"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's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Wait, you wanna quit. Well, the best way to quit mild addictions like caffiene or porn (as opposed to crack or cigarettes) is to go incrementally. Just quit for a day, then quit for two, then for 3. That way, you don't have to swear it off all at once. Or ever, really.
"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.

I don't know how people have the time for a porn addiction, what a waste of time! think off all you could be doing in that time. Also read the chapter on sex transmutation from think and grow rich, you can find it on line in loads of places if you search for it.

And that other habit is HELL OF A LOT MORE EXPENCIVE (bolive me, im trying to kick it.)
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I think if you called the radio show 'Loveline' and told them that, they'd be like "chill out; you're only normal." Unfortunately for the current state of 'normal,' they would probably be right. If you really had an addiction, it would be more like all day every day. But just throw your collection away and get a real girl - not a hooker, but compromise a little if you have to. The real thing is much better.deathrock said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I can tell you have no idea about porn, or even masturbation addictions. People who share you attitude think that it is about "not being able to get a girl". "I can get a girl, therefore I am better than you and you just need to be able to get what I can get".Bible_Belt said:
Get off your high horse. Simply not true. I can't tell you how many cases I've seen of people trying to kick porn and masturbation addictions in marriages that are otherwise going well. I've seen one documentary on at least 5 of them alone.
So no, it is NOT about the guy not being able to get a girl to pleasure him. It is an addiction, PERIOD. It is a psychological state, independent of the physical situation. The body thinks it NEEDs the porn/masturation. It is a strong psychological link. Has nothing to do with another girl being in the picture. It is not that simple.

umm, I guess that's a compliment, so thanks

From being married, I'd say bullsh!t to that. It's easy to appear like the marriage is doing well when it is not. If one spouse is not getting enough satisfaction from the other, then they turn elsewhere.
It is an addiction, PERIOD.
Fine. If porn is a drug, then just get another drug. There are plenty, and not all of them are bad, like adrenalin or endorphins. If your mind seeks an escape, then give it the escape it wants, but focus it on a different activity. There are plenty of female sex and masturbation addicts. Find one of them and live happily ever after. Escapism through sex is natural and normal.
Basically, I deleted all my porn, even throw out my play boys. It is hard, porn and no mastrubation I mean. At times I find myself doing things or starting to do things. I wouldnt say its involuntary, but I just end up doing stuff.
However, the feeling I get in my crouch is absolutely worth it. That unexplained urge to do things, and while in public, is exceptional for sarging. Im extrimely agressive. SKin color, voice, face expression, everything is different, I even think differentely now.
Hang in there, if you have to jerk, jerk, but not to porn.

the embarrassment alone will deter you from doing it.

- Do your thing
- Wait about a minute to the point where you feel all ashamed
- Delete your porn folder
Eventually you'll just get tired of downloading it. Otherwise just go cold turkey... it's not like it's a disease you lack willpower, its not a physical addiction. It's hard as hell the first 2-3 days but after you're fine.
Try to sublimate it into something else like the gym/sports/hobby.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
