"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.

Just wondering how many of you men have had a bad relationship with your mother. I know I did...

I guess it's kind of a sensitive subject and perhaps many guys wouldn't like to admit it or even want to think about the question... But we're the mature men, so let's just be honest with ourselves and each other.

So who of you have had a bad relationship with his mother?
 

"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.

Me and my mother never got along....she felt she raised a failure as a son, and I never said I love her. Yet, after she died of Cancer I guess all the arguments and the times i spent hating her......

I just feel like **** about it....

My mother is a hardcore femininst.............It took me years until i really accepted it...........she is complicated like all women, we don't agree on much............we are different. It's sad and I wish it wasnt like this but it is.

She didnt treat her sons the way other mother did imo, it was more about her. She was one of the career driven women who was probably not meant for marriage and kids. My parents got divorced when I was 13.

Ehh my relationship with my mom is weird I used to love her to death but she raised me to be very catholic like towards women and respect them and treat them right but once she broke her morals and got caught I lost respect for her. can't really say I love you kinda hard.
 

"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.

Most of the times mothers are the biggest c0ck blocks in a man's life,all that crap about treat others with respect no matter what,never use violence and consider girls as saints is probably one of the many reasons of the afc wave especially now that fathers don't influence their sons so much being them busy of afcs themselves.

There are even mothers that grow up their kids as if they were asexual,you know those leftist women who deny their sons to play with guns or use war videogames than brag about their sons to be "nice people" because they get kicked while playing soccer but never kick back.

My mom and I are best friends now, but I think she had a big influence on me developing ultra-AFCness in my twenties. I was a late bloomer and have really only begun to shed my AFC traits in the last five years. I still have a lot of them.

"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.
