"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

"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.

1. Go for LJBF with every chick, initially. Continue to game while denying running game.
2. Preempt them by assuming they don't want you due to height. Scores points for self-awareness, takes pressure off them, and makes them feel guilty for being so shallow.
3. Introduce the notion that you have another girlfriend (not seen of course), and are thankful you found one who can look past your height. This stops them from stereotyping you as desperate.
4. Pivot your LJBFs. Be patient, and over time, one may very well decide that your height is not such a big issue after all.

Will my life be portrayed just like The 40 Year Old Virgin? Yes, but without the happy ending. Thus, I dont give a **** anymore. At least I'm trying not to give a **** anymore. I know I never will, thus I have another aspect of my life to focus on and that's my financial situation. Going off to college for 6 years to study pharmacy and inherit my fathers small pharmaceutical business.
I guess it sucks that most guys can only have one or the other. The typical jerks in high school always get the hottest woman, but 40 years later end up working as a janitor in the same high school. Or the typical intelligent kid, who makes bills but can only spend it on material bull**** rather than spending it with someone else. Unfortunately my life will fall under the latter. Very difficult to have the best of both worlds. And I blame my physical height. I'm not bad looking in anyway, whatsoever. Girls call me cute all the time, and I'm fit. I'm in the middle of all the social groups but with a core group of friends. Not like it matters now though since everyone is going to college.
But it's just as someone in So Suave said in a thread about physical height just like this one: "If you are 5'3 or shorter, I don't care how much game you have or how good your seduction skills are, you are SOL unless a miracle appears."
And its true. When you pass a girl on the street, by natural instinct she disqualifies you if you dont meet her height requirements. Height is the first thing women look at to see how much of a "man" you are. Unfortunately for me, I'm disqualified by 99.9% of women. Hell my dad probably would never have been able to marry my mom if it hadn't been for an arranged marriage hahaha. I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just stating a fact.
I'm sorry OP for ranting in your thread, but I just don't think you should take for granted of what you have. Sorry for any grammatical errors. The iPad is a ***** to type on.
I just got some Honeycomb Gel insoles in the mail. 2 pairs of 1/2 in. lifts. Will 1/2 inch make a huge difference?
I can also stack both for a 1 inch boost, using high-tops or something, so my heels don't fall out the sides.
I'm mainly using the 1/2 inch with Vans, and other sneakers. Does that really make a difference you think
"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.
