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.
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.
Wow. I'm going to agree with something LMS posted. Watch for the Apocalypse soon,..Last Man Standing said:No such thing as a "sex addiction" - more matrix shyt!!

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 agree. There was a thread about this not too long ago.Phyzzle said:The interviews were dumb, but that guy's system is as creepy as fvck.
He says you should go into a pub before a date, and offer the bartender huge tips to refer to the seltzer water you will be ordering as an alcoholic drink, and bill you as such, in case the girl takes a peek at the check. Of course, you'll also be paying him extra on the sly to mix her drinks extra strong.
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.
What is wrong with that? I will tell you from a DJ perspective what is wrong...ketostix said:Well if someone believes in the premise that what he's doing is wrong, then it's just as wrong for the females he's seducing. They know what the deal is. Classic example of women wanting and willingly being "hors" and then transfering all the blame and responsibility on the male.
I don't see what he's doing as being "creepy". I would put zero credibility in that one girl's statement, "He answered the door with his c0ck in his hand..".So what if he chooses not to drink but believes in creating the impression with his date that he is drinking? Whether he admitted he wasn't drinking or does not, either way he's not getting drunk. He's just putting on appearances. How is that any different than a woman wearing make-up to look better, high heels to look taller etc? As far as keeping a spreadsheet, what's so wrong with keeping notes to help in remembering various details. When you have a lot of information to keep straight, people write it down for all sorts of other things. Why is this different? If your going to spend many plates and your memory isn't the best, it comes with the territory.
Totally agree on the dinner part.Poonani Maker said:I like what Janka says about the mass text-messaging in the afternoon while you're real busy at work. He's adamant in saying nothing until after you've fvcked her, thus leaving her to her imagination, whether romantic or not, of you. We could never dream up the things that these soap-opera watching chicks dream up, so why not let em do it? And keep our mouths shut about ourselves despite our accomplishments. I like the lounge thing too. Eating does lead to the woman ordering everything on the menu and getting bloated. Amen.
The guy is THIRTY years old. That makes him MATURE. He is not a 20 year old kid, pretending to be a mature man.wolf116 said:Why do you people keep posting threads in the mature man section when they have nothing to do with mature men!
And why are you posting in the MM section when you are NOT a mature man?wolf116 said:Why do you people keep posting threads in the mature man section when they have nothing to do with mature men!
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
