Disgusting. Cannot stand the smell that lingers on them no matter how careful they are or how much they try to get rid of it.
"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I couldn't properly date a woman who smoked. It would get on my nerves and, worse, I'd end up smoking when drunk or whatever on account of being around it.
I couldn't care less for a hookup, though. I've found that girls who smoke are often more down for hooking up on the first night. I also smoke weed occasionally and have used that many times to pull, so I can hardly judge.

against the grain, girl I spent time with before smoked often. the taste and atmosphere were a bit of a turn ON. otherwise, she was clean. in this case, the smoke added something to the situation.
yes, smoking is bad according to the surgeon general and so on. the actual effects of nicotine are positive and calming for ppl that are moody. probably partly why it is addictive, most things that make a person feel better are addictive.

Smoking is on my dealbreaker list. That being said, I smoked for over 20 years, hand rollies, no filters. Quitting was one of the hardest things I ever did. I just could not leave them alone. I finally used Wellbutrin to get off them. I started again twice and finally put them down, hopefully for good eight years ago. I love, love, love nicotine and don’t ever want to be a slave to it again. Nowadays I think it stinks and don’t want to be tempted so won’t date a smoker.

"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.

Not thrilled with smokers. But not a dealbreaker.
Logically you are right.
I’m the other way. Tattoos turn me off but smoking, as long as she is remotely hot and fertile, is OK. As long as it’s not a pack a day.
