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.
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.
It's pretty damn easy to do if you aren't a total putz at boxing, or just at punching in general. Keep in mind, homeboy ain't fighting back, either.MrS said:MetalFortress, 1 minute gives you 120-200 punches?
Who are you, Sugar Ray Robinson?
*sniff sniff*Deus ex Pianoforte said:And I happen to be on a first name basis with about a dozen police officers. You really do not want to cross that line. Unless you believe it's worth sitting in jail for death threats because of a difference of political affiliations.
Did I? It won't be much of a challenge to prove who the instigator was in the Assault and Battery charges brought up against you if you truly are 6'5, 300. I'm 5'11, 175. The jury would eat you alive.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
And you, by going into uber-serious poindexter mode, are mentally elevating him from common troll to a serious threat. He's an instigator, and a troll by definition posts what he does simply to get a reaction. You're giving him what he wants.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Not quite. I actually marvel at those who are actually stupid enough to make death threats over the Internet for all to see.![]()
ROFL you know what's more funny? How seriously you take yourself. If it's a "stupid" death threat then why are so EMOTIONAL and reacting so much? Obviously it's bothering you... well chump I also know couple officers by their first name, o wait actually I know 3 police chiefts too. Who ever said that "I" was going to be involved? You won't have any evidence in court either. LOL are you seriously going to use this post for your "prosecution?"Deus ex Pianoforte said:Not quite. I actually marvel at those who are actually stupid enough to make death threats over the Internet for all to see.![]()
That's the stupidest thing I have ever read. You don't know my name or address. I can change my IP too.Deus ex Pianoforte said:I never said it was a "stupid" death threat. It is however, pretty dumb to threaten someone online where these records can be checked and admitted into evidence into court at your murder trial. There was no emotion except for levity, when I laughed at your willingness to kill those who are not liberal extremists.
People who threaten to "dump" people's bodies don't associate with police chiefs. Make your lies more believable.
You did. It's known as Aiding and Abetting.
Then what's this text file that I have saved to my desktop?![]()
Well, if you somehow hunt me down and kill me I won't be doing much of anything. If I see any signs of stalking, however, I will immediately bring a copy of your death threat to the local police department.
Right... FBI has nothing better to do then find a teenager threatening another teenager over a internet forum, yup I guess that's why US can't win the Iraq War.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Riiiiiight. I'm sure the FBI will have a real tough time tracking you down, bro. They totally don't have a team of guys that spend all day on their computer that find people like you for a living!
Heh, you really don't know the law, do you? It doesn't matter what you say. The threat came from your computer, so you are therefore responsible for it. No getting around that. Man up and take responsibility for your actions.
Death threat? Where did you get that idea? Your the one that taking everything so seriously. Didn't the Cheerforce teach ya to lighten up? lol I can easily prove that someone else was on my computer and I can always find witnesses. :moon:Deus ex Pianoforte said:I'm 25. You're the one here filled with teen angst making death threats over the Internet.
Wrong. You can prove that you weren't in the car at the time, but you can't prove that you weren't sitting at your computer.
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.
Wow you don't know sh*t about the armed forces do you? "Cheerforce" is another name for the airforce, dumbass I thought you were in it? Well that just proves that you either weren't in the airfoce or you're just too stupid to learn anything.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Gee, I don't know.
I assume "Cheerforce" is a misspelling of the parody "Chair Force"? If you think the military is designed to teach people to "lighten up", then it's very consistent with your ignorance thus far...and yes, I take death threats seriously.
Can't prove something that didn't happen. Each IP address is logged by individual post, so you're done. Just lay low for awhile and stay out of contact with me.
Dues: I'm g8y and I have nothing better to do, but copy and paste txt from a internet forum I post 5 times a day.Deus ex Pianoforte said:(quietly copies and pastes to the growing "PeterNorthThreats.txt" file.)
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.
Actually, Kimbo was beat by Boston cop, Sean Gannon.DevanE said:Guy takes a punch from KIMBO for a 100$
For all those that don't know who Kimbo is, he is fresh out of prison and fights people for money. He is pretty much a street brawler and so far from what I've seen he fights people who he KNOWS have no chance against him. Eh. :kick:
dude, teens or people in general get in trouble for this sort of nonsense all the time. do you watch the news?PeterNorthisawesome said:Right... FBI has nothing better to do then find a teenager threatening another teenager over a internet forum, yup I guess that's why US can't win the Iraq War.
Yes I do know the law, what your saying shows your ignorance with the law. What if someone steals your car and use it to run over 3 people, by your defintion you would be prosecuted since YOU OWNED the car and it's YOUR responsibility. :crackup:
You got that from the Rocky movie.~attrACTION~ said:"Punch Me For $5"
How much for sidekicks?I will of course set boundaries and not allow them to punch my face, neck, or groin area. And I may charge $10 for them to punch me in the face.
Deus is a disinformation agent and works for the Pentagon and Israel -- nobody could purposely be so wrong on every current events topic unless he is an disinfo agent!!!!!!!!Deus ex Pianoforte said:Heh, you don't want to go there. I was having a "debate" with him on another thread and found out he thinks the Fox News Channel is biased, and has no clue who Tony Snow is.

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.
