"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

learning must be a hard task?

why the learning process is always painful?

to learn to get girls you must be rejected a lot
to learn to make money you must loose money
to learn to walk you must fall
to learn to have sex you get really nervous
to learn to ride a car the chances are big that you can hit
etc..

Is there another way of learning?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Experience is the best teacher.

To go biblical for a second, God told Adam and Eve not to eat from that tree, but they did anyway. In that case "information wasn't enough", experience can be much more painful.

As for that comment on getting rejected when talking to women, I've talked to a few that I assume I'm on good terms with and sometimes I still get that wide-eyed:eek: "What does he want from me" look.:rolleyes:

LOSE, for the love of G-d. You're right, learning must be hard. Learn to spell.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Everytime you're going to learn, you're going to have to take some risks. You can mitigate the risks by taking things slower but at some point you've got to do whatever it is you want to do.

parachuters for example take ground classes first, and their first jump is with an experience partner.

so if you're worried about the risks, mitigate them, but don't give up altogether.

No, it doesn't have to be a hard task.

This here is the main reason why organized people succeed more than disorganized people.

It's not that they're smarter, but organized people pace themselves better. So if Disorganized Dan has to read a difficult chemistry textbook, he'll throw himself into it until he gets tired and frustrated, then he'll quit and not come back to it.

Organized Ollie on the other hand, will say, "This is a hard textbook.". He'll break his reading into sections, or even paragraphs and work on those subunits until he understands them. Between subunits, he might take breaks to refresh his energy. So his last memory when he gets up is for successfully completing a subunit, and he'll come to it with more energy as he goes on. Plus he'll be tracking his progress with a list or something on paper, so at a glance he can tell that he's actually doing something.

Why don't go f*ck yourself instead of contributing to the f*cking thread?
What if he's foreigner? Did you think about that? Is he obligated to f*cking write correctly, when most american native users write like dumb f*ckers?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

The way i look at it is it's like making money. Thank god it is hard, somewhat painful an not instantaneous.

All I've got going for me is the ability to do these things for the things I want and the majority don't.

Ironically the more you do it, the less painful and the more enjoyable it is.
