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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Why are you still having problems with this?de-pedestalize a chick? any scale, any type, I know no one is perfect, I don't see chicks as that, but it has been a struggle for me.
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.
Becuase before computers, geeks like you didn't sit all day playing warcraft or second life all day and watching porn to fulfill their horniness, they HAD to be social in order not to die from boredom.ItsOnNow said:Oh yes, insecurity is still a big problem for me. I am lacking some serious self confidence, that has been a big problem for me. I haven't even begun. I mean, the post on mall cold approaching, seeing myself do that seems tough. I mean, I need to learn how to do it without coming off as creepy, which is what I want to avoid. I basically cold approach people all day at my job, so you would think it would come natrually. I have been reading the materials on this site, and I seem to be lacking self confidence/esteem, charm, ****yness, I am not often a ****y person. One thing I have been asking is why do we even need this whole process? I mean, what happened in soceity to where we have this neg,tease,disqualify,ignore, etc? What ever happened to just dating and stuff? I really don't go out that often, and don't have much of a social life, which has been a problem as well.
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.
Chances of what? getting laid? lmao. you're kidding right?ItsOnNow said:Well, that's it, I keep reading all this, and haven't really absorbed it in. I am clueless to alot. This is what's killed me, not having learned it all as everyone else did. I mean, If I go solo, does that hurt my chances more?
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.
Everything with value in life is hard to get.ItsOnNow said:Inner game,disinterested,kino, all seems idk, hard. I mean, doesn't that only work if she already likes you, and you have to be a challenge and all that? As for "seeing myself as the prize", I am a rather modest person. Could that be affecting me? I don't have this strong sense of self worth and value as you say.
I want to read your FR. Do an approach. Make it happen. You got only 1 life to live. DONT WASTE IT.ItsOnNow said:Inner game,disinterested,kino, all seems idk, hard.

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.
