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.
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.
Hey man thanks! And don't say such things about yourself. Don't put yourself down. Everyone has to start somewhere. Remember, you are the only one who can get out there and start trying, so you might as well get off the Internet and start getting some field experience. No one else can do it for you. And it is really within reach of any regular guy, really. Yes, I'm still having trouble but I'll get there eventually. Unless you are severely deformed (ie having a d1ck growing out of your eye) or highly retarted you have nothing to worry about, dude.SiYuan said:Hey dogg carry on with this man.
You my big inspiration here. Reading this makes me feel lazy and fearful.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
My goal hasn't changed, it's still: "To get laid".Solomon said:snowdog respect on this journal
Probably the longest one now since Jayer quit, my question is this, are you keeping your goals in mind or have they changed? you happy with your game or you wanna strive to keep improving?

Well, why not? To kinda tease a girl like that and be a little mysterious can help.MisterMcGee said:"I thought of saying something like "That's a secret" or something."
... youre joking, right?
Lots of anger in your posts. You seriously need some of these!MisterMcGee said:she gives you her number, told you her name, and asked for your name, and you think playing silly games with her by concealing your NAME would be cute or mysterious?
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.
Yea, you make good points there. I just took advice from another girl, which is something I shouldn't had done to begin with. She told me calling can scare a girl away. But again, f*ck it. I can't change anything about it, and I'm sure I won't make that same mistake ever again.TheBucketOfTruth said:Just more proof texting sucks. I've found it's best to go for the close the same night with these party situations. Getting the number and running will work sometimes, but these girls aren't in the same mindset the next day w/o the party atmosphere and alcohol. As you know, you should have pursued the girl that opened you. A girl opening you is a good sign. If you weren't comfortable dancing then you could have led her by the hand to another spot to sit down and spit game.
PS: You said you would call her, but sent her a boring text instead (besides mentioning the accent). Stick to your word. Calling takes more courage than texting, and some girls know this.
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.
