"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Is it normal to root for the bad guys while watching tv shows?

Currently watching narcos mexico, an example among the many, I find myself liking the "bad guys" a lot and finding the "good guys" kinda annoying.

It happened the same while watching Heat despite I didnt have any dislike toward Al Pacinos character.
 

"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.

The bad guys tend to be more human and relatable. I find them to be more interesting and I do at times root for em

I think the master, in the latest Doctor Who, (an Indian guy is portraying him) is too goofy to feel threatening. The master is one of the most terrible villians in the Doctor Who franchise. Like a crafty darth vader.
 

"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.

yeah because the heroes tend to have plot armor and a dumb story line. They expect you to root for the good guy because he’s the good guy “derp”’. Game of Thrones is a good example of where they played the bad guys so bad that I was glad they died….except season 8

I generally root for the bad guys in pro wrestling. Usually it seems like the good guys have been washed clean of all character traits and just pander to the audience. Even worse, sometimes I feel like I'm being told I'm supposed to root for the good guy, which I resent. And if they're the type that wins all the time, they can be boring because it's so predictable.

The “bad guys” are the guys who get it. Society doesn’t want you to get it so they vilify such people to brainwash you to be a beta
