"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.

Not only is she short as hell, but that pic is so airbrushed and she has tons of makeup on. Hollywood is notorious for making average girls look hot. You want to see what Eva looks like without all that crap? Here ya go. 6 at best. AT BEST! I see better looking girls walking around the mall every day, without the airbrushing and makeup.

The girl you have rated an 8 is imo a solid 9.
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

And lol at that the guy rating that asian chick as a 7. Yea OK. I get what you're doing: "I'm unaffected by looks, I'm alpha, I've had much better" Please mate grow up...if a girl is hot she's hot, there's no shame in admitting it. For example, I told this HB9 (im my opinion)that I met last night that she was beautiful....did it work against me? No. I got to 3rd base after knowing her for like 3 hours....although I am a sexy bastard with a British accent!!
Anyway, everyone is different. If we all had the same tastes and interests this world would be boring.
The whole concept behind this thread makes me sick though. So why am I posting in it?
Interesting.
The thing is that there are ALOT more girls who are normal/goodlooking than girls who are ugly. So in order to seperate those girls, you have to be able to put them into more categories (numbers). the way your scale goes, puts almost all normal/cute girls into 6 or 7 category, even though they differ alot regarding attractiveness.
My scale is strict. When a girl is ugly, she's ugly. So it's easier to put ugly girls into the same category than the betterlooking ones..
If i hook up with what I consider an HB4, I don't get embarresed about that. It's acceptable. She's ok-looking, maybe even somewhat cute. But there are so many girls that are betterlooking and there has to be ways to seperate them aswell, instead of calling them all HB7's. My HB4's will be rated by some friends as HB7's. Then a girl that is hell of a lot prettier comes along, where do you put her?? You only have 2 more categories left..(No one is a 10. There is no such thing as perfection)
Your scale is somewhat flawed. Traditionally, any girl who is bad-looking is supposed to rank below 5. A five is someone who is kinda neutral-looking. Therefore, if you tell us you are dating a UG4, we are right in laughing at you.
Seven is cute. Six is somewhere in-between cute and neutral. 6-7 is about average in most populations of young girls. (If you had a school where lots of fat girls went, then the average would be lower. Conversely, a place with lots of attractive people would have a higher average.)
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
This only applies under the assumption that there are just as many ugly/unattractive girls as there are normal/cute/goodlooking girls. This is just not correct. Most girls out there are normal looking, and there are alot of cute/pretty girls around. It's more seldom that you see a really really ugly girl, than when you see a pretty, sexy girl. Atleast in Scandinavia, where I live this is true. I know that in some other countries there are many badlooking girls, so this is affected by where you live.Obsidian said:Your scale is somewhat flawed.

My last girlfriend was an HB7. I bet atleast 80% of the guys on this forum would rate her a 9... You are too "nice" with your grading.
There may or may not be a normal distribution, but five is definitely not the center of the bell curve. As you said, there are more 9s and 10s than there are 1s and 2s.

Don't know.
I'd honestly rank most celebrity girls in the 6-7 range unless they're like really hot. To me, one of the most important things when ranking a girl is her face. Like if she's got a cute face, good personality, but doesn't really have much of an ass or anything, I'd still screw her. But if she's not that good looking and does have those features though, I'd have to decide.

As for your scale Elstud, all the girls there rate the same imo. 5 and 6 look exactly alike, 8 and 9 look alike and 7 is forbidden =P
"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.
See what I mean, different people have different taste. That's how I rank girls. My ideal women is probably either a blonde or brunette girl who's thin, has a cute face, a decent ass and nice feet. Though if she's chubby, but she's still got a nice body and a nice face, I can go for that(Like this one girl I liked named Marissa).Obsidian said:
Well that's good. Sometimes a guy will be like "what about this chick I just met here's her picture" and to me, that's just f'ed up.Alkali said:
I went back and re-read your post. Even though it's superficial, I have to admit it was pretty damn funny.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
