"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Howard Stern just got engaged

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.
What make you think Howard Stern was a DJ?d9930380 said:I can't believe it, even the best of us will get stupid when a hot piece of ass is concerned.
The guy was a NATURAL AFC. And continues to be one.

He is already divorced. And he has LOT of $$$$ (MILLIONS).Skel said:Why was he stupid for getting engaged? He has been with her for a long time.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Keep it simple man.
What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?bigjohnson said:I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with getting married. For me it's about who wears the pants, not how many "plates" I have spinning. As long as I get what I need that's what is important. Simple.
Keep it simple man.
If she divorces him...he loses MUCH more than win.

You bring up a good point. I don't see why people rush to get married anyways --- you can just have a LTR and if it happens to last a lifetime, great!Latinoman said:What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?

Marriage is just a big religious vestige.
That's what people thought of Heather Mills. The NOW very rich ex-wife of Paul McCartney.Mind_Body_Soul said:Beth O - his g/f seems to be pretty subservient, so my guess is that he's in control in the relationship.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.

Just because a man has money does not mean he should be scared of marriage. There are women out there that aren't digging for gold. Im not saying his fiance is or isnt one of these women, but you all act as if only poor men should get married.

That's the hard part about having a talk show I guess. You say things passionately at one time that you can never take back.
dont be surprised if he was the one who wanted the marriage more than she did.
and yes, personally i think stern is a moron. sure his stuff is funny at times, but what a waste of a life hes had. hes had about as much positive impact on the world as that anna nicole smith.
"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.
