She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
A room the size of a closet? That was your own bedroom size? New York City is notorious for small apartments.
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.
No way tn will go democrat. Last election trump won by even bigger margin.
He won Florida by a bigger margin in 2020 too.
Still pretty slim. Just silly to think TN will go Democrat. TN is similar to Missouri. YOu have Nashville and Memphis voting Democrat but the rest of the state is now heavily Republican. There is no way they will ever outnumber the rest of the state.
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.
Eastern tn voting is like the Missouri ozarks. Most counties at least 80 percent trump and more last election. Nowhere in fl has this heavy republican voting. Not even then fl panhandle and Republicans in a state like mo are much more to the right than the fl rinos.
yeah but a lot of old people move to Florida and they are more than likely to vote Republican
Yes it is true, but the murder rate previously was like 400 people a year out of 8,000,000 (1 in 20,000)
About split but they're rino republicans from new england which suck. I live in swfl and it feels much more moderate than mo. Like gays for example. Much more tolerant down here. Also people are not into guns here like in missouri. St. Louis and jefferson counties have gun shops and ranges literally every corner now.
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.
Since the 2000s, Manhattan has attracted a more soy-ish type guy. White tech workers are often soy-ish. A lot of White race, white collar workers are beta males. White males who are blue collar are more likely to have better game than White males who are white collar workers. The blue collar white male has nearly disappeared from Manhattan. Some blue collar white males are in Queens, Long Island, and Staten Island. Hoboken went from being a dangerous, mainly minority place in the 1980s and early 1990s to a hipster, soy-ish white guy place.
As much as I have ragged on Manhattan and NYC, the truth is that the cream of the crop in NYC is there. All of the legit alpha males who get laid with quality women are all in Manhattan.
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.
Why?
It seems like they'd be looking for the small % of Alphas-Sigmas in Manhattan. Manhattan has a lot of beta male Millennial pansies.
The thing is that Manhattan is likely to have the most alphas simply due to alpha males from elsewhere moving there for work. Then you have the more "hood" parts of NY like the Bronx which are full of your DGAF type of wild alpha males, a lot on the wrong side of the law. The biggest try hard beta males in NYC are from places like Long Island, they bark loud about being tough but then ignore history, such as how their great grandparents chickened out of the Bronx and Brooklyn once more blacks and Hispanics moved in next door.
