"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.

Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Virgil, the great Roman poet, once said the following phrase: It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.

Women are the illusion. Women are the sheep. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

But how do you overcome fear? Fear to get rejected, fear to approach women or fear to become a farce.

Aristotle thought that whoever lived outside the polis was either a God (superior to men) or a beast (inferior to men). Dare to do something different. Dare to think in a higher aura. Don't fall into the neutral line. Interiorize your superiority and use your abilities to overcome the illusions.

Even i, at times, saw women i would not have talked to. Why? Out of the fear of being a beast (inferior). Have something interesting to say. Not the same old small-talk. Make them think. Make them wonder who YOU are and why YOU aren't just engaging in the same monotonous diatribe other individuals engage in. The human mind is very intrigued by the unknown. By that which it cannot comprehend. It enthralls it into figuring out how to understand it.

Assert yourself as the dominant species. Women depend on men. If you enter the conversation as the sheep, you'll be dismantled by the wolf. Enter the fray as cool as the other side of the pillow, as concise as a sniper bullet and as calm as the ice in your veins.

Speak clearly, NEVER look down or sideways, ALWAYS look up at her eyes. Imagine yourself undressing her just by looking directly at her pupils. When she looks away smiling or giggling, you'll know who the wolf is.
 

"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.

^For once I have nothing at all to add to add to a discussion... Except to say that I agree. Excellent OP.

Fear about the future is Never as great as we imagine it to be beforehand.

I once read a line in a book that said that fear isn't real. Then it described how your fear only seems/feels real when you allow it to. Meaning it is just imaginary. Reading that helped me in certain aspects of my life. You have to rationalize it out. Are you stopping yourself from being outgoing because you are afraid of all the what ifs? But on the otherhand, if realistically something with a terrible outcome might be likely, you still have to trust your gut.

Ignore fear and plow through.
Takes courage combined with IDGAF attitude.
Self confidence is essential.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Most modern men have forgotten their place as the dominant sex. The fact that men fear how a woman might react to something they say or do is extremely pathetic and beta.

Men were never supposed to care what women think. Men are supposed to enjoy women and f*ck women. The emotional response a man feels when a woman acts like a b!tch should be disgust not fear, insecurity or paranoia.

Wake up men.

Fear? Do I fear when I am shopping around? The girl that rejected me is the thing that did not suit or fit me. I will check out something else; if not today, maybe on some other day, and at some other place, I will find the one that suits or fits me.

You can't fear when you are being the best version of yourself.

That's right, fear does Not exist inside your brain when your head is on the right track.
