"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.

Thanks for all the advice guys, it trully as been much appreciated.

Last night I went out wearing nothing but a stylish suit & I added a lot of controversial badges such as "I would fcuk me", "VIP", "heart breaker", "I love being me", "I just wish I would die" Etc.

The badges caused quite a stir too because they were bright coulers which showed up brightly next to my black suit, and also some of the badges are contradicting each other so it always gets the chicks questioning & approaching ME :)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

How to not dress like a "geek"

DONT be afraid to spend money on clothes.

If your shirts are less than 10 bucks and your jeans/slacks whatever are in their 20-30s it will definetely show.

If you see something you like, buy it, it will be more beneficial than buying something that doesn't fit your style and look like crap.

Also, buy clothes that fit right, too small or too big is bad.

I have a smart friend. I likes me and looks up to me. I was his dj. I am black medium brown skin, and I have light brown eys that sometimes turn green. The girls love em. Always. He chills wit me and noticed this, he bought a set of complexion matching grey/blue contacts. Alot of the girls love em, he is always noticed, sometimes he even overshadows me, cause how many black guys do you know with blue eyes?

Why the hell would you want blue eyes if youre black? Thats like those crazy black women who dye their hair blonde. I think grey eyes would look better anyway.

Who ever buys a book on peacocking should be shot.

Most the accessorizing/peacoking stuff I've seen looks VERY gay to me. Mystery is the worst. Gimme a break, eyeliner, black nail polish, Dr. Seuss hats. If it works for him, more power to him, but you won't catch me wearing that sh*t.
 

"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.

Yeah, ofcourse your inner game has to be strong to peacock - Obviously if you show up somewhere in a some crazy hat, or necklace, or whatever - you've got to OWN IT. Otherwise you'll lower your perceive value instead of raising it.

Check out some outlet stores like Nordstrom rack, where you can get pricey, stylish stuff at reasonable prices. You can look around and see what works for you.

For me I always try to dress stylish in such a way that I stick out just a little in a crowd. It tells a women without even talking to me, a) I take more pride in my appearance than the average person, b) I am stylish and intune with what's cool.

I had a women come up and chat me up because she liked my Ed Hardy shirt. How did she know about Ed Hardy shirts if she's a girl? Simple. Women place value on knowing alot about clothes - even men's clothes.

floydtheheater07 I like the hot libranian type too, but can never find em...Me and you are gonna have to get up and talk.
They are incredibly difficult to find. Of all the women I have had in my life, only two of them ever really qualified as that type. It doesn't seem to be very popular.

I still think there are a lot of people who have got the wrong idea of peacocking & dressing smart for that matter. I mean dressing smart doesnt mean wearing expensive clothes. Hell no. For instance you could dress someone up in the most expensive clothes known to mankind but if they dont fit well & the person is not comfortable wearing it then its NO good to them.

Also of course you need to have at least some level of inner game to peacock effectively because by peacocking you are putting your self in the spot light so you had better be able to deal with the pressure that comes with this.

I find it hard to believe that no one here mentioned this so far...
1. Go out to a mall
2. Approach a hip-looking attractive woman
3. Tell her that youre going for a new look and was wondering what a girl like her would find attractive
4. Get ready to walk. a lot.
5. Have her help you shop
6. Get her number or something afterward, but keep in mind that your first priority was to find a new look

Agreed. Style talked about being "the leader of a tribe" in your appearance. I think as long as you dress as if you are "the leader of a tribe", (what ever style works for you), then you are ahead of the game. People should dress well, but dress in a way that conveys confidence, power and leadership - whether they are dressed as a wall street businessman or a rockstar.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
