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.

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.

Only difference is just 5 decades ago there was a trade off or perks to this which kind of softened the blow. Man was King of his castle without the threat of the state and the emotional whims of an unhaaaapy wife hanging over his head, not a "man cave" in sight, a smiling, nurturing wife and his genetic continuation were waiting for his arrival, the lefties had not yet destroyed his work environment or any and all male spaces etc etc. All that's gone but he's still expected to hold his part of the bargain. Obviously some of us more "misogynist" types demand and took back the bonuses we once had but you get my point.
