"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.

Man after having so many dates, so many relationships and so much irritation, what do you guys do to keep the hope up?

Honestly if it weren't for the physical rush of meeting and banging new girls, I'd probably just give up on going out with new chicks completely since they all end up disappointing me.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Get a life, man! lol
Man's purpose in life is to spread the seed, not get disappointed in girls.

Take it easy

Ricky,

What adler321 said. Get involved in other things so that you're not thinking about women so much.

Until you find the one (or ones) that are suitable for you, you'll necessarily have to go through many.

Think of it like this. Many tons of rock & dirt have to be dug up and sifted through before you find diamonds and gold. Keep digging and you'll find that gem of a girl (or girls) that are worthy of you.

Don't sweat it. Have fun.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Mav

Ricky, you are wound way too tight.

You are thinking way too hard about stuff that should be instinctive.

Take a deep breath and relax.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

You're acting way too melodramatic, man. You are a man, aren't you?

If your life is busy enough - women won't be on your mind so much. (ie. Polite way of saying get a life)

Actually my life is really busy and that is part of the problem. I seriously at this point have time to date only one or two times a week. That is why I hate it when it takes a few dates to find out a chick is a loser.

In a few months this will change since I'll only be working and I'll be done with grad school.

How else do you plan to find out about a chick other than spend a little time with her? Getting a job ain't gonna change that.

Ok well this time I got fooled by her after a few dates. I thought she was worthwile.

ON the other hand maybe it was just one bad date. Time will tell.

She sure as hell did piss me off though.
 

"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.
