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.
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.
"Dominate the sh*t out of a girl through text" - LoL, and WTF does that even mean?!? Are you texting stuff like "Yeah, b*tch, I'm the man, now come over here and take this date!" :crackup:PHAT Rabbit said:First off...texting to setup a date doesn't make a guy look like a chicken. That's horse shlt nonsense. You can dominate the shlt out of a girl through text. I just think you have no idea what you're talking about with text or you just never had success with it so you scrapped the whole idea.
I'm not advocating talking on the phone any more than I advocate texting. Real talk, unless I'm setting up a date with a chick, I don't do either one - that's right, people, I don't call girls up just to chat with them, or ask them how their date was, etc. For the most part, I stay off the phone - calling/texting them all the time makes me look too available.PHAT Rabbit said:Next, you can't fvck a phone number. What I'm saying is that...the whole point of getting contact information is to meetup later. Don't try to act like you're going to somehow magically make a girl love you for calling her on the phone a couple times - that's retarded.
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.
ah yeah that's right, be busy.. she's just testing me to see if i'm still available to her.. need her to up the ante, ie act like she's lost me.Greasy Pig said:Just say: "I'm doing stuff with a friend. Not sure when I'll be done."
Her: "A GIRL friend?" Or "Which friend?"
You: "Lol, who is this? The Gestapo?"
Be mysterious, don't cave in.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
do you think i messed it up by sending what i sent 'no i dont have a girlfriend'?ARrocket said:You really need to listen to this advice here - you're not going to get better this way.
My contribution: You're boring. You need to be fun.
HER: "it mean that your girl friend why you couldnt talk"
YOU: "no i don't have a girlfriend"
This is BORING. Try something like this:
"All 50 of them are here with me...But I'm getting rid of a few, because they suck at tennis"
Or ANYTHING. Remember: Take risks, don't care so much about the girl, and you WILL learn by doing. You will learn MUCH, MUCH more than you can learn from folks on this forum, no matter how many little green dots they have under their name.
i never took the calls though, is the fact that i responded with 'no i dont have a girlfriend.' enough to satisfy her massive ego?Atom Smasher said:What Harry said.
She was calling to reassure herself that you still like her, to feed her massive ego. Once that knowledge is gained, they can go back to treating you like crap again because their curiosity and need for attention are satisfied.
The ONLY way to discipline a woman is through removal of attention.
Aso, never, ever take what she says seriously. It's good to learn to "agree & amplify to show her you don't give a sh!t (and btw, you will also be showing yourself that you don't give a sh!t, cause you need to learn that).
Her: girlfriend comment
You: You know how it is, so many I've gotta beat 'em off with a stick...
You must always keep a women guessing. Don't think it's being cruel. They love it and it keeps them in their place, even if the verbally complain. What they say means zero.
