My condolences, just heard this on the news here in NY at 6:21 pm, June 25th, 2009.
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.
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.
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.
For fvcks sake man! Show some respect!!!Wiesman44 said:Dear Michael:
If only I could have spent one more endless night in your arms.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I'm glad to know that you wouldn't kick a television superstar out of bed, I'm sure it's something you confront on a regular basis, whether to "hit" a celbrity or not. But I am relieved that you WOULD hit one of the most famous sex symbols of all time, if you absolutely had to.piranha45 said:I dunno about that farrah fawcett, maybe its something you had to live through to understand, but im not impressed with this:

im not saying i wouldnt hit that, but jesus there were way better shots of better women than that, back then.

Yeah, he was defintely a weird dude. The mask, glove, and the intense plastic surgery(which is actually debateable, supposedly it was rumored that he had some kind of disease that turns the skin white, that is prone to black people) was bit strange, but as far as the child molestation accusations, I can't say he did or didn't do it. I wasn't there, so I'm not going to point fingers. Anyhow, even though I never got into his music(except "Black or White", very catchy tune), I must say he was an incredible artist with a tremendous amount of talent. Awesome stage presence. And don't forget guys, regardless of his weird tendencies and the plastic surgery that made him look scary, the guy did pull Lisa-Marie Presley, a fine piece of ass. More proof that hot women will over-look a lot of things with men. Yeah, the guy was classified as "King of Pop", but she could've latched onto another guy almost equally as popular or wealthy, who on top of it was normal.DJDamage said:He was a great performer in the 80's but he was also a messed up and disturbed human being.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
