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.
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.

" LOOKS ARE NOT IMPORTANT "
" LOOKS DON'T MATTER "
" if u improve yourself as a man, you will be a chick magnet,as you think you shall become "
" ITS ALL IN THE MINDSET "
those words gave me hope, to me and many other djs here
now you come up and tell me what i've found out already
WOW man, that was really a revelation
Do you want to end up with an ugly girl? Why would I approach an unnatractive girl? The reason a lot of people end up with people who are similar in attractiveness is because they expect to. I don't ever want to hear a reference to 'aiming too high' on this board again. The whole point of this site is to teach guys that, no matter what they look like, they can get what they want. The whole concept of a girl being 'out of your league' is the number 1 limiting belief out there. My high school physics teacher taught me best - wherever you set your expectations, if you do it sincerely and remain determined, you will achieve them. So aim high. Aim as high as you fvcking can, because the worst that will happen is that you hit somewhere a bit lower.Originally posted by Tazman
Don't some women have the same problem? Not being attractive enough to land what they consider to be a "hot" guy must make them feel the same way right? Are you guys only approaching really attractive women? It seems like for the most part we end up with people who are similar in "attractiveness," right? Maybe you guys might be aiming too high. Although I realize you can improve your worth to get the cream of the crop, it's just harder for some of us to pull off.
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.
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.

Sounds cool? Get used to it, Don Juan.
Look man, you can let fear rule your life - but you are dooming yourself to mediocracy. Why should her lower his standards? First off, he is good looking enough to get a girl, so that excuse is out the window. I can't sit here and rebutt every single excuse, because you can rationalize all day long why he can't get a chick. He should be focusing instead on why he can get a chick. If he truly had the confidence that is so important, then he wouldn't be making a post like this. What is affecting his success is his own limiting belief."One hundred percent of the shots you don't take don't go in"
-Wayne Gretzky
The ones who don't are the ones who don't try... if 99% of girls would reject you, and you ask 100, then you've found somebody. Persistance is key. No one said everyone will get anything, but there's a consistent patter that the people who decide to get what they want do.Originally posted by MicCheck1-2
Life ain't fair. You can't pull chicks that's tough. No one said EVERYONE will get chicks.
Actually, JonJack, people who are suicidal have no delusions of grandeur. They have delusions of failure. They moan "Nobody loves me!", "My life is worthless... nobody would notice if I disappeared off the face of this Earth." I've never heard of a suicide note saying "I am an amazing great person, and I will achieve the highest possible endeavors of this world. I will become more powerful than any man in history, and discover the key to eternal happiness." It's not high standards that drives people to suicide. This kind of attitude encourages mediocracy, low enthusiasm and the feeling of powerlessness over one's own life that leads to depression and suicide.Originally posted by JonJack
What's with this talk of raising standards? You guys spewing this crap want this guy to sink deeper into his depressive state or do you seriously believe that it will help him overcome his problems? You want to know what type of people are suicidal? The ones that have unrealistic dreams or delusions of grandeur which obviously will not materialise.
Up his standards? Puh-lease! Are you guys willing to back that advice with a wager? I bet that if he would to up his standards, he will feel worse.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
