or am I screwed
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 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.
I know a guy who got through life with women paying him to get by. Street smart as fvck. They do leave once they realise what's happening, but he always seems to find another one. :crackup: That's what millions of women do to men and no one bats an eyelid.VikingKing said:If you are smart about it ( I mean smart subjectively in this context).
I promise you if your game is on really good, you can be a drug addicted, piece of sh!t, and you can get a good woman to not only slob your nob, but pay you rent.
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.
Pretty much this. But remember girls like that get bored just as fast and find a new guy to obsess over. BPD girls are like that too, keep that in mind.Die Hard said:It's not typical...unless you are very high value or she has very low self esteem.
That's what I've been thinking, but I'm pretty high value for a black guy.GS750 said:Pretty much this. But remember girls like that get bored just as fast and find a new guy to obsess over. BPD girls are like that too, keep that in mind.
lol. What does that mean??!Dhoulmagus said:That's what I've been thinking, but I'm pretty high value for a black guy.
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.
THIS X1000000Meisterman said:It's not necessarily uncommon in my experience. HOWEVER, I find the more obsessed about you they are to begin with, and the faster they pursue it, the more likely they are to become UNINTERESTED just as quickly, and also more likely to fall into the "BPD" category. But they won't leave you until they know they have you. And then once you give them the validation that you like them back as much as they like you, they will drop you.
Basically, the faster the train rides the tracks, the quicker the whole thing will eventually derail.
Sometimes women have immediate high levels of attraction for you. Understand that this is NOT something she can control. Heck, no one can really control attraction, it's either there or it's not.Dhoulmagus said:What do I do
Ya I made this mistake with the last girl after she asked to be exclusive. I felt like I had to act different because. Also, we have had sex too.RangerMIke said:Sometimes women have immediate high levels of attraction for you. Understand that this is NOT something she can control.

When they start like this the truth of the matter is it can only go down. Just do not expect this to last. As she gets to know you better, this will drop. You should not expect this to last unless you continue to deliver what she needs.
All you can do is enjoy it while it lasts and continue to display male strength qualities and don't lose your center. Remember she is attracted to you because of how you are NOW, when you get into relationships she will attempt to change you.... DON'T let her. Women are emotional and she might FEEL you need to change, but deep down inside she is attracted to you the way you are.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
