Yea. Sometimes my thoughts don't quite make it to the paper with 100% claritybut I assume you meant that he spoke in a condescending manner?
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.
Whatever, LIK. Don't preach to me about doing something creative and worthwhile with my time, it makes u sound hypocritical man.Originally posted by LikRetsam
Instead of picking at little points, go do something creative and worthwhile with your time.
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.

And another innocent tip: maybe you wouldn't fail school if you put more time into english essays or something instead of these long a$$ posts of yours...
peace out
Dude, come on Lik...you take things so seriously. Did I ever say I didn't appreciate your harsh (but true) opinions? No.Originally posted by LikRetsam
You bother me.
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.

All I have to ask/say is this: If an admin were to get the logs of LikRetSam's total time on the forums, and account for the 6 hours he is at school. I would guess that his schedule would be like so:
7:00am: Wake up, and get ready for school
7:30-3:30pm: Act like a computer nerd at school
4:00pm-11:00pm: Act like a pimp on sosuave.com
11:15pm: Go to sleep
You take all the concepts, all the useful stuff provided here at such a deep level, examining everything to it's fullest extent.
However, most things here are meant to be taken at a "surface" level.
What you are doing is like examining the following sentence: "Mom thinks peanut butter is awesome and tasty."
Then trying to derive every meaning from every word and every context.
When all this sentence really means is mom thinks peanut butter is awesome and tasty, end of story.
I have believed many times that I had it. Each time I got creamed. I learned my lesson longggggg ago =)Originally posted by The Matrix: Reloaded
Wow... I am beginning to notice that more people are starting to look deeper into things. All of those "techniques" are not exactly cutting it like they used to huh? Lik, I have a feeling that you believe that you have got it... but you have not. Great start, excellent start. But this is only the beginning... you are only at the beginning. Many of the things you said seem concrete in your mind... so many paths derive from everything that you said... that somewhere you will easily gets lost. Everything you said sounds very good in theory (on surface) but when you stop to think about all of this Lik (like BBB mentioned) it may be different (or alternate to what you orginally believed) in practice.
Just think...
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.

Things will never be 100% as we see them. Having a perspective on something makes it easier for us to tackle that task even though what we believe may be completly wrong.
I do not claim to know it all and through acknowledging this I may strive to continue to gather my information!
I think that to the less experienced, this may help them keep things in check. I'm only 15, but I've had my fair share of experience. I havn't been around the block as many times as others but this may help those venturing in this new neighborhood.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
