"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

OK, guys, here's some killer data for you.

Had a friend snap a bunch of pics of me last week. I'm wearing a leather motorcycle jacket and sitting on my bike. I deliberately concentrated on feeling like a ****y d!ck in most of the pics but smiled in a few - mostly because he was busting on me for trying so hard to look like a d!ck.

Now the interesting part. I cropped the two best pics so you can just see the fairing of the bike but my head and upper body are the main focus. Both the pics were virtually the same except that I'm smiling in one and not in the other.

Posted each on hotornot. The results:

Not smiling: 9.4
Smiling:6.8

More proof that nice guys don't get laid!

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Good research, though I think it is not that straightforward.
You have to be congruent in the pic. If you are on a bike, helmet\etc - you tend to send "bad boy" sort of image. Do bad boys smile? No.

If you are wearing t-shirt\shorts and there is a beach in thebackground and you are serious as hell... well, you are not congruent.

Although you observation does make sense in general: most male models wear suits and dont wear smiles.

I posted two pics and got a 9.5 and a 9.7, then posted another that was almost the same and it was a 6?

Hotornot is a fickle mistress. My smiling pics did a little better than non-smiling in the past. I like to test run them there before I put them on Myspace or Match. If it gets a 9+, I roll with it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

You got it - it is fickle as hell.
Better post you pics somehwere and post link here: you will have plenty of feedback. This is much better than to realy on oinipon of some 17y.o. who vote on hotornot.
