"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

On what qualities/attributes do you differentiate and how?

I got feedback from a girl that she was not used to guys treating her 'well' (specifically: not cancelling last minute, not waiting 3 weeks for the next date), and amusingly enough it went nowhere. She was pretty, but promiscuous, tattoos, mental health was quite bad and physically had some problems as well. Lesson learned. Now in contrast, I'd expect a pretty girl that is just out of a long relationship and no tattoos would value being decent more.

So it got me thinking, based on what do you differentiate? And how do you differentiate? Previously I was mostly one size fits all, so I'd like to learn here.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I could be wrong but sounds like the girl was meant for recreational use only / plate status only. You treated her like LTR worthy or Marriage worthy and it created a disconnect.

99.99% of the time, giving exclusivity to a 304, or a carousel rider, or a former carousel rider does not end well. SoSuave would have way less threads created if it did. The problem is, that also 99.99% of modern women are 304s, carousel riders, or former carousel riders.

A lot of young women get pumped & ghosted young. This turns them into an Alpha-Widow. They start riding the carousel during Rollo Tomassi´s "Party Years". Once they reach "The Epiphany Phase", decide they want exclusivity. But as @Gamisch says, they can hear the Carousel calling, escpecially if they have already been there.

The answer to the question asked in the title is both simple and complicated at the same time.

You gotta find a place of peace with yourself and it shouldn't be dependent upon any other human. No family, no friend no pet, no possession and ESPECIALLY not a strange woman.

You are one of a kind. You just gotta YOUmaxxx. Physically, financially, spiritually, emotionally ect.

This is HARD. For me as well. We were all conditioned to believe that after..20 or something we would eventually find a woman who we can share our lives with. As long as this believe is ingrained in your system you WON'T be happy, comparable to a crackhead who might get high, comes down only to feel TWICE as depressed. And thus the circle continues but the pain only becomes worse...

Now having said that ( and this is the most difficult part to grasp), this BY NO MEANS should scare you so bad that you completely discard women!!! Hell no. You should simply find a place of peace for them. Accept them for what they are. Enjoy them. But yet keep looking at them as a recreational drug that you take every now and then, like smoking purple or having a scotch.

Every day when you wake up you should be about differentiating yourself because again, you are unique and UNAPOLOGETICALLY you! We all had our laughs with @Amsterdamassasin ,but NOBODY can ever say that this guy ,with his pirate eye and cat in his shoulder, isn't the ultimate example of being yourself..

You differentiate by learning about how she grew up, how close to her family she is, was there dysfunction in her family, what kind of guys has she dated.

The types that say things like this have a lot of issues from how they were raised, and the relationships they had with previous men.

Dysfunction and abuse is what some know. Anything else is foreign and out of their comfort zone.

You can usually get a few months out of them and eventually they will try and sabotage the relationship. You will be lucky to hear a "you're too good for me".
