"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.

Pool tricks...! (awesome!)

"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.

This game would be for fairly competent/good players who know angles and english.
Can be played by two players.
---------
I thought of a good way to test out clearing tables by yourself.

Throw out all the balls randomly. Set up your white ball behind the break line and shoot properly. Rules apply as per 8-Ball, with the following exceptions.
- You fail to sink a ball.
----> Pull one of your balls out of the pockets and throw it back on the table.

- You sink a uncalled shot.
----> Pass turn.

- You fail to legally hit your own ball first.
----> Pull one of your balls out of the pockets and throw it back on the table.
----> Ball in hand to other colour.

- You scratch or shoot the white ball off the table.
----> Pull two of your balls out of the pockets and throw them back on the table.
----> White ball is to be behind the break line shooting up table.

- You illegally sink the eight ball (by foul, uncalled shot, scratch, etc)
----> All of your coloured balls are thrown back onto the table.
----> Ball in hand to alternate colour.

I have very good accuracy (in terms of eyeballing the angles), but if you're like me and have spots of sloppyness, or you tend to scratch, it is very hard to clear the table of either colour. Having no/snooker shots are common and costs a ball.

I went two and a half hours without being able to clear the damn table (I CAME CLOSE!!), until I got booted out of the place I was at.

Try it.
 

"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.

To update. I think that rally helped. I bought a $100 cue today, and I tested it out at a local place with a table.

I won 7 games in a row, lost 0. The fourth? game was a scratch on a bad angle bank shot that he wasn't going to get in anyways, the fifth was a 8ball gutter with balls left still and the last game by default (scratch on the 8ball sink)

Impressive I thinks, got compliments that I'm pretty good at pool, but when you can run 4 balls and win late game, it's good. It's all about angles, some ball control and taking your time with complete focus :D. I still consider that last game a loss, because I only won by default, but still, a great pool night for me, and I have a new toy cue to play with.

Oh, you want runs :)

Set yourself up a game like what I posted above and just play. Study where you aimmed and where the balls ended up. The point of throwing balls back onto the table is to encourage runs and a bit of ball control. I spent 2 and a half hours on one game, and the next day I ran those 7 straight games.

It's about practice and figuring out how your shot makes your ball go into the pocket you decide. :D

But, if you want to be quick about it (lol), Most longer angle shots, there's the ideal angle you'd hit it at, and then since I'm a harder player, I weaken my angle. I'll post a image as to what I mean.

Undercut.

It's just adjusting to my style of play. If you got a sharp angle, I strengthen it, or just clip it really.

Overcut.
 

"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.

Anyone who talks up their game that much can't have much to back it up...

For the living hell of it, I guess that assumes that Style doesn't have game, MM didn't have game at all, hell, let's go as far to say any 'professional' game player that speaks a word of how to play, or a certain way to do something, fvck, he's got no game.

If you want to insult someone, you got to do it properly. The way you insulted, doesn't work because I can turn it right back on you. You call me on having no game, I call you on having no game as well. All someone has to do is run a search, and OMG, you talk about something relating to the game. Damn! I guess if I got no game, you ain't no different at face value.



Onwards, I'm been told my cue looks very pretty, and it's performing to spec. I've been asked if I'm pro, or if I play tourny. It's kinda a little too much to ask that, I don't consider myself pro, I may be good, but there's a equal. Anyways, the first game I played against him, it was a pretty close 2 ball finish. The second game was a bit better, 4 balls of his still lied on the table, and I proceeded to sink them.

I should consider a tourny, to see exactly where I stand up, and so I can examine different styles of play. mmmm.

Still want to go with that 'no game' argument there A? Go nuts, I got your back.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
