She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
The guy could've wiped the floor with me.CHICAGO27 said:You cannot trust women! Ever! I've had some bad things happen to me over the years but this tops it.
I actually would have decked the guy if he was dancing with my gf of 1.5 years like that. Generally I wouldn't react like that but that level of betrayal would have warrented that. I would have kicked has arse and walked away - forever.
Dude, I feel for you! I know you are probably hurting now. Do not allow yourself to be reeled back in. Walk away!

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.

So, I'd have gotten beat up, probably assult charges, and that **** would've still left with ol' Goliath of Gath. Yay. I seriously hope she caught an STD from him... and maybe got her pregnant too. That'd make me feel better.CHICAGO27 said:Sometimes it's better to show honor than to allow yourself to be a stooge...
At least you would have made a stand, even if it mean't you got your arse kicked.
In front of my face...pipe007 said:well it could be true... but a 1.5 year LTR in front of your face?
lol well my 1 month date did this to me last saturday, we went clubbing, she was into me, until the taller better guy came along, and he bumped into her by accident, and they started talking, then flirting,,,,, in front of me
and she was giving me her back!! while doing it... lol, when the guy was about to walk away, she grabbed his arm, and told him "why are you leaving"? I was in shock.... 20 minutes before that she was all over me kissing me....
and I couldnt walk away because she picked me up in her car... so I had to swallow the whole thing....I never let them get away from my sight, so Im sure she didnt get a number though lol, but we never spoke again after that...
next!

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.
Just the "hey" and "hows your morning going?" messages. This sucks. I feel lonesome as hell right now. There's no way I'm going to work on Monday... I need to get some pot too.pipe007 said:when did this happen? yesterday?
has she tried to contact you again? or just that "hey" message
And yeah, it was last night.pipe007 said:when did this happen? yesterday?
