"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.

Photofeeler charges you to have 20 or more people rate photos for various categories.

I had a bunch of photos rated.

What is absolutely amazing is seeing how the same photo taken from two angles gets 20% variation in looks, intelligence and trustworthiness. Pictures of myself taken in 2016 range from 75% high to 25% low - amazing. My dates rates from 99% high to 42% low.

The numbers don't correspond to a 1-10 scale. They are a mathematical sorting - if you are 99% that means your photo rated higher than 99% of the people. So 51% still isn't bad as you're in the better half of photos.

Note that a photo rating for a girl tells you a LOT more about her attractiveness than a photo rating for a guy, which omits presence, height, confidence and income which mean more to women than looks. For men, think of it as pass/fail.

These huge variations underscore the need to have your profile pictures professionally reviewed to avoid having one of these slightly wrong features appear that knocks the rating down.
 

"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.

Even the same photo if cropped differently produces vastly different results.

You need to get them rated to see it seems. It looks like I can pull in the 70 - 80 range with my photos, but some of my photos are a lot lower (as are some women I thought were hot).
