"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.

Hey guys,

I've been reading a lot of stuff on this site recently and realising how stupid I've been. I'm amazed at all the stories of how hard it is to find a nice, attractive, intelligent girl. Everyone here seems to have been burned, lied to cheaten on or generally treated like shyt at some point in their lives. And I kinda wish I was in that situation. At least you guys have comfort in the fact that you're not to blame for the outcome.

I have had the opposite experience. All the girls I have been involved with (3 in particular) have been the most amazing, devoted, smart, ambitious, beautiful, honest, loyal sexy women I could imagine being with. But when I'm with them I totally lose sight of that and drag them through the mud until they let go. I am so angry at myself it's unreal. I have basically broken each girl's heart in turn until they just can't take it any more and I have destroyed any love they had for me.

I would like to point out that I am not physically abusive, and am generally very loving and caring in all departments except fidelity. I can't seem to control myself. Kinda starting to realise I have cronic self-esteem issues and am addicted to the kick of pulling a new girl. When I'm with a relationship I always think "But what if it's not for me? What if there's a better girl out there?" And then I systematically destroy the relationship.

Afterwards when I find myself alone I profile exactly what I'm looking for and think: "****. I already had it. And now I've lost it." To make matters worse my friends took the side of the last girl and one of my best friends is now IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER.

I'm pretty much fyking alone now. Let this be a lesson to you all. I'm 25 and aint getting younger.
 

"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.

I guess that is one way of looking at it.

I just can't help thinking that girls of that calibre aren't that easy to find, and how STUPID it was not to appreciate what I had when I had it. I don't want to settle for less. But what if I can't find it again? And worse, what if I blow it once I do?

What I'm feeling just now can only be described as terror.

Homey there are 6 billion people on this planet, which makes it roughly about 2 billion available women in the world. Lets say at least 1 billion are worth getting. Dont worry there are plenty more where those 3 came from.

I don't like your math...

6 Billion People
roughly 3 Billion Women
1 Billion married/involved

2 Billion Free... BUT if hes 25, he likely wants someone between 19 and 30... so that leaves 500 M.
Then on a scale of 1-10, the higher you get, the less their are.

SOOOO theres roughly 100 Million girls worth dating that are over 7's....

Sorry... just ahd a math exam....
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
