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.
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.
They were doing it for fun, but my point is, the more people do this kind of crazy stuff, the more suspicious people will be about someone approaching them on the street.MisterMcGee said:Uh they're joke videos?
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.
Well, there is more to being a PUA than what Mystery shows the general public on his TV shows.WC2 said:Correct, these guys give PUAs a bad name.
And why the f*ck not? I've found that most PUAs belong in a toolshed with the rest of boneheads who are losers and have always been losers. They think that just because they can formulate some sh!tty routine or script and pickup a few women, they are cool.
They rarely understand why women really never liked them in the first place and attempt to put on some disguise to temporarily attract different women to them.
When it truly hits these guys hard is when they run out of material and the women see who they truly are.
I'd rather go around flipping off women than running my PUA script on all of them. Takes some bigger balls too.
They are not PUA's. On the first video there is a childish jerk , and in the second video is Jonathan Finn with his friend. Finn is a comedian.pua1989 said:hahaha these videos are great. first of all who cares if "pua" get publicized...it already has with that show on vh1....deal with it. plus these guys could probably pull pretty much any girl they want. they dont give a s h i t and neither should you
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.
