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.
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.
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.
Yeah thanks for havin my back skip. Player's Syndrome huh? I suppose I can't rule this out. God only know's what will happen to me when I try to change my lifestyle. I may find out that my life is better the way I am. And we're all assuming that this will actually as well. I'll be honest, I've not been very good with LTR's because I've been so affixiated on becoming and being a prince of the night. There's a very good chance that I'll fall flat on my face in this whole thing or she'll think that I'm no where near ready enough to be with her during and after her pregancy. We'll just have to wait and see won't we? I'm not fear less but seeing as I'm no stranger to facing my fears I'm not really shaken by anything that has been said in this thread.skip2mylou781 said:PRmoon - i never doubted you, I knew you are a true real player
and like i said, you have PLAYER SYNDROME!!!!!
All women are different. Each has a different set of good qualities and baggage.This girl is different.
I'm not going to deny that it's appealing after dating lots of women, encountering many bimbos, and other women who are flakey. But all you're doing here is settling for a woman who seems "different" because she doesn't act like a typical American woman. I'll tell you right now, there's lots of women like this one out there. I can't tell you how many SMs I had the opportunity to date and start a LTR with. I turned them all down. Why? Because raising someone else's kid SUCKS.I mean come on guys does doing those things vs spending some time with a girl and yes possibly change/save my life by being a father sound like too out of this world? I'll admit I might be overcompensating somewhat becuase she's already pregnant but a wife, children, dogs, a house, you've gotta see how that MIGHT sound appealing to some one who's been in the game and pretty much done several lifetimes of partying condensed into a few solid years.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Think about this for a bit - it sounds like what you really is want to change your life. So why then use a [pregnant] woman to do so?PRMoon said:I'm only 25 but it's starting to catch up to me. I live a very risky life. I have and still do deal drugs to my clients, I'm an alcoholic, I have unsafe sex very often with girls I don't know etc etc How does any of that make me cool or even seem like a good way to live?
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.
I agree with this 100 percent.Unfortunately that still wasn't enough to make me any less an AFC at the time, nor does your position make you any less an AFC. Some of the most legendary PUAs are utter and hopeless AFCs when it comes to their ability to cope with a LTR. It's not the 'getting', it's the 'having.'
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.
