Alone and broke, you say? "Great, I've got drinks at my place and room for two."
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
Your problem is that you are trying to get that particular girl, to do something that will impress her. The fact that she's being a brat when you don't give her her way (which is giving into her manipulations and getting nothing in return) should be your first sign that you want nothing to do with this woman.randomusername said:the worst is when they hint..once this girl said to me, "i'm thirsty".
I point at the bar and told her "yeah, I think you can order a water from the bartender".
she looked at me pissed and walked away.
I have bought a drink for girls before, but every time she had bought me at least a round too. Blind buying of drinks? hell no.
Damn, I should have used that but, she'd have to leave the this morning and not steal anything. I try to remember to lock up my valuables before I go out and I usually try to get it back to her place for sex not mine, if possible.baffledking said:Alone and broke, you say?

i never really thought much about it, it just happened when I was at a happy hour. i've got a good memory.Dynamic said:Your problem is that you are trying to get that particular girl, to do something that will impress her.

I'm guessing that your game was weak that night anyway, most women don't try to manipulate a strong male presence. Your actions and that you are even thinking about it anymore are evidence.
Believe you can have any woman you want. Whatever it takes to do that... do it. Then you will consciously stay away from such women because you'll be too busy seducing the cream of the crop.
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.
