"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.

My Hypothesis is that:

If you know your game,

I think its actually going to be easier to pick up women in a recession...



I think the combination of two forces, the winter and the financial climate makes them more willing to hunker down and 'bring down those ***** shields' a little and get to know you better,

because

1) what else is she going to do ? ( she has no job)

2) times are tough, you can just go and bounce around to the next guy who has a job. ( afterall there arent many guys who have jobs and are available)

3) the outlook is grim, she has to think about her future, she needs to look for a guy to settle down with, previously she'd probably just get a job and be a independent, but because of the economic climate , it is forceing her to consider her options better when a guy approaches


further more, the economy is still going ot get worse, economists are expecting 10 % by the end of next year..

any opinions? Is there a correlation, do I have it backwards?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Ridiculous. Where in the world did you get this idea from? What does a recession have to do with dating? All the things necessary to attract a woman when economic times are good are still essential when times get rough. If what you're saying is true,then all a guy would have to do is go to a poor part of the country and get a girl. Of all the things taught here on this forum,I don't recall seeing anything about something extra you have to do in a recession. Do you think it will be easier to pick up a "10" in a recession than when we're not in one? You still need to be and possess all the things the DJ bible teaches about being masculine,confident,self-respecting,having a willingness to walk away,ect. I once saw this show on cable called "Millionaire Matchmaker" where the head of a matchmaking service for millionaires hooked up a guy who makes millions of dollars with a beautiful,beautiful woman. She was like a "9". Anyway,on the date the guy even though he was a millionaire was behaving totally afc. He was nervous,he over and over again kept telling the woman she was hot. I mean over and over again. At the end of the date,the lady who matched them up has a solo post interview with the woman first,then later with the guy. Well surprise,surprise. She didn't want to go out with him again. When she was explaining why she wasn't interested in the guy,she said that he kept telling her that she was beautiful again and again to the point where it made her uncomfortable. So she turned him down.A millionaire!!!

I kinda see where you're coming from with this,but I don't think a recession will make a woman more open or receptive to a guy. I mean what's he going to do? Ask a woman out,she says no,then he says,"but hey don't you know we're in a economic downturn right now? Inflation,people losing their jobs,getting laid off,major corporations needing bailouts,ect. Then after telling her all this bad news,she goes,"Wow,I'm so turned on right now. Alright,alright. I can't resist you any longer. Sure,we can go out".

What kind of sense does that make?

the guy in your example had no game.
All I am saying is that if you know the game, i think you can use the recession to your advantage. You feel more powerful when times are tough yet you are still able to produce. that is like a peacocks tail and I think you can demostrate some real power in and of itself.

OK,what if you're one of the people who gets hit directly by the recession? Say you get laid off or completely lose you job. I doubt this will make you feel more powerful.

But I'm curious. Can you give an example of what a guy could do in a recession that he would not need to do under normal economic circumstances? An example of what would make him feel more powerful?

Oh,I've got to see this.:rolleyes:

Why in nature is a males peacocks tail so flamboyant?

because if a male peacock is able to survive with that huge tail, it means he has good genes because he can survive even with a handicap.

Times are tough now, it should be a handicap for most people , yet this male guy is able to afford to goto high end restuarants , drive nice cars, it must mean that there is something special , good survival skills.
 

"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.

If you want a superficial girl, then OK. But as mentioned 100 times before on this site, girls deal with their emotions. If you can afford to go to high end restaurants, drive a Mercedes, and have a nice place to live, it's not going to get you anywhere in her pants if you sit at home Friday and Saturday nights watching t.v. Any good looking girl would take a guy who is exciting, adventurous and shows her how to have fun over a guy who is a millionaire but has no friends, recession or not.

Igetit is 110% right.
