"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for 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.

Yes, it might affect your job opportunities. There will be Manager out there that will feel that you don't represent the company's image by having a tattoo at such a visible place. If you are so keen to get a tat, get it so it easy to hide with a simple t-shirt or a normal shirt.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
It might. I wonder if it's possible to cover up something like that, like with make-up or something, in a job interview/on the job.
 

"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.

If you ever want to get into a proffesional environment, you'v got to make sure your tattos are hidden under your cloths. Usually in every proffesional environment you will be wearing a shirt to work with long pants so places like the face, neck, hands, forearms, should not show any signs of tattos.

Yes, it will affect any chance you have of being hired. The only types of tattoos that are generally acceptable in the office are ones that are hidden by clothes. One on your hand doesn't fall into that category. In my opinion, it would be a mistake, but hey, it's your hand.

my friend works professionaly in an office. he has a tatoo on his shoulder.

Yes it can affect your opportunities, so it's advised to get it where it can be covered up by clothing.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Think about this:

What areas will be covered up if you wear a tie, a suit, and a long sleeved shirt?

Get the tattoo on an area that'll be covered up by that, so if you're a work it won't be visible.

I'm with the guy who said that tatoos on the hand/calf are white-trash. Get it somewhere else.
