What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl, or when youve never talked to the girl before? For example how could you tell a girl is interested if shes sitting or standing away from you?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
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.

It is in the way a woman looks at you. It’s not so much about that she scans you or that her eyes dilate as is often mentioned. It is in the way that she looks at you and her eyes are just part of it. It is hard to explain exactly and you’ll just have to figure it out with experience.HandyAndy said:What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl, or when youve never talked to the girl before?

She keeps the conversation going. i.e. no one worded-responses, and if she does, she asks you a question or anything that's on her mind to keep the convo going. She might be smiling also.HandyAndy said:What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl
That's easy...she looks at you. See it from the corner of your eye. If you're sitting and talking to somebody, and she's right there sitting also, she will look at you in the face and pay attention to what you're saying, even if you're not talking directly to her.or when youve never talked to the girl before?

Really? I always just kind of expected that.smooth guy said:She keeps the conversation going. i.e. no one worded-responses, and if she does, she asks you a question or anything that's on her mind to keep the convo going. She might be smiling also.
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.
This kinda got me thinking. Can I get some feedback on this?tsmith2334 said:Really? I always just kind of expected that.
When I'm out with a girl, like eating at a restaurant, she almost always seems to want to keep the conversation going, give detailed answers, ask questions, etc.
I always just figured it was just them being courteous and not wanting a boring conversation. Is it really a sign of interest?
You sound older than me (since you've mentioned a date at a restaurant), so I can't tell based on experience I had with an older girl, because I haven't. I was referring to teen girls since HandyAndy is nearly my age.tsmith2334 said:Really? I always just kind of expected that.

Great response. Hopefully what you're saying is true, it sounds on the money.smooth guy said:You sound older than me (since you've mentioned a date at a restaurant), so I can't tell based on experience I had with an older girl, because I haven't.

What you're saying about them being courteous and not wanting any awkward silences at the date has a point, but I think there's a difference on the body language and the tone of her voice. I mean, you can tell if somebody is having a conversation with you just to avoid any silences or because they WANT TO. If she asks you questions about yourself and seems to be interested in your responses, I'd say that's a sign. If it's a good conversation and not a forced one, that's also a good sign.
But if she's already on a date with you at a restaurant, I think the interest is already there![]()
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.
