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.
This quote has been abused and changed to fit people agenda for so long and its a big fat lie as they leave out the part "for the love of" part of the sentence; so it makes money look like a really bad thing. It is all a bunch of complete BS.
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.
Much of the wisdom and stories are timeless and applicable to any era. They also "knew about women", man was warned not to be stupid and weak behind women.
True too. The old books are a good read whether you are religious or not. You can still find good things to learn from them.
yeah I suspect a lot of people who use (the truncated version) are jealous of those that have money.
Yep, indeed.
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.
'I don't like that bar its full of stuck up people' = Full of attractive people who I believe have no chance with - out of my league'.
Actually the ones that are most flashy/the worst ones in my experience are the ones that are not really rich, but "wanna-be-rich"; so they buy the stupid Rolex, Cartier (or whatever), expensive clothes, cars etc on credit, (and brag about it), because they think that they have to behave like that because that is the image that society sells them, (Because that is how wealthy people behave, right?).
Amen to that. It is very true.
At least somebody gets it
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
