We all tend to view the world through our own lens of reality.
To some she may well be a 10. To me she is a cute 7.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.
He makes a good point. This is afterall "Anything Else".SmokeX said:Just a random post in anything else, Felt like doing it.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. It always pissed me off that I have to get a 2.0 GPA in school (which is like 65%), even though the cut-off mark is 50%.Mctwist4 said:I agree with you, but when schools use a system of grading where 70 - 79% is considered average, people are going to apply the same same system to the rating and grading of most other things. There's really nothing we can do about it.

Way to be offtopic. Lemme guess, you're gonna add me now :yawn:~attrACTION~ said:"This message is hidden because SmokeX is on your ignore list."
Ah, I love the ignore list! I don't know why I didn't start using it earlier. It makes visiting SoSuave much more pleasant.

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 was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?~attrACTION~ said:"This message is hidden because SmokeX is on your ignore list."

Slevin - Apparently so. hahaSlevin said:What was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?
:yes:TheNewGuy said:Lemme guess, you're gonna add me now
No. In another thread, SmokeX claimed that he was a homosexual. I think it's somewhat disturbing having a GAY member on the SoSuave forum. Especially since this is not GaySuave.Slevin said:What was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?
Ummmm......~attrACTION~ said:I have nothing against homosexuals
So you're a lying bigot, got it!I only add people who are blatantly GAY
Have fun burying your head in the sand, you worthless bigot!!Congratulations, you make 25.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
the funny thing is.... is that you just made his girl look worse than the pictures that he posted.Docs said:^
She's 18. I'll see if I can dig though my collections of pictures and show you a better one of my mate's girl.

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.
