"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 often do you feel euphoric?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

If you are depending on some sort of external "trigger" you are mistaken. That is the easiest way, but in reality that external "trigger' causes you to have an internal response.
With practice, you can learn to create that internal response despite your external circumstances. Don't be misled, it does take quite a bit of time to master, but it is one of the more worthy pursuits.
If you want a quick and dirty shortcut, choose a goal that is just out of reach, and then figure out a way to make it happen. That usually feels pretty good.

"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 personally have nothing against weed smokers, I used to be a daily smoker... One thing that always drove me insane is people who smoke weed and discuss topics like:Cr1msonKing said:
- how high they feel
- how dank this weed is and how much better it is than yours
- how great the dealer is. i've seen some of the most stuck up people turn to pu$$ys when their dealer arrives, losing all their self-pride (that's one reason I don't smoke much. I'm not gonna waste hard earned cash so that somebody can make a living off me - it's hard to have a real friendship with a dealer because it's all business and they'll be so nice to you regardless)
- why they should legalize weed
- why everybody should smoke weed
- 4:20 (it's played out)
- weed is natural VS. other drugs that aren't
- start staring at the weed closely as if it was a diamond or something
- laughing idiotically (if you can't handle getting high and maintaining a regular convo, then don't) - real smokers don't get stupid when they smoke, they get more creative
I remember this Dave Chappelle stand up where he said (not exact words):
Dave: I stopped smoking weed (the audience is like
)Dave: You didn't let me finish, I said I stopped smoking weed, with black folks... I strictly smoke with white people only!
Dave: All blacks talk about when they get high is their court cases, parole, baby mama trouble and all kinds of problems
Dave: When white people get high, all they talk about is other times they got high.
lol, that's true.
Last time I clearly recall that was at a party where I was rubbing on this girls skin and it just felt so damn good. We were drinking and smoking weed and then we went outside and made out. That felt pretty damn good.
Then I'm thinking also of going hang gliding for the first time earlier this year. That was a bit of euphoria, fear and excitement all rolled into one. Powerless flight will do that.

With all due respect. You think that really had anything to do with it? The only people who know I smoke are the people I want to know. I hide it well. You wouldn't know I smoked if you knew me, unless I knew you were down with it. I also know of quite a few people in positions of power and even a couple of Judges and so many police officers and lawyers who smoke or are cool with it I can't even name them all.Wiesman44 said:
Yes I do like to smoke, but I don't do pills or anything but the Green and drink like maybe 2-3 times a week. I really don't consider that a drug addiction. I stop when I have to, that means when I have to take a drug test for a job or when I need to do anything that would be difficult for me to do when I'm high. I go to work high most days, and it actually helps me work better. I have something wrong with me that makes me sick almost every time I wake up. If I don't smoke I end up throwing up throughout the day, so it's like my medicine and I don't even have to go to the doctor to get the remedy, but when NC and possibly Georgia makes it legal for medicinal purposes I'm getting my card.
"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.

How's your stomach, though? I'm not trying to scare you, but that sounds like Crohn's disease, which is commonly self-medicated with mj. I have heard that Marinol is like eating a brownie. It's not easy to get prescribed, but it is at least legal.

Do you have anywhere I could start reading? Or articles that got you started that explained what to do? I'm interested in this. I did try lucid dreaming for a while and got some progress with that, and anything that involves unlocking your brain or heightening yourself as a person is always appealing to me.
I'd say that maybe once every 2 or 3 months for me, the last time was last week right after I smoked a cigarette, but it wasn't so much of a 'buzz' high but it was something I hadn't really felt before after a cigarette. I felt good, not like a "high" or "buzzed" kind of good, but just this steady feeling of well being of myself. I ended up taking a walk around campus and did a few tasks that I had been putting off, and the feeling just slowly subsided an hour or so later.

Oh yeah. I quit drinking too. I don't have anything wrong with me really. I think it was more in my head than anything else. I'm not against medicinal MJ, btw, but I really didn't have a good reason to use it every day like that.Bible_Belt said:
