I'm in HS and i'm considered the jerk with ****y and funny, but everyone feels like they can walk all over me and treat me hella bad especially the ladies. I'm so sick of the lack of respect and no one listening to me. HELP!!
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
In other words, you're only a self-imposed jerk. Labels, nicknames, and reputation is all created by the people around you.I'm in HS and i'm considered the jerk with ****y and funny,
Are you sure you didn't want to write the word "joke" instead of "jerk"?but everyone feels like they can walk all over me and treat me hella bad especially the ladies.
Respect is earned, not commanded. Also, people have difficulty changing their opinions of people they know well. Getting them to change their mind about who and what you are is an almost impossible task. But don't worry, it's only high school. Most of what you're used to when it comes to socializing and popularity goes out the door after you graduate.I'm so sick of the lack of respect and no one listening to me. HELP!!

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.
What?? Did you say something??Rint said:...I'm so sick of the lack of respect and no one listening to me. HELP!!
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.
That is because you are a fvcking b*tch.Rint said:I'm in HS and i'm considered the jerk with ****y and funny, but everyone feels like they can walk all over me and treat me hella bad especially the ladies. I'm so sick of the lack of respect and no one listening to me. HELP!!
Yeah I'm sure.Rint said:Yea dude i'm 15 so i dont think chicks are cool with ****ing yet.
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.
