"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"When you're covered in bandages, everybody pays attention to you and worries about you. They also provide a chance to start talking to guys, who'll ask you how you hurt yourself, so the bandages are really, really good. One guy told me he likes seeing a thin woman's body wrapped in bandages because it made him think about bondage, and made him want to protect me from harm."

This is a "Rising sign of gender equality in Japan".

^Actually, interesting.

I was in Tehran, Iran for about the past 1-2 months, and there was a similar phenomenon there as well. I noticed a some women sporting bandages on their noses. After asking a few people about it, they told me that it's a fashion statement to show-off that they just had nose surgery. It was quite common actually, and apparently, it is similar to what you posted in the article above. They leave it on for the purpose of a conversation starter, to get men to talk to them / notice them.
