cold approaches during daygame and nightgame. I can't believe the amount of women I am now meeting. Before I had a huge scarcity and access to pretty girls but now there seems to be an abundance of pretty girls. The only thing left for me to do now is to learn game and seal the deal.

last year in math class, my social circle as it is now was formed. class ended at 9am and our next classes were 2+ hours(3 in the second semester) away at the earliest(at the latest, class ended at 9, and started again at 1:20), so we were all stuck hanging out together(some didn't want to go home, some couldn't) and formed one big group.

this year, we're mostly together in our morning classes, then we hang out until our afternoon classes splits us up, and then after school recombines us.

basically speaking, my group of friends is rather knowledgeable about girls and actively encourages me to seek out more and cold approach and such, so my game was helped tremendously.

my main social group at school are smokers. I smoke too. This is how we became friends. The group is quite large. But I'm only close with a few of them. Also the majority are male, so this doesn't help for that.

i went to a philosophy club meeting today. there are more women there, but they're not that appealing to me. there is a pretty one, but i don't like her voice.
 

"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.

I'm a good guy. I'm friendly and open about myself. I try not to make social mistakes and, when I do, I admit them and keep going.

My friends are in my local bar, local pool hall, and fire company.

My social circle consists of mostly guys from out of the state.

I've changed a lot of friends. My current social circle is built up through one old friend I kept contact with since childhood. Almost all my other current friends came through him. I lost most of my friends in the years I isolated myself playing video games. One day I just re-initiated contact with this one guy because he's awesome, started hanging out with him. A good choice because this guy knows A LOT of people, and he's a pro at making connections. From there I just met the friends he had made in the time we didn't have contact. Also they don't judge and if they do it's for my own good, they've got more experience (crash and burns) with women than me. They know how to sniff out a bad one, and they tell me if something is off. I could say they are naturals, but they've just fvcked up and learned. That's risk-free experience for me :D

If it wasn't for him I would've been fvcked today, because I was done with school by the time I got away from games.

Well, I just started to actually go back out and meet people after my divorce. I got rid of facebook and all social media and actually started going out to meet "real" people, not online ones. So far my social circle has grown exponentially.
