Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
That made me chuckle.Who Dares Win said:Just like the planets, it depends on her mass except that in this case is the other way around.
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.
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.
Who the f*ck does this sh!t? are these guys around your age? I just can't believe how many chumps fill this world. How can these guys not see what they're doing?apprenticedj said:Take my old oneitis for example.
She had dozens of guys showering her with FB/IG likes, no fewer than 10 text buddies, 5 orbiters bringing her goodies, 2-3 dudes she would ALLOW to take her out places and only 1 she would ****.
Now granted she was hotter than average (probably HB8) so she may have more than most but I think all girls apply the funnel system, larger at the top, smaller at the bottom.
X amount of social media "likers", X amount text buddies, X guys that bring her starbucks and sh*t, X guys that she goes out with and X guys she f*cks.
The number gets lower with every tier.
There's no limit to the amount of desperate beta fvcks out there. I will always be staggered by it.AttackFormation said:Who the f*ck does this sh!t? are these guys around your age? I just can't believe how many chumps fill this world. How can these guys not see what they're doing?

What's keeping them this way? shouldn't they wake up... holy sh!t. To be above teenage and do that stuff.LMFAO said:There's no limit to the amount of desperate beta fvcks out there. I will always be staggered by it.

I would define what we definte as "satelites" I guess you mean orbiter.
If my that we mean friendzoned guys which turn around her looking for their chance, the more she is attractive the more she has but it also depends about her life habits, work place, places she attends and so on plus her will to keep a guy in her orbit or take him out cause she cant stand him (omegas).
I believe any girl has a main orbiter plus minor ones, possibly any environment is different, gym has X, school has Y and so on.
But keep in mind that orbiters are not exclusive, the same guy could orbit around many girl....guess they also "spin plates from the friendzone".
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.
