Once you did the basic touching kino, would palm reading be a good way to start touching more the girl?
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
arm reading? it exists?MAVER1CK said:hell yea, dont stop there either... do arm reading.. and if you can, go to stomach readings.
the more time you spend touching and she gets comfy with it.. the BETTER.
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.
MAVER1CK said:Listen dildo. Dont cramp the mans game.
Want to know why its been around since the 60s? BECAUSE IT WORKS.
now shush.
apprently there are a lot of things you are not aware of.MAVER1CK said:dumb chicks? what? I wasnt aware there were levels of intellect in the female pool..
Yeah, call me names, and when you grow up, you'll learn how to debate like an adult.MAVER1CK said:but if your some inflamed male douche who frowns on everything, then Shut it.
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.
I think if you used this as an opener yeah you'd pretty much be shooting yourself in the foot. But if you worked it in after building some good repore or while having some drinks they'd laugh but they'd think it was cute or funny. It'd be like doing a cheap bar or magic trick, kinda like building to a winning personality.rocky_mtn said:Yeah, what ever works for you. Some dumb chicks might go for the palm reading. Most of the women I meet would laugh at that sh!t, but that's just me. Sarge on.
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.
