"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Happy Holidays!

I have encountered a few men who enjoy discussing how much money they have in the bank, how much they make, etc. The first time I met this one guy, he casually mentioned within the first 20 minutes that he owned a horse. :nervous:

What are some thoughts on guys who do this?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I have met such men, too. They scream lack of confidence. Actually, the right way to expose them would be a friendly pat on the back, followed by "all right, flop him out and let's see if MY horse is bigger than yours."

I could tell you how much I made last year and how much I have in various accounts. But my parents raised me that it was inappropriate to tell other people how much you make and have. So I've never told anyone what I make or how much I have saved and invested.

Other people though, may not think that way. I know this one guy, and within the first day I talked to him, he told me how much he made and how much he had in his retirement accounts. Was he bragging? Probably, but he had to know I made more than he did, so I don't know. He's just a very extroverted person.

To me, it's inappropriate. But I've known a lot of people who tell you what they make or how much they manage to sock away. A lot of the time it sounds like bragging, so to me that makes it even more inappropriate. But there are a lot of people like that out there, so I'd be interested in hearing their point of view.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

If you don't give a fvck then this won't matter and there will be no comparing between your life and others but some people need that feeling of inferiority to do something in there lives.

everything in this life is based on your perspective and everyone has a different perspective but most people have mass media and social common **** perspective.

until you know who you truly are whatever move those around you will move you too.
