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.
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.
yea the last spurs vs pistons finals was pretty boring.Roly said:Its either the Spurs or Pistons that are going to take it. I know a lot of people call the Spurs " Boring", but guess what? Their " boring" style wins games. It's a known fact that Defense and Fundamental basketball Wins championships.
Look I'm not saying that a Run N Gun team cant win a championship. As a matter a fact, it had 19 years ago when Magic and Kareem was running the show. But a Team needs to work on both ends of the court and play Good Solid Team Defense especially in the 4th quarter to Win in the playoffs. Teams like the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors simply don't have that dedication. Great Teams, but they gamble and slack off way too much in Defense.Falcon said:yea the last spurs vs pistons finals was pretty boring.
I used to hate manu ginobli but now after watching this year, I'm getting to like him.
I still can't believe dallas got knocked out in the first round.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Yea no doubt, defense and being fundamentally sound usually always comes out on top. I think those were huge factors in why team usa lost to greece last year.Roly said:Look I'm not saying that a Run N Gun team cant win a championship.

He still does. Or at least HIV. There is no cure yet...RedPill said:I was just thinking this while watching the TNT broadcast the other night...
Remember when Magic Johnson used to have AIDS?
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.
I hate the spurs bunch of cheaters, Duncun is good... but SO BORING to watch. Suns should have won the 6th game and the 7th. I hope the pistons win! Even though their series against the cavs is SO BORING to watch... golden state and suns were the best teams to watch IMO.Falcon said:My opinion is the spurs will take it this year.
agree?
I've been rooting for the cavs... but I have a hard time believing that they will win with larry hughes as the second option. Unless lebron goes off for the rest of the series. I like their rookie, gibson, and that other guy too (european i think)... the guy who had a huge block on jason kidd. hopefully they tie it up and make it into a series.Bonhomme said:I wouldn't count out the Cavs so easily. All the games with the Pistons have been very tight.
I gotta favor the Spurs overall. Though I'll give the Pistons a shot if they really move the ball around well. When their offense gets tied up they can't hit squat.
Both teams are good, but the pistons still have no answer for duncan. webber i feel makes their frontline worse in this situation with his bad defense. I wonder how they are going to deal with that.RedPill said:In the finals, the Pistons will be motivated by both the revenge factor for the finals of 2005, and once again will play with a chip on their collective shoulders since the media will heavily favor the Spurs.
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.
