"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

What are your least favorite cliches or sayings that people spout out every day?

Mine are:

"I hate seeing commercials and you dont even know what theyre advertising for nowadays"- Yeah like ive never heard that you jackass.

"President bush is________ - im so sick of hearing his name. cliche city.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

"Your mom <insert poorly constructed humor here>"

Primitive attempts at being funny and usually lose respect for people slinging "your mom" insults/jokes around.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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 can't stand when I'm working and someones says "Havin fun yet?"

Also, when people, (especially guys!) ask for a "ciggy" GAY!

I also hate all hip-hop speak, like "gimme a holla" "whats crackin?"

Oh, and the ever so popular "Where da bytches at?"

How about these:


"It is what it is..." I HATE that statement almost as much as i hate it's previous equivalent: "Whatever...".

Both of those statements usually reek of an apathetic attitude that I find quite off-putting.

Also, here's another cliche saying that I hear on idiot-assed TV almost every day:

"You, are...NOT, the Father!!!!"

But hey, wait a minute...at least that one is usually GOOD news, though.:up:

Any woman who includes "fine dining" in her list of hobbies is typically scratched from my list.

When you come to work on monday and you aren't feeling really well and someone says: " Sounds like someone has a case of the monday's"

I believe you should get your ass kicked for saying something like that.
 

"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 know, right?"

"what the *fuck* is up?!" ...is that even necessary?

stupid females calling their friends bitches, sluts and whores just because they can when no one else can... and smile it off as if they're cute. (girls like this are embarrassing to even know. makes you /facepalm when you hear them say that.)

leet speak is fun... and hot when a girl understands and sarcastically jokes around with it.

"Step up to the plate"

Nothing makes me think I'm talking to a tool faster than when I hear a guy utter this phrase. It is invariably spoken by a guy who's never 'stepped up' himself or is glad you did so he wont have to, but will gladly take the credit himself.

I also automatically despise anyone who uses my own name in every third sentence. ",..and you know, Rollo, that's why,...blah blah,.." Nothing says "I'm selling you" faster than when a guy uses my name in conversation.

Same here, and also whenever I hear a chick say "soulmate" I get an urge to puke.
 

"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.
