"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you see a girl around somewhere every now and then you find attractive/cute and would like to approach and you spend most of your spare time thinking about how much you would like to/could do it.

Then when you see her again either all the interest seems to drain away or your too nervous to do anything about it
 

"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.

It is common. It's part of oneitis.

A better place, a better time.
This used to happen to me. I hated it.

Just make yourself do it. You'll feel better about yourself even if it goes really bad. Don't approach trying to get into her pants, just try to make a new friend. Be happy and upbeat and eject quickly.

You can do it man, give it a shot.

I worked as a dishwasher once and got constant eyes from the waitresses. One of them I was dead-set on asking out...

Well, as Nutz said, I developed an acute sense of one-itis. Not a huge crush - but I thought about her exclusively enough that it made it impossible to approach. To this day I wonder how awesome t1tty fvcking her could have been.

It's all part of the learning process eh?

I've found it's a million times easier to get numbers and dates off girls you have just met instead of ones that float around in your head all day.

Peace

Too true. Oneitis really sucks. But I beleive its something we all encounter at least once in our lives, and then we learn from it and dont allow it to happen again. (my oneitis wasted over a year of my life!!!!)
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Si Senor!

It's called Oneitis. You're gonna get your feelings hurt. You should take action early. Like I say, strike while the iron's hot!:up:

Yup cause you know you will probably fail so your confidence is low and you convince yourself you dont want her anymore... very common male reality..

youve hit the nail on the head i think...what do you mean my common male reality though?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

its the reality of most modern men. having to compete with many men for overly picky women who a quick to reject takes its toll on male confidence
