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.
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.
Would you want your girl to follow that rule? She's allowed to **** guys as long as she doesn't get penetrated 10 times, so technically it doesn't count as sex?runner83 said:I hate to be a downer, but that does not count as s ===) x, you are still a virgin. A minimum of 10 strokes of full penetration is required.
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.
Well, if you read through my journal, you'd know that I started out at an extremely low point. This post sums it up pretty well.Congrats, I always enjoy reading success stories!
However, I was a bit disheartened by the fact that you've been here for 3 years and according to this hot girl are suave and good looking, yet this is your first time having sex.
Can you explain this, cause it kinda makes me want to jump off a bridge hahaha
I'm currently in Florida.Was it on another continent?
I finally see that now. Getting laid for the first time lifted a huge mental block/insecurity from me. It was something that was just still bothering me. And you are right, I changed myself around completely and getting laid became a byproduct of that.That's fantastic, man! Look at all of the progress you've made! "Getting laid" doesn't really matter. Lots of guys use it in terms of a 1 time thing like "once I get laid I'll be a totally different person", (I'm pretty sure this is unconscious) you know, that kind of mindset. I think that a lifestyle of getting laid is so much more desirable than just losing your virginity. I suppose you'd want to achieve that in steps and stages though. You are an inspiration to guys like me who are on the lower levels seeking to make it to the top. Step by step is the way to go.
You rock snowdog!
Thank you. I'm suspecting it's because of the rubber, because once I put that on, I went down pretty much immediately. This happened twice. I bought those XL ones and I don't have the problem anymore.I'm very happy for you Snowdog. I think I remember seeing some of your posts two-three years old. I've only come back to this forum this week. I would send you cake, but I can only imagine how much shipping would cost me.
I lost my virginity less than a year old too. The first time always sucks, but it is a milestone for you. I have no doubt that you will have many more sexual exploits, and they will get better and better every time. The best sex is usually when I don't care, I lose myself to lust and passion. Thats when I have no problem getting hard, because well... things just keep escalating and escalating until the final "eruption".
But, If I have to think about ****, thats when I start to keep soft... etc... etc.. its just horrible.
Anyway.. enjoy your new status!
Thank you, man. That last part is maybe even more valuable in the end. It's so good to not give a sh*t and just be yourself.Nice Snow! I'm really happy for ya man. I'm glad to see you did it because it shows that with effort even in this department of your life you can do anything. And on top of that you've broken free from the matrix. Awesome man.
Hahhahaha thanks dude.Would you want your girl to follow that rule? She's allowed to **** guys as long as she doesn't get penetrated 10 times, so technically it doesn't count as sex?
Congrats tho snowdog, good to see improvement.
When I'll get back in NL we should hang out.I've been reading everything for a while and you are doing great. I really recognize myself in you and you are doing awesome man!
I Just wanted to say to you: Veel succes en je kan serieus trots op jezelf zijn! Je bent behoorlijk ver gekomen sinds het begin.
Good luck and don't forget the most important thing. To have fun ;-)
**** yeaSpring break beach. We are meeting up!
Now that's more like it! Good stuff man!snowdog said:I'm also not a virgin anymore by Runner83's standards now, just fyi. I'm constantly getting texts from this girl about how amazing she finds me and how wet she is now thinking about me and **** like that and every time we see each other she basically tries to rape me.
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.
I feel I'm finally ready to acknowledge this now. I just felt I had a piece missing in me all the goddamn time so far.No man of true greatness will ever be remembered for the chicks he banged.
Instead he will be remembered for the worthwhile achievements in his life. Be that man!
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
