If I do that...There will be a few hundred threads on this...
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.

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.
Djism is about becoming to best you can be. If not masturbating makes that happen then good for you.Originally posted by Francisco d'Anconia

And if the only thing that is holding you back from being the best that you can be is your propensity to masturbate, you are a better man than I. I must be wasting my time trying to build a real estate empire, completing my PhD and becoming irresistible to women. If I only had to worry about not masturbating to become the best that I can be, my life would suddenly have purpose.Originally posted by Vincent

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.
Your such a brag man, so pathetic! I bet your one of them guys who approches like this.Originally posted by Francisco d'Anconia

Any of you guys remember the Army's old catch phrase? What if they felt the same way as this guy? Think about it:
"Be, all that you can be (don't masturbate) in the Arrrrrrrrmy!"![]()

Bored on that and reading masturbation threads on ss.com instead ehJust bored and wanted to get a rise out of people. It's too easy...
Yep. Sad, isn't it. I was actually compelled to post in this thread just because it seemed to be one of the most active. I would have thought the most active would be about approaching or qualifying women. But nope, one of the most active threads is about self gratification. Well, I guess we should blame this on Bush too....Originally posted by Hot Ice

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.

there are lots of more useful ways to determine how disciplined you are... studyin, workin out, readin, learnin new languages, takin up a sport...Originally posted by S0LID
It shows how disciplined you are.
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.
