"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.

If you are on this site then you must now accept full responsibility for your life.

This means you can no longer blame your AFC father, AFC society, controlling/domineering mother, Feminized society, the “Matrix”, or any other convenient scapegoat for what you are, who you are, and your future actions.

I do not disagree with the problems of our society, as a matter of fact, I think it needs a nice big HHH (high, hot, and heluva lot) enema.

One of the unexpected side-effects of becoming conscious of the above things (yes, they are real) is how easy it is to blame them for your ails.

I note this as I continue to see creeping into some threads the shirking of responsibility, of throwing blame on someone or something, anyone but themselves.

And what is the biggest and most important scapegoat for responsibility: WOMEN! Yep, if yur fvcking up with them, it’s YOUR fault, not theirs.

Your mommy and daddy might have set you up to become an AFC but only YOU can make yourself into a man!

There are no victims here.
 

"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.

1. A Victim is a person unfortunate enough to experience something bad.
2. A Pussiy uses it to their advantage.

You should be targetting #2s, not #1s.

I think we are just defining “Victim” differently.

Perhaps I should be more specific: I’m referring to “Victim Mentality”.

A victim mentality is one where it is always someone else's fault for bad things happening to you. Further than this, it can be an expectation that things will go wrong, because `bad things always happen to me'. A victim blames others for their circumstances - when something happens, they don't take responsibility for their actions.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Following up on “Victim Mentality”

Here are some examples I see frequently and the truth:

Victim: All women are b*tches/wh*res/slvts.
Truth: You have not figured them out yet and it pisses you off.

Victim: That b*tch won’t give me the time of day.
Truth: You’re boring.

Victim: She’s just a flake.
Truth: You’ve given her no reason not to flake. Or you did not spot her flakiness and avoided her.

I’m sure others can think of lots more.

I’m talking about taking command, control, and accepting responsibility.

As I'm fond of saying, there are people who want to change the rules of the game to better fit their abilities, and there are those who master the game through practice and perseverance.

Don't wish the game was easier, wish you were better.

LOL...it's like playing Gears of War on X-box 360...you expect it to follow the rules of modern combat, but it doesn't...it follows an entirely different set. All you can do is unlearn.

You're absolutely right.

I fvcking agree. I've seen so many threads and heard so many comments from guys in the real world about how women are messed up, b!tches, play games, don't know what they want, stuck up and all that other stuff. I think the problem lies in men and it's up to ourselves to fix our problems in dealing with women.

It's easier said than done and sometimes it sucks going back to the drawing board when you fail a test with a woman but what's the alternative? I love the post by Rollo Tomassi

A Survivor is a person unfortunate enough to experience something bad, but doesn't let it stop him from moving forward.

A survivor dusts himself off and tries again.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Great fvcking thread :flowers:

Too many guys are self loathing due to thier own laziness. Not only are they completely neglect of any responsibility for thier own direction in life they really, truly believe that THEY are the victim and deserve to be given some slack in thier decision making.

Like the hobo holding the "Vet, need help. god bless " sign cut out of an old shoe box at the street corner, you think that guy isn't going to take any dopes hard earned cash and hit up the package store for some wild irish rose? Think again.

True. I guess there's a situational victim (when shyt hits the fan), and then there's the after-victim. :)

I'm currently re-reading "The Art of Seduction" and one small thing that stood out to me was in the side notes in the Charmer chapter. It says "never complain, never explain."

I think bottom line is we need to quit complaining about women. So she flaked on you? Hmmm.....figure out what that means in you. Sometimes it feels good to complain about women but if we're gonna complain, let's learn something from it.
 

"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.

A "surviver", a person who hasn't given up is just a slow learner.

Only joking!..... I think.
