"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.

Why hello everyone, this is my first post here on this forum (but you knew that, because you haven't seen me before...).

Anyway, onto whatever crap I want to get out today. The subject of: hugging.

For the last few months, whenever I have been in this situation:

1) With a female friend, who I am NOT going out with, but she does have an interest in me, though not necessarily a high one,
2) introduces me to a friend of hers (female, of course), I will hug her BEFORE saying hi, hello, how are you, etc.

A hug is a hug, I don't bother analysing the length or "type" of a hug - there really isn't much point, at least to me. It is the action that matters more than the execution here.

Also, keep the conversation as short as possible. You will meet the friend again more than likely. Don't tell her too much. Keep it SHORT - she will think about you then.

I do this because:

1) It shows CONFIDENCE. I am saying, effectively, "I am physically attractive to you, and you will want to hug me".
2) Confidence is a GOOD THING!
3) Keeping the conversation short also brings MYSTERY into it.
4) Mystery is a good thing!

The last time I did this was with a friend of a girl I met on the bus. My friend has to get two buses to work to get into town then to a business park. Her friend had to get the same second bus.

Needless to say, when I went past that bus stop and saw her friend, I hugged her. I kept the conversation down to "...and your name is", introduced myself, then left. I had other opportunities on other days to attempt a number close, and so didn't. Also, it keeps up the mystery.

On the bus home that evening her friend said "She really likes you by the way".

Result.

Any thoughts on this method? It has never failed me yet. It also shows the importance of "birds of a feather, flock together" - so even if she has a bloke already (of course I do feel guilty denying myself to her, but it can' be helped), she will have FRIENDS.
 

"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.

hugging ? It must be an american thing because as an european, i never saw guys hugging girls, it's always a kiss on the cheek however, i think a hug would be waaay better!

I'm from the UK, by the way, NOT America.

Glad I got some replies actually.

I'd prefer critical posts though...

GO ON! Slag me off:D

I'm not sure what you mean? But I know if you randomly came up to someone and tried hugging them before telling them who you are you would get maced.

You: *comes within a foot, spreads his arms*
Chick: *knees you in crotch, sprays pepper spray in your face, screams "rape! rape!"*

lol, I know a guy who can pull all this stuff off. He picks them up, plays around with them, hugs them etc and it ALL comes off absolutely natural.

Not to mention, it works him wonders with the ladies. But this definately aint my style. A kiss on the cheek is much more suitable for my game.

"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.

where everyone seems to need social acceptance in
Hugging, kissing on the cheek, etc. is a way of saying hi. It's the same way you give your guy friends high fives and daps, you give girls a kiss on the cheek and a hug.

Other than the hug, I agree with you on everything else. The only time it's different is when the girl practically jumps on you. Either she is just flirty or she's into you.
