"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Interesting article on Masculinity preference when choosing men

"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.

at least it somewhat explains why the guys in Scandinavia look like total fairies.

I can't help but notice this only studies how guys LOOK, not how they ACT. So girls find the feminine pretty boys attractive, no surprise there. But when it comes to research like this, they're not getting the whole picture because with women, attraction is so related to BEHAVIOR, not just appearance.

It is interesting when they talk about how higher testosterone males are more likely to cheat and less likely to stick around to help raise the baby. This research centered on women in their early to mid twenties. Usually women don't figure this out until a little later in life. Maybe they're getting smarter while the men are getting dumber?

Near the end of the article it goes on to say the females deemed attractive by most standards want it all. Looks, wealth, caring, family man, etc... (what a surprise! of course what you want and what you get are 2 different things usually!)

Another feminist article trying to put down masculinity. I just laughed when she started bleating: Women are repelled by high testosterone men, as they are seen as more aggressive, philandering, unsympathetic and domineering.

It's a ridiculous test to do as well, as there have been few control variables. Who are the people doing these questionnaires? I'm guessing most of them are fat, unattractive, unfeminine or just average women. Seriously, how many hot feminine girls do you know who fill out questionnaires and spend a lot of time on the internet. They're all too busy going out with the gals, socialising to be spending time on the computer. So it's pretty unconclusive for finding the women WE want to attract. Hell I don't care if some fat computer geek girl finds feminine men more attractive, I'm not going for her.

The author is just trying to push feminist ideas, by giving the impression of 'changing times'.

I don't see how this article is feminist. However, i do think it is prime proof on how our environment and experiences shape what we consider attractive. My theory is that in the countries that are unhealthy only the strong males survive, thus causing women to be attracted to them naturally because most of them are more powerful and on top.

Its the same how obese America is now fixated on super skinny models. Your mind develops and controls what is attractive by what is surviving and what is the most powerful.
