"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.

lol. Why do you say that bro? At certain times I have no problem making fun of my self. Or I could use it and switch it around to use it on a girl, while indirectly making fun of her.kody_starr said:It's posts like these which give strong credence to the idea that the internet does more harm than good.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
The last time I heard something about my height was a bar where this jealous 6'2 guy was mad that I was hitting on one of the girls at his table. He started bragging about how he could pull any chic in the place...I said what's your secret bro, he replied, Get tall like me and you'll know! I retorted with, 'well that's not gonna happen, I guess I'm just gonna have to settle for being charming and good looking'. Needless to say he was even more pissed when the girls laughed at that.
Never put yourself down. Ever.

Not bad bro, not bad. Thanks for the advice.Warrior74 said:Self depreciating humor is for those who are above average to bring themselves down to normal and for stand up comedians. Otherwise its just pointing out that you are uncomfortable with yourself and are trying to disarm the situation preemptively by making a joke out of it when nobody even brought it up. Fix your inner game issues. I'm 5'8 and rarely get called short, I don't overcompensate nor do I joke on myself. I carry myself with respect, you should do the same.

BTW at 5'8 you're not short. You're only two inches from average and taller than 95% of women. I'm 5'6 so...I'm going to stop there before I say anything else.
