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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

How do u get a prettier face?
Working out can only tone your body, and you can only look so good (7/10). U need the pretty face to get into the 8,9,10 range.
So how do u do it?
Thanks, guys! U guys rock!
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Thanks guys
Also, when you say "If you can afford it, buy something not coming from a drug store." what do u mean by that? Where else would I be able to find such products?
About any large store where girls shop. They usually have a "For Men's" section where you can find most product you need. Look at the ads in FHM, Maxim and other such mags for ideas on what brands to look for. I recommend the Decleor line of products if you can find it.
Also do you guys have ne examples of good-looking haircuts? (e.g. pictures).
also what are your opinions towards things like making your eyelashes longer, or using concealer...personally I think that's a little too fairyish, but maybe I'm wrong? what do u guys think?
It's just plain gay. Anything that looks, feels or acts like makeup is for queens and girls.
Thanks again, guys.
No problem

Absolutely no makeup. You think people won't notice, but damnit they will. Everybody notices everything, and if you ever get caught with makeup on, it's over. Personally, if I ever saw a guy at school and suspected makeup, I would tackle him right there, and start rubbing on it. If it's makeup, I'd beat it off him. If not, I'd just call it an aggressive hug.
I keep reading a reference to makeup. Is it honestly a new trend for men to wear makeup, or are you guys just being facetious?Originally posted by Soshyopathe

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.
A couple of things.Originally posted by KiLLer
Uh... that book you suggested... that woman in the book isn't so good looking herself...
And I think it's for old people only as they get wrinkles.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
No. The cosmetics industry is trying to turn men into stressed-out, overly self-concious basket cases like they've done with women. I remember a few years back they were trying to say that nail colours and eyeliner would be the next big fashion statement for men. Fortunately this will NEVER HAPPEN, I pray. Taking care of your appearance is one thing but I don't want to end up like those girls who read Seventeen magazine.Originally posted by Capitol39
