The paperback is like 450 pages, so the audio version must be nothing compared. Get the paperback and do the excercises.Mindgamez said:NDJ it's 1h30 long![]()
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.

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.
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.
Hey man. That girl sucks for taking a stab at you like that, but there's always a kernel of truth in every criticism that really hurts. It seems like this one stung.Mindgamez said:Frizzy hair HB7 told me during class : Hey, are you going to be mature someday? My friends behind me said : Ohhhh! Ouch... Their remark kind of threw me off track. I couldn't smile. I forced it and said : Well, if you mean to stop teasing you well, I won't. I thought about it and she's not my type. She's too serious, has very low patience and gets annoyed or mad easily.
Cheers. That helped me.LearningSlowly said:Hey man. That girl sucks for taking a stab at you like that, but there's always a kernel of truth in every criticism that really hurts. It seems like this one stung.
Maturity comes from directness about your feeling. You're touching girls, which is great, and exactly what you should be practicing, but it's coming from this kindergarten-crush sort of zone. You tease them, and are coming from a sexual place, but you refuse to allow your sexuality through, and are therefore incongruent. Your teasing, which seems to be childish, and have no adult sexuality to it, becomes annoying.
I hope that helps some.
It's not easy to become more sexual with girls you already know, you'll only mess it up. Cold approach to get some new girls to practice with, and be ready to take advantage of a new school next year.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
shiit That's what it must be. Girl is showing great attraction then she's like "oh i gotta listen to my music now" and just sticks in her head phones. I should have said something, but instead i look at her stupidly and walk away. definitely a **** test..Jack Wealthy said:Nearly every behaviour you mentioned and questioned was a **** test. Examples: "she tried to isolate me at times and she wanted me to take the subway with her and go to her direction. We were going different directions... I'm not that needy and she's not pretty."
You passed. You did what you want.
"I patted her shoulder, said hi. She quickly looked at me, made a 0.3 second eye contact, and then she continued talking to her friend. Claudia never does that. I think she did the same some days ago. She could at least say hi politely, but she just ignored me completely. I just walked off."
You failed. You should have cut in. If you think it is rude, SAY SOMETHING.
Literally this exact thing happened to me with this chick called HBHot last week. I said "HEY! HEY! Are you ignoring me?" (It was a question but I didn't curl my sentence up at all) She said no. I said "Because you're f*cking **** at it." She laughed.
Notice how I passed? I did what I wanted to do, despite her reaction. Unless it is a severe negative reaction then she wants you. Assume attraction.
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.
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.
