How many of you have seen or known a "hottie" from the past who now looks like crap? Ever been in "love" with the "perfect" woman from afar or in real life and seen her years later and thought to yourself: "WTF was I thinking?!"
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.
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.
Ain't that the truth. You should see all my co-workers' wives. Ugh. I'll say under my breath, "Is This your Wife!?" - signed, Happily Singlespinaroonie said:Men age like wine.
Women age like milk.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You were thinking that you wanted to bang her when she was in her 'hot' stage , and now her "inner beauty" doesn't get you hard?Naughty Ninja said:How many of you have seen or known a "hottie" from the past who now looks like crap?

I've actually been going out with someone just LIKE THIS.zekko said:This works in reverse too.
I remember several girls in high school who were considered ugs, but then a few years later transformed into some pretty smoking hot babes. Meanwhile, the cheeleader who was the prettiest girl in school had put on major pounds and blimped out. Sometimes life has a funny way of evening things out.
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.

That is if you only care about looks. Like other posters said this can work in reverse. Get to know women before you put the pvssy on a pedestal or decide they aren't up to your 'looks' standards.
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.
