Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
It is small waist to hip ratios (that is, waist at 70% of hips) that generally indicates fitness. Why do you think otherwise? And "Just because" is not a good answer.Originally posted by Tazman
I don't think a "small waist" on a woman is necessarily an indicator of good health.
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.
glad someone pointed it out, amidst the cries of "i'd fcuk her" and "no i wouldn't fcuk her"Originally posted by Francisco d'Anconia
The truth of the matter is that we are talking about people (men included) that over indulge. They don't need to be rail thin but truly healthy.
its sooo easy to call someone ignorant :crackup:Originally posted by Socialreject
Francisco d'Anconia: So you think beauty = value?
Can't say i agree. I hate it when someone worships beauty. Not cause i'm ugly, or date ugly chicks, but simply because it's ignorant. Personally i don't give a damn how someone looks (5-6-7-8 WHATEVER) aslong as i'm attrackted to them that will suffice. I have to say i dislike fat chicks BUT i like some meat. I dislike skinny atleast asmuch as i dislike fat. Marilyn Monroe shapes are kind of my ideal in a woman.
True, but having a gut is seldom if ever the sign of a healthy person.Originally posted by Tazman

You're comparing something that can be achieved through healthy, active lifestyle and exercise to something that can only be achieved through either extremely lucky genetics or expensive cosmetic surgery? Get over yourself. Fat is fat, and fat is unattractive.Originally posted by SeldomSeen
by who's standard should she be 120lbs? YOurs? SOme magazine? American society?
Every guy should look like Brad Pitt too. I wonder how many guys on the forum look like Brad Pitt, have chiseled abs, well trimmed, nice tanned etc. I doubt many because they wouldnt be on this site talking about their problems finding women.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yeah, it done mostly when someone is so self indulged in being right that any other opinion isn't easily understood or respected. It obviously can't be a lacking on their part so it must be ignorance of the other person.Originally posted by Egoist
