Today it is oneitis tomorrow it is the other one it is. If you got oneitis she caught you using 20 lb line and number 4 hook by your balls.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Yep it seems to happen to me every so often. Well, twice in the last few years and both times it cost me both girls. I dropped every girl I was talking to and seeing at the time for the one girl and in the end I was left with 0 girls. I knew it was stupid at the time too but you get suckered in somehow by one particular girl and you want to stop yourself but you can’t.You avoid obsession by not thinking about a woman so much that you are distracted from other options. I think this is good advice from young guys, but older ones... not so much. Younger women are still feeling out their power, and they get lots of attention, they haven't really figured out what they want, and they have a limited amount of time to figure this out, chicks typically have a 10 year window where no matter what they do, there will be a number of dudes that are just falling over themselves to please them. And these dudes get obsessed.... For older men, who have life experience, we know to look past all this and stay focused on what we want, because what 'she' wants is going to change like the wind.
But I do agree that chicks, with good mating strategy, will play the game of supplication and helplessness (regardless of age), because they know this triggers in dudes our instincts to protect and help women. It is instinctual for men to want to help and save women... if we did not have this instinct the human race would have died out eons ago. It provides the basis for the development of civilization since early in human development, tribes of men that worked together to protect and care for women and children of their tribe, were the tribes that survived and flourished.
You avoid falling into this trap by being selfish, and demanding reciprocation. It's okay to give, but make sure you are getting something in return. Because as soon as you put too much effort into a chick, you find yourself drawn in and thinking about her too much.

Purpose keeps a mans priorities straight and its attractive.Nice work.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
So let's say one of the chicks leaves and you left with one. Does that mean you're gonna go onitis on her?That’s why you always have at least 2 chicks on the go until you’re in an LTR. Even if you like one more, the variation and variety kind of buffers your brain from going full simp mode and seeing two girls give you the needed aura to easily pick up more.

Yes it’s a mindset, and you don’t get that mindset by only seeing one woman and giving your attention only to her.So let's say one of the chicks leaves and you left with one. Does that mean you're gonna go onitis on her?
No.
So how many chicks you spin doesn't matter, it's the underlying mind set.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
You don’t want to ignite feelings in her, that’s how you lose plates, they will demand you commit or they leave, the ultimatum. It’s how most plates are lost, or they find a guy willing to LTR them."Options breed confidence and confidence breed options."
Avoid Oneitis by dating multiple women. I think the best rotation numbers around 3-4. This spaces their time apart well enough that you only see each one once every 2 or 3 weeks. Talk and text sparingly. You know you're doing it right if they complain to you that you don't 'communicate enough' or are the 'worst texter'. Don't be afraid to disappear for a few weeks or months. Your return will ignite feelings in them stronger than before.
Women want to win you over from other women. And you shouldn't let her 'win you over' into a LTR for at least a year from the time you begin dating her. The guys that jump right into LTR mode from dating a few months always lose because the women will subconsciously think he is desperate.
