"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.

...post when you've been drinking and/or on drugs?

I know there's some AA's on here that don't drink or do any other $hit, good for you btw :up:

But the rest of you....

As a 37 year old professional :crackup: I have a drink or two pretty much every night...sometimes it leads to three or four.....or whatever.

Most writers take pride in the fact that they drink, it lets the words flow more smoothly. That being said, what's your guys' average BAC when you post on here?
 

"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.

Haven't touched booze in 7 years. Would never go back... much rather play video games or spend the afternoon over a game of magic cards with friends... nothing good comes of being drunk except lost money, time and braincells.

At 34 years old magic cards are a better investment that going out drinking? Not trying to be a total troll here, just wondering how that is a more enjoyable investment.

Someone "new" or young comes on and asks for advice and 12 guys chime in "dump that biatch" and they are all pissed - drunk......he doesn't know that and does it, when there could have been a simple solution or no solution required.
I agree with you on this one.



I'm not a writer, I was just making an example.

I should probably start drinking more.

If I'm lucky I manage to get totally wasted once a month.
 

"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.

I would never recommend getting "wasted" although it happens. No need to try to get drunk. Drinking's fine IMO, as long as you have it under control and don't use it as a constant crutch. If you can go out and have fun without drinking, then more power to you.
