"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.

I had a "plesant" discussion here with someone about being gay. He called me a metrosexual since homosexuality does not apply to me, here is a list of things I do to take care of my body, guys, is this "too much" ? I live in europe btw, in a country without a macho culture, anyway here it is.

- my nails are always cut
- my face is always shaved
- my hair below my head is always trimmed/shaved, that includes chest, under arms, "down there"
- my haircut is important to me
- I always smell neutral OR good (I use deo/perfume)
- my clothes are important to me, NO, I dont buy some crazy catalogues, I dont follow fashion, but I like to dress WELL
- I have different glasses, for work, to go out, etc

does this sound gay/metrosexual ? does it mean in YOUR eyes that Im not a "man" ? I repeat, I'm only interested in women.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

There is nothing wrong with any of the above.

Maybe try diesel fuel for cologne and see if anyone calls you a metrosexual then!

That's being a guy who takes pride in what he does.... (not being a jay)

All those things are things that I do.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I'd say you're somewhere between fabulously metrosexual and super-duper metrosexual.

If you were living in the 1950's, the above would have been considered normal, respectable and expected by everyone in the general public. But you have to understand the warped mind of the masses influenced by magazines and TV.

This is what it was like in 50's and before

Be who you are not what others think you are.

Depends on your haircut and your clothes.

Depends on the way you walk and where you place your hands in relation to your body.

Depends on your voice and conversation.

I agree with the others. Often I do or say things myself some stupid people might consider gay. but who cares? It's the fact you are attracted and get with women that are important. hell I shave/trim, have a sense for fashon, and wax my eye brows, and **** it if I have something I want to cover up on my face before I go out you damn well better believe I'll use coverup.

Some guys might call me gay, but they can call me gay all they want when I'm the one out there getting numbers and make outs from various women.

wtf is wrong with you?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
