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.
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.
for getting chicks? is it because the other guys will get jelous and turn their back against youGloriouslyInsane said:For getting chicks i disagree,for making other males jealous i agree![]()
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
that's soo true..theres nothing more annoying than a group of guys arguing because they all want to go to the place THEY want to go for the night,and not opening up to any other suggestions! :cuss:brucevangeorge said:If you think that you are the so-called self-proclaimed Alpha.. chances are that you aren't.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
True, and wouldn't you think that the problem with most guys is that they worry about social status way more than appealing to women? It's as if just because they're the leader of a bunch of cavemen that women will flock to them. It's crazy what guys will do to define themselves.brucevangeorge said:If you think that you are the so-called self-proclaimed Alpha.. chances are that you aren't.
Very good point. We've all seen it in all areas (even in this forum) the higher you go beyond the masses, the more of a target you become. There's always someone somewhere wanting to knock you down a peg and to climb over you. Not saying that it's right or wrong, it's just the way that it is.Noob said:only bad thing about an alpha male is that they maY GET INTO FIGHTS WITH OTHER ALPHA MALES, OR SOMETHING MORE COMMON PEOPLE IN YOUR GROUP WILL TRY AND DISRESPECT YOU, AND CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE POSITION ( THEY DO IT SUBCONSIOUSLY) AND YOU RISK LOSING YOUR POULARITY AND ALSO BEING TRAMPELLED ON... THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AND IM NOT EXACTLY THE BIGGEST GUY OR THE MOST VIOLENT, AND NOW I AM IN A BAD POSITION WITH GUYS DISRESPECTING ME FROM ALL ANGLES...
