"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Have any of you guys noticed this over the last couple of days? Since New Years I've been approached more by women both when I'm out and about and while I am online. They aren't just saying "hi" either, they are truly approaching with a purpose. Even women that had slipped off my radar months ago are coming out of the woodwork. What gives?

Do you guys think that women have chosen to be more aggressive as their New Year's resolution? Has Oprah or "The View" plugged this idea into their heads?

Just Curious
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

I'd put it down to them having no-one over the holiday period, and getting all lonely. New years seems like the ideal time to do something about it.

maybe they just see the new year as a new opportunity to get a new man in their lives.

That's what I'm guessing but this year it seems that women are a bit more determined. I thought it was just the ones online but even just sitting in a coffee shop or browsing in a bookstore I'm being approached by women that seem more "ballsy" than I had noticed before. No complaints, it's just amusing to watch.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That's what I was thinking. A new years resolution to find a man.

I hear chocolate only does it for so long ;)

Don't forget guys, Valentines Day is only a month or so away, so they could be thinking ahead.

Aren't they scoundrels? Always looking ahead.


Truer words have never been written . . .
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ahhhh, therein lies their devilish plan... Attempting to spin a web for those who will feed their need for the spoils bestowed upon them an unsuspecting AFCs who have hopes of capturing their admiration with the lure of gifts wrapped in crimson.

I wish I had the problem of girls approaching me!

Girls not approaching me is why I came to sites like this in the first place.

Nothing has changed but I've gotten better at attracting them so they will eventually chase after me!

I must visit this Minneapolis of which you write.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Eh, just work on being more approachable. Maybe start off by looking at the women around you and notice what makes some more approachable than others.

I got caught once in a book store doing this and locked eyes with one woman who asked outright why I was purposely checking out every woman in the store. I was caught so what could I do? I told her the truth. I was trying to figure out why some women seemed more approachable than others. She gave me a stupid look and told me that she could tell me herself. Long story short, it's more about you than it is them.

Eh, save your money. If you want to visit someplace worthwhile in the states, I'd suggest Denver.

Was out there last month for a ski trip but I didn't see much of the city this time. I love Denver, urban but not too crowded, women are in much better shape than the beasts here in Chicago. Close to skiing, and in the summer rafting, biking, climbing, fishing, etc. I've tried working my contacts out there but haven't been able to find a good job. That's one of the few places I could live where I would consider working in a cube again.
