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.
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.
Thats just one of many tho.Ehh not really
The ugly fat girls on there are still ugly with all that makeup on.
The only one that I thought was hot was this one with all the makeup.

And even after removing her makeup. Waking up next to her the next day, I'd still want to fvck the sh1t outta her. Especially if she's got an ass to go with her skin color
That is actually a trend. I wouldn't categorize this as 100% catfishing since they are at least being upfront with the before and after, I would call it body dysmorphia.
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.
Wow. Some real ugly b!tches dude.. Real ugly, inside and out!That is actually a trend. I wouldn't categorize this as 100% catfishing since they are at least being upfront with the before and after, I would call it body dysmorphia.
There is this pretty famous girl on tik-tok that has no teeth and is not stellar looking that has this pretty nice body and when she puts on makeup, fake teeth, etc she looks what social media would call gorgeous. I think she calls it to shake my beauty or something.
Either way, to your point it is scary. Terrifying if they are not being honest about what they look like naturally. 100% misleading and psychologically alarming.
That is one of my high standards. I am not opposed to women wearing makeup, but:
1) Look natural 90% of the time you are with me. Especially the first few times we meet.
2) Minimal makeup if she is to wear it
If you are that type of woman that likes a lot of makeup and wears it almost every day, it's all good, you do you boo, but I am not your man. There is the door.

I would call it false marketing.I wouldn't categorize this as 100% catfishing since they are at least being upfront with the before and after, I would call it body dysmorphia.
I would also happily smash this without makeup she's hotEhh not really

Its never stops to fascinate me how much makeup can change and alter a persons appearance.Google "transvestite makeup before and after"
This is what I'm talking about when I say most girls are actually ugly without makeup on. It's all an act. It's their only worth so they exaggerate it.
You NEVER know what a girl looks like by looking at a picture.
I was in Bangkok and chatted with a ladyboy for about 5 minutes before asking if "she" was a real girl. He told me no, so I left. I almost felt like I was offending her by asking, but good thing I did lol.Its never stops to fascinate me how much makeup can change and alter a persons appearance.
This thing with trannys tho makes it even more freaky as some are so good at it that they could fool you for a real girl. Aka the nightmare scenario of must guys including myself and what Stu expedience in the video clip from hangover below ha ha.
No. But its a big nightmare that you might make a move on one by mistake and come as far as make out (believing its a girl).Wait... You had sex with a tranny on accident?!
That's why I only go in the go-go bars marked "real girls only."No. But its a big nightmare that you might make a move on one by mistake and come as far as make out (believing its a girl).
My gaydar is usually very good at catching these.

But some are really hard to spot because they are such a naturals at playing their role + their makeup etc etc.
Hey you don't want to miss the "Stu experience", right?But I would never get anyone off the street in Thailand in the RLD.
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.
Ask them to take a shower with you, or go swimming. Problem solved.Are you guys shocked ?
My ex slept with her makeup on for 3 months when we first met
They know the second you see their bare face the entire power struggle swings back into the mans favour
I would implore any man to take a good hard look at any plate , girlfriend or a LTR without any makeup on
Usually you will find her allure will completely diminish , hold that picture in your mind and it will serve you in good stead
The irony of makeup is that it feeds insecurity about your true self as it on the same time acts like a ego confidence booster while wearing it.Oddly enough, there are some women who naturally look good without makeup, but still wear a ton of it
