Master Don Juan
you can make all the plans you want,life will fock them up for you. Having GOALS is good,but expect the unexpected. The poster is right-as far as the "Rules", rules are made to be broken-if not by you, by life.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Exactly what I'd like to hear Miss Teen USA say if asked by Perez Hilton.It is funny that in our society today, even the weirdest of sexual couples are celebrated, while a relationship between a man and a woman can be considered "odd" because of a preconceived notion about age differences.
You can do whatever you wish to do. Like I said I am not in my 40's or 50's yet and maybe my opinion will change then. But my dad is 62 and if he dated a 21 year old I would think that is odd. I would pat him on the back congratulate him but I would probably think to myself this has to be a very strange girl to be taking it up the ass from my dad every night.MrLuvr said:So are we supposed to make our dating choices now based on whether or not it "looks odd" to other people? I think a fat guy with a skinny chick looks odd, a tall girl with a short guy looks odd, and to be even more controversial, many people think a white guy with a black girl looks odd. Then there is the ultimate in "oddness", two guys dating each other. So, what should all these couples do? Stop dating because other people think it looks "weird".

OH, we do indeed plan ahead. IF we did not, we would not have survived and prospered. I would applaud you for planning your career path, your wealth creation and even your way home tonight BUT you cannot plan much of your romantic life and neither should you.seth03 said:I don't understand how you guys that are far older than me still don't understand the importance of thinking far ahead in life.
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.
Ummm.. a ho that doesn't see any other Johns when you are in town isn't exactly what I would call a "girlfriend".Andy_Dufresne said:Hey...I almost forgot.....
I have a friend of a good friend who is 68, he kicked a$$ in the real estate business. He has two girfriends, one who is 25 in Vietnam, another who is 30 in Malaysia. Of course, by the time you're 50 these countries will own the US but for guys like me the door is still open.![]()
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Well, at 33, you are going to be in trouble if you get serious with someone 20 years younger.lookyoung said:That being said do what you want to do. I don't think I would get serious with a girl 20 years younger than me. I don't want to be older than there dads. 7-15 years younger is the sweet spot in my opinion.
No kidding. lol Are you be serious or a smart A$$. If your being serious than you are talking to the wrong guy. I wouldn't fuk a girl that was under 18 Which is legal consent were I live. If your being a smart ass than your talking to the wrong guy. I have fuked more girls than 99.8% of the guys on this website. I am not one of these SS KBJ's ok buddy. I know the game inside out so talk to me with some respect and not like a typical nerd. I don't mean to be an ******* but I am just being honest here.MrLuvr said:Well, at 33, you are going to be in trouble if you get serious with someone 20 years younger.
But, more to the point, I have dated a 20 year old and also a 30 year old that were at the same level of maturity. In fact, I would say the 20 year old had more going on for her. The 30 year old still wanted to party every weekend, date multiple guys etc.. etc.. So, you really can't judge someone's behaviour and compatiblity solely by age. If I am going to have to deal with the same kind of behaviour with a 30 year old as I would a 20 year old, I would rather go with the 20 year old.
Respect is earned, not demanded. You seem to be taking all this a little too personally. If you get this upset every time someone disagrees with you, you have anger management issues. If you have game, good for you. So? What do you want me to do about it? Get over yourself, and learn to relax.lookyoung said:No kidding. lol Are you be serious or a smart A$$.

What I meant was when I am 41 like yourself I probably would not date a girl that is 21. When I am 41 I would look to date girls in the 26-34 age range. At 33 I look to date girls that are 20-26. If I was 41 I would fuk a 21 year old however I am sure.
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.
OK, but what is the bottom line? What age women are you dating then, if at all? On the one hand you say that the younger ones blow you off when they find out your real age, and then on the other you say that there aren't any attractive 30+ women around, so you have to go after the young ones. So, where does that leave you?aarfaarfgotcha said:Hey Seth03,
Good question! I'm 49 and back into things after a divorce (ugh) so I actually have first hand experience with this.
I am ripped (MMA) plenty of cash but 5'7" which is a pretty big negative when you add it to the age thing. Most chicks guess my age is 35, I have had more than one become really interested but only to blow me off when I told them my real age. Good riddance. Here are some notes:
!
You should look for three things in a dramatically younger woman: 1) asian; 2) asian; 3) asian.MrLuvr said:Ummm.. a ho that doesn't see any other Johns when you are in town isn't exactly what I would call a "girlfriend".
100% subconscious conditioning of your mind, as a result of social pressure, to believe that you should be dating women closer to your age. That, or you are scared of being rejected by younger women so you prefer to play in your comfort zone.Ballie said:Well, let me tell my experiences after my divorce with younger women in their twenties. I do find them attractive - but since I have kids that age I am not interested in dating them. Its called a generation gap for a reason!
I look very good for my age and its been a bit of a mind fvck that they find me sexually attractive. I think women go for a good bod just like we do. Plus the fact that I dress well - have bucks. Maybe could have a young GF, but do I want to?
No, once you have got over the fact that there is more to a women than mere s*x after having more than your fair share of them. Then you will settle down in having one quality woman (a couple of years younger) who can relate with you and you can have fun with.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
