That's true it was before I let all these concepts sink in.

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.
Do you watch Monty Python? Plenty of materials on accountants you can use.My Name is Nobody said:Ahh, that makes sense. Now how can I neg her about getting that degree, LOL?
No I haven't can you post a few examples?Jitterbug said:Do you watch Monty Python? Plenty of materials on accountants you can use.
Just tell her you didn't go to school and tell her the interesting things u did instead. Its deffo not a dealbreaker....if she likes you, this won't make her not sleep with you, and if she didn't, and you told her all the wonderful qualifications you have (if you had them), it wouldn't make her wanna sleep with you anyway.My Name is Nobody said:I understand that it's a good point, but when the subject of school comes up I'm trying to figure out what to say and how a DJ would handle that situation.
She sounds smart and rich BTW. She has a graduate degree and a CPA and owns a nice house. What the hell is a CPA?
I can pull off making her think I make alot of money. I have my own place and a decent car and a decent job and I bought a new wardrobe with some nice clothes. So I'll just go with it but I would still love to hear how a DJ would react when the subject of shooling comes up. I have a couple years of college (community) done and I want to go back I'm lazy.
I don't think honesty is the best approach here.
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.

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.
We'll see how it goes, I don't want to offend her. I don't even know her! Something like that could go either way.Jitterbug said:It's the first date, but still a date, so I can't see why you can't say that. Hell I say the same things to non-dates. It's called flirting.![]()
If she's offended by such light-hearted stuff, you turn around and RUN. That's a sign of an uptight militant feminazi.My Name is Nobody said:We'll see how it goes, I don't want to offend her. I don't even know her! Something like that could go either way.
WHATEVER missy, I have my own place. Wanna come over?iqqi said:*You're the kind of girl I could take home to mother - which is good, since I still live with her.
:yes:
The ones in orange would be best for you specifically.
If she asks what institution/school you have been to, just say 'life'. She will have a perplexed/My Name is Nobody said:What do you do when you have a date with a smart woman with all sorts of College degrees? And what if you have NO degree?
School is bound to come up and what am I supposed to say I partied and never got into a good college?
I consider myself pretty smart, but school just isn't my thing. And I am fairly successful in life but have no degrees to show for it.
So how do you handle this situation in a smooth way without sounding like a loser?
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.
Also, a discussion about past education will help build attraction how? Isn't there possibly one or maybe two other things to talk about?VashStampede said:Everyone of atleast average intelligence already knows that marks in school or univeristy etc do not represent how smart a person is. Only dilluded parents believe that ****
