"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

No, this isn't a suicide letter (is for my forum account though).

In 24 hours I'll change the e-mail associated to this account to a temporary self-destructing e-mail, I'll also change my password to a random string of symbols I'll never remember. I'll basically brick my account, a mod might also ban me just to be sure, you have my consent.

So why? This place isn't what it used to be and I should never return here, it's a waste of time. I needed this place as a crutch a few years back, but I can stand on my own now. I can't provide anything that hasn't been regurgitated a billion times over here, so I don't really have a reason to stay.

I'll make a poll, although I'll still leave regardless of results.

Have fun.. or whatever you call this.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I really benefited from some of your posts and your knowledge so thank you man.
Never hold up travelers. Have a nice journey Grewd and take care.
Peace, Polysix

PS: I´d vote for Gay in your poll, but you´ve unfortunately missed the opportunity.
Just kidding! :p
Farewell bro!

"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.

Grewd, you have been a good poster that I can recall. Why not just take a break from SS for a few months (or longer), then come back? I did that for about 2 x years at one point. Why these attention seeking dramatics?

Good luck to you whatever you decide. I think your perspective has value & worth. You keep it real and you have success that lots of the guys here (besides the obvious attention seekers) aspire to.

But I can see the one dimensional ness as well.

Just my 2 cents. Cheers
 

"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.

I propose a new rule for the mods. If a guy comes here announcing that they are leaving, the mods sort of, uh, well....'grease the doorway' for him, if you know what I mean. Permanently.

Gotta give him credit. He hasn't been back since his announcement.

IMO, this site is light-years ahead of where it was 10 years or so ago when many were idolizing Mystery and a few people like myself that called it "clown game" we're attacked.

I've been in a couple of LTR's over the last several years and was inactive here, but now lurk/post on occasion to keep my game sharp.

So, how long did the hiatus last?

Why did you come back etc?
 

"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.

About a month.

Came back to get more likes, waste some time and maybe give someone some useful information. I think I'll significantly reduce my activity on this forum again, might just even forget it. I don't really gain anything on this.

In fairness, Richard has become a more interesting read than you.

It's interesting how many of you have become so reactionary and well downright catty towards him.

I'd go for a beer with @RichardTheFrog , over you.
Its okay bro afterwards u two can go bang some prostitutes together then he will give u ride in his lambo


But honestly, i know im not posting anything interesting. I either ask for advice or post a joke. Im fine with this.

Btw your friend Richard was the one who started insulting everyone first so why r u defending this evil guy (not like i care, but that prob means u like to drink beer with criminals AND keyboard warriors)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
