"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.

my friend and i both have similar taste in clothes although he tends to be more simple than i am. we both have shaggy hair and neatly trimmed beards, could pass for brothers, the difference is his facial structure is considered more "appealing" smaller nose, better smile, thinner eye brows and he is 5 inches taller than me and has broader shoulders.

i never considered this to be a problem until people and mostly girls started pointing out the similarity between us physically yet he'd always get more attention and compliments ie "he's so cute" "he's hot"

this has started to bother me, and i find myself unable to shake it most of the time especially when we're out together in a social setting.

any ideas on how i can get passed this?
it also doesn't help that we have the same taste in girls.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's useless to compare yourself with others. There will always be someone smarter than you. There will always be someone better-looking than you are. Make up for it in game. That's the leveling factor.

Also, from my experience, it just depends on the girl. We all have preferences. One of my good friends is a tall light-skinned black guy, mixed-race if you will. Girls call him "tall dark and handsome" which is still hilarious to me. If he's dark, I'm pitch black lol. Anyway we go out one night and his presence alone got him attention. This one girl approached me and is like "your friend is hot." In the past this would have bothered me but instead I just continued to scope out the scene. I looked good that night too and wasn't going to put it to waste. I got into a ridiculous state, probably the best ever. Lo and behold, at the end of the night, I found myself hooking up w/a girl who was hotter than any of his targets.
