"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

I'm not ranting on the quality of posts here, but a lot of you guys need to get over your insecurities and stop over analyzing everything. Take things for face value in the beginning, if a girl says she had a good time...then she had a good time.

If a girl won't return your texts, stop crying...theres a million other ones and chances are you'll never run into that snob anyway.

If you break it off or get dumped, it sucks...no Juan can say they don't miss at least something about a broad.

I try and think of relationships as a constant learning experience, if I get tired of the woman or find a flaw I can't live with and have to cut it off then I passed. If I get dumped, I failed. Failure sucks, but there is always something to learn with any relationship no matter if it is 1 date or a 5 year LTR.

Sorry for the "mini" rant, I'm just tired of seeing over analyzing peeps crying here on forum.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

As soon as guys stop validating themselves through women this will be a non-issue.

Bingo! :rockon:

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Don't answer this in a post, but think for yourself (i might be wording the question wrong, but you should get the gist of what I'm sayin):

Do you personally feel that you would be more successful as a man if you were able to score hot chicks?

:EDIT:Do you derive happiness from seeing girls interested in you?

Be honest with yourself. Thats what I think he's getting at, but I may be COMPLETELY wrong lmao.

jon,
what he means is looking for a sense of purpose, identity, acceptance, and approval.and yes, VALIDATION as a Man, as a human being from a Woman.
ie; "I am not worthy, and I am not a Man, unless I have a woman and she tells me that I am. Becasue I am not worth anything, my own opinion of my Self is not worth anything to me."

When you feel you have such low self esteem, low self worth, that you value
sooooooooooooo much how a woman perceives you,"gives" you a sense of worth and value, hope she will 'like' you, and validates that you're Masculine, then you have deep serious issue to deal with.

The more you look for a woman to approve you, and MAKE you feel WORTHY,the LESS chance it will happen.
And the MORE chance she will thiink of you as Un masculine, needy, insecure, and totally NOT SEXY.


In short, the more you need her, the less she will give you. You actually TURN OFF and KILL any ATTRACTION she could have possibly had for you.

This guy is completely right. I'm dealing with the Hamlet/Laertes dilemma, and thinking about a problem a lot is never going to get the job done.
 

"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.

Overanalyzing can definately be a problem, but it's hard not to be overly analytical on a site like this, with all the specific techniques and strategies you're supposed to use

Eventually a guy might not use women as an indicator to his value/worth etc. because they are so weird, illogical and unpredictable and go for fakes, liars and illusionists. But he'll still feel down about not getting girls. Find me one guy who is happy that he gets no girls.

Apples and oranges. Validation and depression are two completely different things.

But cant Validation lead to depression? In which case apples and oranges turns into cause and effect....
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

This thread is covering two distinctly different points.

First off, it's hard to not over-analyze. Using my life as an example, I have never had any real long term exposure to girls. I know next to nothing about them. So in return I have to analyze my interactions with them and find out if I'm going up or down or staying the same. Over-analyzing takes place when there is an emotional attachment to the girl. I think it's completely normal to wonder what the heck is going on with the girls you know.

As for validation from women, it is dangerous but hard to avoid seeking validation from them. Actually I'm not sure if I'm using validation correctly. I want girls to like me, to be attracted to me, to want me. Being without a girl for my whole life has caused me to want those things. I feel that my life won't be complete until there is a girl in it. I don't feel like a proper person being forever single. It isn't natural to be alone.

True, but neither is dependant on the other. Both can be caused by other factors and both are independent entities on their own. Still apples and oranges.

Words never spoken so true Op. I was actually thinking that as i was reading some post here. The over analyzing has got to stop guy's. It's seriously pathetic. Not being an ass but you guys will never get better by coming here with every minor mishap or problem.

The best thing to do is learn from it and improve yourself. The main goal for any Don Juan should always be constant improvement for himself. Going into depression slumps isn't helping you. Coming here asking for advice for stupid shiit isn't helping you either. Stop walking on you back legs and learn to walk.

If You know the fundamentals of the game, and have the confidence that's all you need. The rest is a learning experience. Unfortunately many guy's here just can't grasp that.

When youre young and inexperienced you tend to need a womans approval for certain things. I was like that but eventually matured and grew out of it. You need to find things that make you confident in yourself. It can be anything. For me its my athletic ability and intellect. And recently my looks. Theres nothing that makes you more confident than being able to dominate other men on the gridiron, weightroom, classroom, etc.
 

"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.
