still curious
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.
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.
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.
Im curious, do you ever get called cute?? Do girls you **** actually tell you that you are hot??In2theGame said:yes i am good looking with the body to go with it.
Sounds like the old men were projecting their blindness on to her then??sozzz said:we walked around and couple old men were hating saying is she blind, why is a beautiful girl like her with me. I just laughed it off.
Not to brag but I do have the looks, been hit on by teachers, young to old women. The only thing I dont got are money and muscle.
Yeah they do, not all the time but i get hot or sexy. The majority of the time i just get looks or stares. I went out last night on Thanksgiving eve and i didnt get any compliments but when i walked in a few bars, the heads were turning. A few funny moments actually, A friend and I walked in this bar in midtown, so he went off to the bathroom quickly and i walked over to sit at the bar before ordering a drink. I walk by and some girl "accidentally" brushes her arm on me and her friends smiled at me but i kept it movin because i wasnt attracted to her. by the bar surrounded by 3 guys, this short busty cutie is staring at me hard. I was waiting to make a move but those the 3 guys kept surrounding her like crazy. I asked her friend about her but she told me she had a bf and those guys were her bf's friends. so i left it alone but a bit later she walked by me and i asked about her bf and she kind of hinted she as a bf but not that serious. The 3 guys and her 2 female friends walked over and C-blocked but she kept staring at me still.BabyFaceComplex said:Im curious, do you ever get called cute??

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.
Haha i should but nah i wont go that far. Plus i'm honestly not photogenic i hate to take pictures but ive described myself before. Black hair, green/hazel eyes.. tanned skin (Naturally) 6' tall and lean but muscular build, defined jaw (when im low BF) etc. i do get hard times though. Im not gonna lie.. sometimes i see some girls who are thick (not fat) with thick thighs and a nice round azz and i go for them instead of the petite ones and those are the types that give me trouble or even act like they are too good for me. they smile but kind of like the "thanks for the ego boost" thing and thats it. Sometimes i go for a girl that looks average in my book and they act up. Maybe they think im only after one thing... which i am but also never know how well you'd click with someone.Capt.America said:U should post pics In2thegame no homo
You cant be hot and not photogenic, if you are doing poorly in online dating its not because you arnt photogenic but because women are fussy as **** with photos.In2theGame said:Plus i'm honestly not photogenic

The above is why I roll my eyes when people who claims looks don't matter much cite anecdotes about unattractive guys with beautiful girls.sozzz said:I.E: I took her to a casino and we walked around and couple old men were hating saying is she blind, why is a beautiful girl like her with me. I just laughed it off.
It's all about how you carry yourself. Not to brag but I do have the looks, been hit on by teachers, young to old women.
Yup, this is exactly my case.Mike32ct said:Agree with Yuppaz. You could be a very good looking guy with poor body language or awkward poses.
I dont know about that but i hate to take pictures, in my opinion i dont come out "right" in them but i hardly ever did the online dating thing. The last time i was meeting girls online was from myspace in 2005. I had a lot of girls as friends. I remember i had two girls fighting each other over me in the comment section lol! they were alright though, not super hot or anything. Overall i got a message from a girl who wasnt all that hot but cute and she seemed cool, I was thinking of her as just another girl i was trying to bang but when we met... That meeting turned into a 5 year relationship and fell in love with each other so thats why i said before that you never know who your going to click with, it may just be the girl you never thought. I ended up deleting all the girls and that was it... I never did the online thing again. Now i just go out and meet girls and talk to them.BabyFaceComplex said:You cant be hot and not photogenic, if you are doing poorly in online dating its not because you arnt photogenic but because women are fussy as **** with photos.
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.
