just noticed that....
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.
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.
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.
Might that also be part of the "Great Thread Move of 2007" that happened a while back? In any case it was overdue but for LMS (and one LMS only) most of us would have made an exception I think. Ah well, can't honestly say he'll be sorely missed either.KarmaSutra said:I suppose the new regime ...

30 posts per day? Do you have a job?
edit: I just noticed Sparky0000 banned as well. Good riddance, all he posted about was Ukraine. However, I did some reading up on Ukraine yesterday, and it seems their market is on the rise, especially real estate. Since the Orange Scandal in 2004, the economy has been steadily growing, and there is now around $17 Billion of foreign investments in Ukraine. Some people think it's still instable because of the difference between rich and poor, and the corruption, but real estate is the most secure of forms of investing there. I'm personally considering buying an apartment in Yalta, which is a crowded tourist area, right by the Black sea. So, even though Sparky0000 sounded like a broken recorder, there was some truth to his incessant cries of "Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine!" When most people think of Ukraine they think Soviets or a cold gloomy place with corruption and crime. It's not so bad though. The Euro beat the US dollar some time ago, and who knows if the hryvnia will also surpass the dollar some time in the future. One thing is certain - the future of world economic growth is not in the United States.

More building up, less tearing down, yeah. I'd like to also see more emphasis on fact identified as fact and opinion as opinion but that's probably asking too much.Jariel said:We need more positivity and motivation .....
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I agree.backbreaker said:i can think of alot of people that should have been banned before him.
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.
