“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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'm talking about illnesses, fears, personality issues, low self-esteem that kind of thing. Even if it was something in the past and now overcome.

You probably already know this, but it is more important than you think. Even if you think you are close to the girl and she has an understanding personality, revealing a weakness early on is suicide.

This chick and I had a great flirty relationship. I knew that she really liked me, but she was smart enough not to be too obvious about it.

Then I started to get sick. While I didn't lose my DJ mindset, I kinda stopped acting like one. I had no energy to flirt, and became a bit flat and sometimes dull. I couldn't really give a fvck. But due to this "don't give a fvck" attitude she still liked me.

At my most ill I kind of screwed her around by coming late to meetings and being an absolutely useless study partner. I felt the need to, not apologise, but to explain why I hadn't been my usual outgoing self.

At the time I KNEW this would terminate her interest. Still I went through with it because she seemed different to other girls. I only really wanted her as a friend though to be honest....illness makes you apathetic toward women.

She listened with understanding and everything seemed cool. But afterwards, once I was on my way back to full fitness she's gone all cold on me. The first thing she asks me when our paths cross is, "Are you feeling better?" or something along those lines.

It feels like I'm being pitied like a little kid. I've lost all my alpha status, even though I've put on 7kgs of muscle since then. SHe won't laugh with me any more, and twice knocked me back for after-class beers citing some lame excuse.

I owe the b1tch two beers also, and all I really want from her is social proof to be honest.

So overall, I did NOTHING wrong to have her turn so cold except revealing the details of my major weakness, a chronic illness.

I've found through personal experience that guys see strength in controlling and overcoming a sometimes debilitating problem. But chicks only see half a man: "He can't protect me". This recent girl is not the only one who knows....girls from high school are the same.

Notice how your female family members get extra concerned and fuss over you when you have a simple cold? They build problems up to be way bigger than they actually are...it's just the way they're wired. Then the nurturing instinct kicks in, which is pretty much the opposite to attraction. How could a girl still want to fvck you if she feels a need to protect you? It doesn't add up my friends.

So after revealing a weakness, the girl will subconsciously build it up to be worse than it actually is, making you look even weaker and hence less desireable.

So don't ever reveal your problems until you are ready to marry a girl. If she went cold that late in a relationship she's not wife material anyway so you win.

yeah

yeah .. it is hard to keep things to yourself. The point of being in relationship is mutual understanding etc.

But i think youre seeing this to black and white.

You can definately share weaknesses/problems/ with women.

Its your REACTION to them they care about.

Its where your HEADING.

In fact, you can kick in their maternal instincts as you say.

As far as this girl.....i doubt this is the only reason you lost her.

It wasnt the illness. It was probably that you looked un ambitious.

Now THATS a killer.

Your life force was zapped...and you looked weak.

Not INJURED. WEAK. Theres a difference.

Maybe her asking: "are you feeling better?" is the actual: "are you back into the game, when are you gonna jump me, studmuffin?"

Just consider that possibility.

I have to agree with the duke here.

Revealing any sort of negativity will make you lose your image of the strong caretaker. Even though it shouldn't matter that much anymore these days, women look for a man that can protect them. Think about early man. Women depended upon men to protect them and their offspring. Women as well as men are wired to provide the best posibilities for their offspring so their genes will have the best chance of survival.

Revealing a weakness will not only trigger the caretaker in a woman, but it will also - maybe it be unconsciously - make the woman stop seeing you as a good provider of genes. An illness used to be lethal and though it is not anymore, our instincts still recognize weaknesses as a no-no.

I don't know if you are ignorant enough to believe that a human is a different species than any other animal, but even though we evolved in a way that is spectacular, our brains are still wired like the cavemans brains. That is: survival of the fittest. So by speaking of your weakness or illness, you will subconsciously turn any woman off.

Duke, it sounds like you DID do something wrong in the way that you came off. You said that you stopped giving a ****, and in such you probably started to act very cold. Either way, you're stuck with the situation you're at now.

Maybe give it some time and dont talk to her for a while. Then approach her and tell her you're going out on 'X' night and it'd be cool if she came along cause you havnt talked in a bit. If she agrees then cool, and take it from there. You should still be able to get that social proof you're dying to get. If she still isnt bothered then forget it :)

Revealing weaknesses goes against 'marketing' yourself to her, so it obviously has an opposite effect

I think Duke is on to something here, don't anybody try to deny it or explain it away.

Women and men still act according to ancient instincts in a lot of cases.

Ask yourself this: Why do many women instantly cross off a guy with glasses? THere are lots of stylish glasses and some guys look good in them, so why?
\
Because they percieve weakness, illness, anything but healthyness is a guy who needs glasses.

10000 years ago a man who could not see, could not hunt. Therefore he was no use to the woman.

This is still ingrained today.

This is why women are attracted to strong, athletic men.

It is all instinctual

Never reveal weakness to a woman...and you all agree???

Wrong.

Don't be a pvssy! But DO reveal weakness from time to time. It's part of being human and the contrast helps to create a 3 dimensional, dynamic personality. Not the cookie cutter alpha tough guy you guys think you need to be.

You have some learning ahead of ya. All of ya. Yes you do.

I see where Soma is coming from and have to agree. I'm sure we've all come across people who claim they're everything, are good at everything and have everything. They're generally full of sh!t and not very likeable people. They usually look very insecure too.

Now if you reveal a few flaws, it makes you a more genuine and likeable person with nothing to prove.
