just noticed that....
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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 .....
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 agree.backbreaker said:i can think of alot of people that should have been banned before him.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
