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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

That's kinda what I'm getting at. I'm gonna ignore the whole incest thing...Maxtro said:There is an interesting question. Do guys who have sisters, do better with girls?

I think that just answers your question right there Maxtrowolf116 said:I have two sisters and fail with the ladiez.
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.

LOL have you not learned anything or haven't you? Because I hope you know you contradicted yourself.jahidi said:I only have a 15yo sister so I obviously haven't learned anything from living with her, other than that I fully understand the saying "treat women like your little sister" and have done this with success.
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.
I never directly learned anything from her about women because she is several years younger. I was figuring things out on my own before she had reached puberty.Maxtro said:LOL have you not learned anything or haven't you? Because I hope you know you contradicted yourself.
The only thing I learned was that a house full of women is hell if you're the only male there. Sure my dad was around, but he worked during the day leaving me to hear my sister and mom not being able to agree on anything other than that the house had some kind of undetectible smell. If any of you ever get married, never let your wife or little girl think they run anything because you will have absolutely no peace.Maxtro said:Joking aside. If I had a sister it may have been very helpful for me. It could have helped me to learn how girls are, the way they work and think. Cause right now I basically don't have a clue about girls.
