I.A.F.Y.B.
Master Don Juan
Last Man Standing, if you are reading my post I want to say that I am finally getting what your saying. I need more knowledge though before its too late.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
And this is the beginning of your end!!!!I.A.F.Y.B. said:Indeed I am! But, sadly. I'm starting to fall in love with my ho' :nervous:
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.
I didn't think he'd take the bait. Guess I was wrong. Nice one!I.A.F.Y.B. said:Then, shall the light shine upon my clouded mind before it gets too dark to see!!! For it is I that looks for a woman!
Then to save yourself you shall seek her feminine nature, as naturally designed!!!!!I.A.F.Y.B. said:Then, shall the light shine upon my clouded mind before it gets too dark to see!!! For it is I that looks for a woman!
It is simple!! Men and women were created to be with one another and NOT separate - can we create offspring otherwise??? Would you/we exist otherwise?? When you have the maximum of "two" in the creative/upbringing process then you must have one that dominates!!! This is elementary!! There is NOT a majority between "two" parties - so to create cohesion only one can dominate!!! Elementary!!I.A.F.Y.B. said:This is gonna take sometime reading and understanding but, none the less I will repost my new found wisdom.

just asking, what does "bump" mean and why do people post it?bump
Well she has been around the block before me.... But, she acts how a woman should. She cooks me food, she follows my lead, takes care of me when I'm sick, drunk or hurt, gives me back rubs and ect. She is submissive to me of how a woman should be explained in "The Natural Order Of Things." But, the fact she has had multiple sex partners bugs me a little. (They weren't random guys or ONS's.) To me her IL is high and we have a good relationship. I am still young and have plenty of more girls to meet and qualify for myself. She is not my first gf but not the last. I just need to look at her actions and dig deep into myself and figure out what it is I really want.Obsidian said:Just read his damn article, IAFYB. It's not that hard to understand.
Btw, how horish is your ho? It's probably not good to fall in love with her.
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.
Very good point and advice. It seems genuine but, I will always protect my heart if something feels astray.Last Man Standing said:Iafyb, yes, you must know what you want, but more importantly is to know what she wants - is her submissiveness an "act" because she wants something from you, or is it genuine affection? This is very important to know because many guys here are in LTRs and think their girl has genuine affection for them but then suddenly she gets cold and leaves, and the guy is dumbfounded why she grew distant. The reason is that there is always another guy in the picture - and then the guy feels betrayed, and rightfully so!! Know the intentions of the person who you are with!! Don't ask her - just observe her intently!!

ValleyDJing said:LMS...you remind me of the character in Tucker Max's book, "Slingblade".
I'm trying to figure out where you stand. You are quick to label women hors and whatnot, but I have never really heard what defines a women as a hor. What makes a hor? A non-virgin? A chick who has had sex with under 5 men? Under 10? What?
DevanE said:LMS...I have been trying to free myself from the hor Matrix as well but considering my dashing looks and charm, it seems that I am getting "sucked" back into it repeatedly, consistently and more aggressively than ever. My circuits keep being overridden and it looks as if the hor matrix gets stronger every time I try to decrypt myself from it and terminate the sequence. What do I do because I might just give up and accept the Matrix for what it is and be lost in the abyss of perpetual blindness. Save me LMS !!!!! SAAAAAAAAAAAAVEE MEEEEEE!!!!!! :woo:
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
