"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If any of you ever took any psychology classes in high school or in college you are familiar with Sigmund Freud and some of his wierd theories. However, I do think one of them is correct due to first hand experience.

I suffer from an anxiety disorder known as OCD. OCD is characterized by intrusive, unwanted, persistant thoughts that are accompanied by anxiety. These thoughts are bizarre, a product of one's own mind (unlike schizophrenia) and usually not related to real life problems. (e.g. a person has obessions about germs, but feels to need to wash his hands 50X a day, eventhough deep down he knows it is ridiculous).

Well...to get to my point. I remember Freud mentioned something about a person who had disturbing thoughts about stealing. Freud said these thoughts are triggerred due to the persons unconscious guilt about masterbation. Once the person ceases masterbating, the thoughts ceased or were seriously abated.

I notice, when I do not wack it (I am on my 4th day now) my anxiety disorder gets much better and I do not suffer from unwanted repetitive thoughts as much. I think Freud was definitely onto something.......
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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 dunno man, youre saying that you felt guilty about masturbating which resulted in OCD? How would guilt about masturbating result in anxiety or something else?

I'm autistic and it's similar to OCD in that I have obsessive and ritualistic thoughts, except the obsessions are transient. I can be obsessed about something for a day, week, month, or even years, and then I will move onto thinking about something else. My current fixation is DJing—of the music variety. But however, I don't find any correlation between repetitive thoughts and not exercising the good ole relief valve. The few times I've gone without, I do seem to be somewhat more relaxed, but with no noticeable change of repetitions. If anything, I would wager my bets that it's more likely an issue of physiology than psychology.
 

"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.
