You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
31 years man. I'm willing to bet, ALL women go down that road they shouldn't eventually.Real_Deal said:Any woman being that stupid should get dumped and be walking out the door ten seconds after that crap comes out her mouth.
Yeah, those newagers banned me for outing a mod.azanon said:I smell something fishy here. Two folks with March/April 08' join dates saying never to smack your woman. You guys/gals from LS?
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.
I see you're from Memphis. I was born and raised in Memphis, the wrestling capital of the world. Sometimes you gotta lay a smackdown on your woman. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Is0oHPL-nisDa Realist said:Isn't acting out just on your emotions a female trait? If you need to smack a woman around like she's a dude, you don't deserve respect anyway.

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.
To be fair, his fear might be of homosexual behavior, not of certain individuals who practice the behavior.Da Realist said:Not a guy who runs when he sees gay folks....
What?! Are you saying that you would smack a child?Luthor Rex said:A long time ago I would have said "never smack a woman"...
Now that I understand how most women are actually children trapped inside of an adult's body, I'm not so sure.
Maybe a spanking on the butt like her daddy did.
edit: Actually, if I were ever in a relationship with a woman and I felt the need to smack her, I think I'd just end the relationship.
Papermoon said:I wouldn't consider wearing leather tights if he had recommended them, so why should I take any hint from him on anything else?
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.
Think about the Caveman, dudes..... how did caveman keep his chick(s) on check? hair pulling, a few smacks, etcParadox said:It seems like he doesn't just haul off when he feels like it. He says in the interview that she provokes him.Do some women desire and need this? Whatever the reason the women take actions to bring on this punishment. Could it be that they miss their fathers dicipline, need attention, want a man to take control of them....ect?31 years is a long time especially for a hollywood superstar. He has done over 60 movies.
