"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.

How would you deal with women if they accuse you of "being controlling" and "not being flexible"?

Like for instance if they cross a boundary and you tell them "hey babe I dont like when you do that".
 

"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.

Depends on what boundary they crossed.

‘Controlling’ is distinct from‘being in control’

One micro-manages the small stuff, the other doesn’t sweat the small stuff.

Being controlling and not flexible comments first step requires your comprehensive personal behavior self assessment. You may be…
If negative, then it’s all on her.
‘I have standards in my life’, vague replies etc. Leave it on her to decide if she measures up…
Not after the fact reactive, ‘I don’t like when you do that.’
You’re the sheriff, let her know the laws beforehand, then if she makes that comment, there’s a compatibility problem…

If you are with a woman and she doesnt feel as if you are in control and leading, she isnt going to stick around long (unless she is a feminist or dom).

I do not give ultimatums or restrictions to women I am dating. They are free to choose their own choices. However, I will simply allow them to eliminate themselves from my dating pool if they continue to make the same poor choices over and over.

So there should never be anything said from a woman that I am being "controlling". It should just be understood by my withdraw of attention when she makes a poor choice in her actions that I will walk away if she continues to choose poorly.

If you have a woman that is saying you are controlling, you are showing beta signs of jealousy, neediness, etc. Take that to the bank.

In my world the door is unlocked when the come in and unlocked in case they want to leave. No control here. I just keep mental notes of their poor choices, use Silence and Distance and then eventually allow them to eliminate themselves.

BTW- ALL the women I date tell me how laid back and fun I am. Never does the word controlling pop up.

Its a very simple process.

Remember-

You have no control over a woman's actions. You can only control how to spend your currency which is the amount of attention you give them.

There is nothing controlling about that. Its actually wise. You wouldnt invest your money into something that doesnt look promising or with an investor that makes poor choices. Why would you do the same with a woman?
