"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.

Isn't it ironic?

Saw this posted on a girl's fb wall this morning (she's a solid 9). Definitely gave me a great laugh :crackup:


Isn't it ironic?
We ignore the ones who adore us,
adore the ones who ignore us,
love the ones who hurt us,
& hurt the ones that love us


Looks like it was originally written by a dude too, but I don't know how accurate this is. However, my point is not who wrote it, yet who's posting/following/believing it.


Anyway, thought it was hilarious because this is the stupid illogical bullsh!t that men have to [logically] sort through when dealing with women's [non-logical] thought processes. An important point: There is truth to this poem (random facts such as we chase what we can't have, domestic violence is often (75%+) committed towards intimate partners, people break up to "enhance" the life of their loved one, etc.) but I wanted to post it here as a glaringly obvious reminder to remember that the attractive women we are dealing with are highly emotional beings. Take it for what it's worth.
 

"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.

Ironic? of course it is,nobody can deny it.

It's funny actually how the people that should be the target of a message or a line usually scream and brag about that message or even shame others.
Fat women making fun of ugly guys than calling superficial guys who reject them.

You see things like this everytime rich bratty kids with 200$ dollar trousers march on the streets throwing rocks at the police because the government is not gonna raise the money for the third world countries and they accuse the politicians of being hypocrites,egoistic and greedy.
After that they go straight to upload the pictures on facebook and complain about the global warming behind their 22' overpowered screen.

I think it all comes down to value, I don't think it has anything to do with psychology or feminine illogic. Everybody wants to get a good exchange for their own value on the dating market. Someone is more likely to get "unrequited oneitis" for someone that is higher value than they are.

If you're a six and you land an eight, you think you're getting a good deal, and you like what that says about you. You get to brag to your friends and figure maybe you're higher value than you originally thought. She makes you feel good (because she's a prettier girl than you usually get, and you feel better about yourself) so you're more likely to catch feelings (all of this only applies to AFCs, of course, right?).

"Game" tells you that you can raise your value by acting like a d!ck, basically. I think this is a little silly, but I do believe there is something to it. A healthy self esteem will raise your value - to what extent is up to debate. I've always thought that the pickup guru idea of "we're all tens" is pretty much BS. Especially since I don't believe in tens anyway.

I don't know, but I ve been rejected by chicks worse than me in looks, personality, confidence, etc. There was just something I liked about them and they were crazy 20 year olds with need for validation, yet projecting an image of an extremely confident person. Men have their fetishes! So do women, except these fetishes aren't physical in nature.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

The ironic thing is that this is only true when you don't have your life in order.

I think this is only true if you have issues.

Generally speaking, an emotionally sound person, without chemical imbalances, will adore a person that makes them feel good for a variety of reasons.

Well, might as well put 90% of women in the chemical misbalance category than! With pms alone it's more like 100%
 

"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.
