Five stars from me.
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.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
This part is worth emphasising.Originally posted by seloifter
What did you ever get in return for being overly helpful to a girl? A smile? A hug? And how *excited* were you to get it? Pretty damn happy, right?
USE THIS! Make women do things for YOU! Ask THEM to go pick something up from McDonald's for you, make THEM carry your ****. ---Just remember not to do this unless you've already created at least SOME interest beforehand, otherwise they'll just get irritated with you and think you're a lazy jerk ---. And when they're done serving you, reward them with some tiny insignificant thing, and see how much they appreciate it!
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.
Women will like doing favors for you because people need to be needed.I used to think that doing favours for people earned you big points. I'm sure that back in your AFC days you did, too.
Fact is, the opposite is true. Getting someone to do favours for you is the best way to establish a permanent pattern (and a good way to keep a woman interested).
I'm sure there's a theory out there that makes some sort of sense... whether it's a case of her rationalising her own behaviour or of submissive behaviour being a turn-off or whatever. The important part is that I've had consistently good results getting girls to do favours for me, and I've had consistently bad results when I've done favours for them.
And when you think about it, that's really not a bad deal at all.
Undoubtedly true, as a principle of general human interaction.Originally posted by Acrylonitrile

Women will not like you doing favors for them because people do not like to feel needy.
It so happens that I can think of plenty of other ways to demonstrate value (that is, "that you have something to offer"). After a quick glance through the archives, some of them will suggest themselves to you.
I believe that the appropriate way to handle things is to create an effective balance between the asking and giving of favors. Asking for excessive favors makes one a burden--giving excessive favors makes the recipient feel needy. Therefore it is important to both give and receive -- by receiving you let a woman know she is needed, and by giving you let her know that you have something to offer in return.
Well, of course you're not. I am. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying, though!

I agree. Thinking a girl is interested in me has always tended to make me interested or more interested in them. But now that I am no longer AFC, I know it is my role as a man to lead. And when I'm interested in a girl who acts into me NOW, I go for the # close.Originally posted by seloifter
-"I think she likes me!!" Remember thinking that? When a girl, in whom you had NO interest in whatsoever, started to show interest, suddenly your mind burst with wonder. Just because you THOUGTH SHE LIKED YOU, YOU STARTED TO LIKE HER!
I have had this happen to me countless times. About 95% of the girls that I had crushes on, I only had crushes on them because I thought they had crushes on me in the first place! However, the most important thing is that I THOUGHT they had crushes on me. I wasn't SURE. And this drove me crazy. I was suddenly incredibly interested in her, and tried my hardest to make her like me. Already I was her puppet.
USE THIS! Make women think "He's interested in me!" and then make them think twice "or is he....?" by the time they're wondering "or is he?", they've already started to be interested in you. However, this interest will fade the MOMENT that they are CERTAIN you are interested in them -- unless you play your cards right. Timing is everything, mistery is even more.
It's a huge hint, but there's still an element of self-imposed doubt. I can tell you that as someone who's spoken to his female friends on this very topic.Originally posted by Ofus
Wouldn't you say that a girl knows for certain you are interested, once you get her #?
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.
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.
