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.
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.
It's not that bad of an influence. Before there were pop songs, you'd have famous poems dedicated to love and romance and women.georgie24 said:pdubb
there should be no back and forth, its JUST WRONG preacching to the masses and BAD influence on younger men !
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.

As long as there have been men, there have been men dedicating their artwork to whining about women.

what " bar" in that entire song is uplifting to a mans spirit ?
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 song disgusts me... but it's because I can't believe what Wiz turned into... damn shame.alecks said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhQz-0QVmQ0 this has to be added to the afc list....listen to the lyrics

This is why a lot of guys think women don't need men. But this post is totally accurate. I gotta go before that back and forth bruno mars sh*t arises.JdelaSilviera said:Yes, it´s mainstream now. Men dedicate songs to the women they love, while women sing songs like "I don´t need a man". And this sh*t really does affect the way people think. Guys become wussies, and women think they own us.
Have you ever seen how weak people suddenly act strong, when they find a weaker person? Or a shy person, that overcomes her shyness when an ever shyer person arises?
That´s what you have with women, when they are with an alpha man, they are really quiet, submissive and respectful (this is a pretty good way to see if she´s attractive to you). When they realize that a guy is weak, they behave like the biggest *****es in the world.
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.
Dude, you just blew my doors off with this. I've never looked at pop songs in this way, nor realized what the big deal with poetry was until just now.Iceberg said:It's not that bad of an influence. Before there were pop songs, you'd have famous poems dedicated to love and romance and women.
