You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Some of em do the daily thing because you were always a "temp"I agree. Pretending is hard to pull of seamlessly. But sh*t testing unfortunately never stops. If you're with the "right" woman and everything is on the perfect wave length, she'll still sh*t test you every now and then - literally until the end of your relationship. But I'd rather prefer sporadic sh*t testing over daily newsletter typa, passive aggressive bullsh*t.
Then its time to let her know, she is not even a temp anymore.Some of em do the daily thing because you were always a "temp"
Yes there are those typa "relationships". If you ask me, you always have to go about your day with that little black flame in your soul that stimulates your anger, just enough for you to never forget who you are and what women (and also other people) are capable of. This way you'll never forget that multi-billion year old duel between the two genders.Some of em do the daily thing because you were always a "temp"
Self respect. Respecting your time. Energy. Value. Yep.Then its time to let her know, she is not even a temp anymore.
Dont tolerate the dead weight.
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.
All girls **** test, they want strong mwn that can withstand these testsAll that pretending has a cost. Perhaps at a certain level they won't be doing some of their bullshyt tests in the first place. Or maybe they are of the appropriate personality, maturity or trust level that they won't do that.
Agree with this. I met a woman who was clearly considering branch swinging over to me. She and her BF were reaching the tail end of their relationship and I was the new guy in the social circle. She started off very flirtatious and wanted to hang frequently. Then the **** tests came. She started making comments about how I need to work on my trap muscles because she finds big traps hot. Then made a comment about liking big trucks and mine at the time was a Honda Ridgeline. And the most obvious one when she said she likes a gentleman who will open car doors for her. These were all **** tests that I sniffed out right from the gate. I personally don't care for **** tests as I know my worth so I told her maybe I'm just not good enough for her and dropped her. Afterwards she would blow my phone up and admitted to just "joking" about all those things. In the end she wasn't worth the headache, since the BF was still around.First of all there has to be a certain level of attraction on her part. Otherwise she has no business sh*t testing you. Once you know she finds you attractive you look out for behavior that low-key grinds your gears. Stuff that you would never expect from a man. She'll try to question your masulinity or confidence; "You're smaller than I had expected", "That's a weird shirt", "I think you'd look better without a beard", "Have you ever thought about going bald?". That kinda sh*t.
Mind you, she'll only address these points if the characteristic at hand is rather ambiguous. If you are literally a midget, she probably won't talk about it. If you're about average height, she'll sniff out a possible hole in your confidence and test you there. Show her no holes, and you're good to go.
