"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Let's take a poll on this.

If u meet a girl and u think u should call the girl the next day - reply "next day"

If u think u should wait a couple days or more, reply "wait"

Seems like i got 50/50 responses when i asked bout my train experience. Some guys say do wat u want if u wanna call u should call. Other say never call the next day, wait at least 3 days or whatver. I wanna see what the general consensus is here.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I guess it depends on what kind of connection you have with the girl. If its a random girl whose number you got, wait around 3 days. But, if I have sex with the girl, I usually call the next day. If you wait 3 days, they will get the idea that it was just a one night stand.

This is true. Hard and steadfast rules are limiting. Acting on the amount of interest coupled with the actual encounter should be the deciding factor of any next steps.
 

"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.

Thank you! I hate when i see people giving adivce here sayin ohhh u did the wrong thing u dont call her the next day bla bla bla. With the girls ive dated in my life, they never seemed to care. If they like u they dont care bout that sh*t. If they like and they do care bout that - aren't they not worth it? Unless ur just talkin bout sex, which im sure many on here would like. But me im more into LTr's. Not to say i wouldnt go for a one night stand, but i dont look for that.

the higher the interest level, the longer you can wait. I aim for 2 days myself. Sometimes, I'll send a text on the day i get the number or the following day. 3 days or more has been played out in my opinion. Only time it might be useful is if she was REALLY into you and you wanted to keep her guessing.

The idea of waiting so long to pull the trigger on making a phone call really has nothing to do with women at all. It has everything to do with where you are with them. If you're deperate and needy, it's best to wait. If you're batting them off with a stick, then you can call her within an hour and it wouldn't matter. Each and every guy has to determine this for himself, and most of us can figure it out in under 30 seconds.

Wrong.

The question you need to ask yourself is this: If this girl has such a high interest in me then why wait? or looking on it from another point: Why call right away? The answer is that there is no difference between the two points. If you have a tight game and know how to create strong interest, know how to gauage high interest and recognised high interest then it doesn't really matter if you call her the next day or 5 days down the road. Its when she fits into your busy schedule with the other girls you are seeing, is when you know you are doing it right. Do you really think that a simple thing of a calling a few days apart will really change the perception she already has of you?? One small thing such as a phone call is not the problem but your overall game could be it.

Here is an extreme example but suits my point: If Brat Pitt would take down a girls number and then call her 3 years down the road for a date do you really think she will reject him? No! due to extreme level of high interest and her Hollywood fantasy, she is most likely to still accept a date with him. Although Hollywood stars live in a different world, you get the picture.

"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.

Say 'I'll call you soon' and then you can take 1-3 days. You don't owe them an excuse. Obviously like the others, interest plays a part. Can't look too eager but you also can't let it get away.
Call them up 1-3 days later, 5 min conversation and ask them out on a date for 3-5 days later (call em Tues, ask for a date for Saturday.) Keeps you in their heads if they say yes and you can do whatever until then. If they say no, hang up, wait another 1-3 days and try again. Three strikes and you are out.
