I want to know so I can see how people compare. Moved to a new place and I feel like I have to start over.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.
How many good friends do you have?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I have a network of people and used to have 5 really good friends but they all joined the military or moved away. Now I have 2 really good ones and a bunch of normal ones

i used to have friends i considered pretty close, but they changed... i have a few good mates and lots of acquitences, but in terms of reallly good friends, or someone i really get on with/best friend, no one comes to mind. I would love to meet a girl who was also a best friend, not very dj though...

I've got 6 or 7 guys I would consider my good friends. I've got plenty more normal/regular friends, but those guys are the best.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
2 guys who are like brothers to me, my best friends.
one guy in detroit who used to be my best friend.
one guy in canada who is my cousin, blood. my other best friend.
one guy in russia, who is my best friend.
then i got good buds scattared around the world.
I say "best friends" becuase i dont discriminate.. i dont want to pick.

I don't have as many friends as some of you.

I used to have like 10 or 15 close friends but after high school most went away to college or they got on hardcore drugs and never came back. Now I'm left with like 2 or 3.
"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.

I dunno if other people fit into this scenario. I have five close buddies. However, in terms of "normal" friends, I only have about two or three.
I mean, there's always quite a few aquaintences, but that's it.
It's hardly an awful situation, but I hope to expand my comfortably normal horizons sometime in the future.

currently no genuine good friends, many aquatences who probably consider me a friend but if sh1t hit the fan i dont think i could rely on anyone.
Its been a while since i'v had a good friend, one got killed by some drugged aborigine punks, one moved to Europe and the last as another poster said 'changed'.

i keep about 3-4 close friends, that's pretty much it
i count close friends as people i could call at 3am and say "hey, my car died on the highway, can you come give me a jump?"
and if they would, that's a close friend.

"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.
