"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don't always care enough to do it, but if I do I won't do it to my friends.

NOTE: By AMOG, I'm specifically referring to a situation where someone is trying to game a girl and you're also gaming her yourself, making it harder for him to do so. There's a difference between being an alpha male and being the Alpha Male Other Guy, IMO.

"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.

I only do it when the group I'm with are having a problem making a decision. They're not usually arguing but just confused. That's only 20-25% of the time. That includes times when they appoint me the leader; everyone needs to pull their weight. :D

Thinking in terms of alpha "being done to/by me" comes out of an unrealistic belief of what constitutes a modern-day alpha male ( no offense, I am not trying to 'AMOG' anyone).

To me being 'alpha' isn't something you 'wouldn't do onto others', because being alpha means *giving* value to the group. Taking charge and making sure all have a good time, reading people and being inclusive, and so on. If one adopts a positive attitude and becomes a cool guy, he 'AMOG''s all the guys by a powerful presence. DO you think Dr. 90120 or some nerdy guy who decides to 'AMOG' him is more likely to go home with a hawtee?

OTOH, associating with 'cool guys' will make you seem cooler by association, and they will tend to rub off as David D claims because we tend to become more like those we spend time with.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

if my friend is trying to game a girl and he got to her first, i'd talk to her a little but i wouldnt start trying to spit harder game than him or something.

with some of my friends we tell each other which girls are ours and the rest of us will lay off a little.
