"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.
how to get respect from people younger than me?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The most important thing is self respect..when you sense people not respecting you, they've probably sensed that YOU don't respect yourself. Thus it becomes a downward spiral. And eventually it will show through you literally not respecting yourself by not chasing excellence.
You gotta stop GAF about what "they " think of you bro..by the way, what's your definition of respect or being respected? Again, if you respect yourself it will show in every thing you do. E.g i will respect a well dressed man over a dusty old fart sweat smelling dude.
Respect is always earned and never given...

Respect is earned not given. So if you want to earn respect, be someone worthy of respecting.

Hi Amsterdam,
Konrad Lorenz,known as the Father of Modern Ethology wrote once...Something to the effect that....Of all the known Primates,(Ape like creatures),Man is the only species that copies the behaviour of the young!
"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.

Your size, proportions, accomplishments and life style decide how worthy of respect you are.
