"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.

You can't send a message larger than 1000 characters. I think some people (myself included) may find that its a too small.

Sometimes I find my message too large, and have to divide it in 2 parts, which is awfully annoying.

How about changing it to 3000 characters??? This small change will make significant improvements.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Why would Allen want to devote THAT much disk space to discussions that the group is not seeing? I think to do that he would be acting as a public doormat and since women are turned off by that characteristic in men I put it high on the list of attitudes to avoid. If the PM discussions are that in-depth, just take it to e-mail.

I second that. PM should be messages - not a book.

PDX - your own post is 818 characters long. And you didnt post a book.

1000 Characters is 2 small paragraphs, and when you get a message that tells you to cut it in half, its annoying.

Obviously you haven't used the feature yet. Otherwise you'd want to lengther it.

THAT MUCH???? :) Just how much??? :( I still send the same amount of text, I just divide it into 2 messages. And even if it increased the prectious disk space, it would be +5 mb of text. ;)

PDX, this is a forum. From the very beginning to this moment there is about 500 mb of text MAXIMUM (maybe 1 gb). All posts combined together. All of them, starting with the very 1st guys.
 

"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.

I have decided to increase the allowable length to 2500 characters. Keep in mind that you can only maintain 30 PMs at one time. More than that will bounce, so you'll want to keep your Inbox and Sent folders as empty as possible. If they're important then save them to your computer.

I've used it quite a bit already.

Well, yeah. I was just envisioning a situation where people started have these really long discussions in PM's as if it were e-mail. I have had a lot of private e-mail discussions on seduction and I know they can get quite long. If Allen were faced with providing disk space for a significant number of people doing that, it would add up.

But in any case, Allen has lengthened it, so that's cool
