Changed your life with women?HOMBRE said:Actually, I've had other forums change my life. I can't speak for this one since I'm new.
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.

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.
Absolutely with women..no doubt about that. With men too. But yeah, with women especially. I used to not like women much...kind of like most of you I'd guess.My Name is Nobody said:Changed your life with women?

"Utilize" your love. Interesting way of putting it. So did you figure out how to "utilize" it? Your love I mean.My Name is Nobody said:I've always loved women, I just didn't know how to utilize my love.
Yeah I have learned that the way to utilize your love is NOT being an AFC.HOMBRE said:"Utilize" your love. Interesting way of putting it. So did you figure out how to "utilize" it? Your love I mean.
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.
We can certainly try, but at the end of it all, iqqi has to WANT to fix her problem... and that's even if she believes she has a problem.If we're going to interject ourselves into other people's lives why can't we step up and help iqqi with her problem?
Amen. I'm not talking about an intervention. If iqqi doesn't ask for help then none will be given.Desdinova said:We can certainly try, but at the end of it all, iqqi has to WANT to fix her problem... and that's even if she believes she has a problem.
You know how many times I was tempted to help out drunk AWs? Too many to count. I really felt bad for them, but what could I do? Give them a ride home so they could sleep it off? Let them puke in my truck?
It's really fukkin sad to see, but the person with the problem needs to want help. That's why our "mission" over at Loveshack was successful, it's full of people who want help.

This is the clarity I've come to expect from wise Brothers such as Zen.ZenGodMod said:We all shouldn't have reacted to, responded against or attached ourself to iqqi's statements, it just fueled her and entertained drama more then it helped anyone.
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.
I think Hombre might be a woman.HOMBRE said:Your mission was a complete and dismal failure.
What's an AW? And what's an AFC again? I can't keep up with all these retarded abbreviations, sorry.
Men, we should be celebrating our victory, not fighting amongst ourselves. We live to fight another day...KontrollerX said:If keto wishes to supplant me as KX he must face me in direct combat to the death!

LOL.
No sh!t. Try not to make it so obvious next time, HOMBRE.Charmed said:Hombre is a woman
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.
Abso-fvcking-lutely! With bagpipes and kilts with nothing underneath but sweaty sac and farts!Mr.Positive said:Men, we should be celebrating our victory, not fighting amongst ourselves. We live to fight another day...
We need a sosuave victory march...and yes, with bagpipes.

Damnit...I love being a man too!! I'm fired up right now, and I've got bagpipes blaring as I type this...you know, we ought to form the first sosuave pipes and drums band.KarmaSutra said:Abso-fvcking-lutely! With bagpipes and kilts with nothing underneath but sweaty sac and farts!
Hot damn I love being a man!
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.
