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.
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.
Excuses are excuses. After middle school and maybe a little bit in high school the AFC's get burned out in NYC as well.EA Gold said:It's too easy in new york, even for afc's can get it without any effort. I'm not surprised.
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.
Mike32ct said:To answer your question, her letting you go raw doesn't mean anything. For some women, it can mean she considers you a serious LTR partner, but for a casual sex partner it doesn't mean much. The reason I say that is that it is scary just how easy it is to go raw if you really wanted to. A lot of women are just purely driven by their emotions and instinct and in the heat of the moment they just don't care.
Plus the risk of getting knocked up secretly turns them on in ways we can't even comprehend. (Even on the pill, the whole point is that she can pretend she's getting knocked up for that extra thrill, but women won't tell you that.)
My last two ONS didn't even mention a condom. I use them EVERY time without exception. While they didn't protest, I could see the slight look of disappointment in their eyes as I unwrapped the condom. They would have so let me go raw, but I wasn't going there.
Am I curious about what raw is like? Hell yeah, but I'm not going to risk trying
I've never tried it without. I haven't had a serious gf, only ONS' and a couple short term relationships or FBs. I agree about the premature thing.BBbardot said:you never tried without condom? you never had a gf?
well for me it doesnt make much difference but for the guy it's a whole other thingn you'd probably finish prematurely ^^
well, it's never too late i guess. Crossing fingers for you.Mike32ct said:I've never tried it without. I haven't had a serious gf, only ONS' and a couple short term relationships or FBs. I agree about the premature thing.
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.

( consider yourself half a virgin cause bareback is really something apparently)
wait wait, you're 35 and condom have really became generally used not so long ago... You must have lost your virginity pretty late no?

I am happy for you. But it only takes one to ruin your whole life.Leporello said:I'm not as naturally paranoid as some of these guys. I've never met a girl who lied about being on the Pill.
Borknagar said:Sure theres condoms, but their not always 100% effective.
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.
