"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Here are signs which girls might give you if they're attracted to ya:

1) Smile a lot at ya

2) Laugh at all your jokes, even if they're not funny

3) Make lots of eye contact

4) Pupils dilate when looking at you (they dilate naturally though when you drunk or are in dark light)

5) Touch you - like holding your hand or hugging you etc.

6) Brush hair often when chatting to you (could be ambiguous coz they may just be oing it naturally, on the other hand, they could be flustered and nervous)

7) Arms aren't crossed when talking to you

8) Seems jealous when you flirt with other girls

9) Asks your friends about you

10) Tries to make friends with your friends

11) Phones you up and generally wants to be with you


Anyone able to think of more signs? Please post here!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

guys

I've noticed when i'm at the bar, every girl i talk to has dilated pupils. I know i'm good looking, however i realize that every girl isn't going to be interested in me!

Can you experts fill me in?

Bars are a dark place and most eyes are dilated. It may be hard to recognize the affects of the dark from the affects of interest.

CobraGT is right. Also, alcohol will also cause the pupils to dilate. What matters most is whether they dilate more than they are normally. Try to judge her normal dilation when she's talking to a friend, ordering a drink, or looking away for a while.

Not completely true here,Makaveli.

Some women may be showing you all these signs of attractions in a way to lead you on.

So your signs are not realible.!


Have a nice day!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Ok, so it might be true that they may be leading you on with those signs too, but some of them are given out by girls who find you attractive. You've just got to learn to differentiate between the girls who are leading you on and the sincere ones.

They are reliable

I honestly don't think it's possible to find out if they're leading you on or not, unless you ask for their number, they give it, then they go out on a date with you. If they do that, it shows they're interested in you.

I don't think that's a good answer , Makaveli.

There are many professional daters outside and you cannot expect them to be that innocent.!

Your signs of attraction list is GOOD!,but it is not good enough to weed out those that are not interested in us.!
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

If only the moderator could moderate his own insecurity.

Great post.

If a girl has sex with you, this is a signal that she may, possibly, maybe, perhaps be interested in you.

Or maybe it is heavy LSD use and she hallucinated you into Brad Pitt. That would explain the sex.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It shouldn't be that difficult to differentiate between girls who are really interested and those who are trying to lead you on.

First, if a girl has sex with you, it doesn't necessarily mean she's interested... she could be using you for sex! (really, there are sluts out there like that!)

Now, I'd expect that if a girl is leading you on, she probably doesn't give a #$@% about her behavior around you. Therefore, watch out for girls who are totally at ease and not at all nervous! Why? Because, if a girl is nervous, you give her that thrill that she had better be her best around you or you'll totally diss her!

There are also differences in flirting between player girls and genuinely interested girls. Player girls tend to flirt more, especially more in public. Interested girls try to get your attention more in private or clandestinely. It's that feeling that she's trying to share a little something with you and you only. Strictly Confidential, in other words.

I know. I was alluding to that when I wrote the whole "may, possibly, maybe, perhaps" thing.

I realize this post is old. But, something about the whole pupils dilating thing.

I think that we all recognize this subconciously. I could always tell by the 'way' a girl looked at me if she liked me. Reading about the pupils dilating just sorta clarified it for me.

So I wouldn't concentrate too much on pupil size, more on the general way she is lookin at ya. Sorry if this is too vague.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
