Master Don Juan
Go pound the benchpress, rip apart the squat rack, pick up your helmet and get back in the field!
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Terrible advice, Davey boy.This is perspective. The girl is a nobody.
Valuable so much as in a brief footnote in your story.
"Chin up. There are plenty more fish in the sea". Boring, but completely right. It's a scarcity issue.
You are the value. Women are so replaceable that it's absurd
You've merely lost perspective. You'll gain it back soon enough.
Am I on ignore or not........Is this thread about @Konada 's problems, or yours?
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.
Smart people don't let that happen.So what happens when/if the money runs out?
LOLWhen I was last feeling like this, speaking with other women was hugely enjoyable.
Didn't even have any intention of escalating. Just enjoyed flirting. Gaining back perspective after a case of oneitis in a light-hearted manner.
Of course, you can disagree. But the constant long drawn-out personal attacks are typical of a spiteful little man.
As I told you before, the difference between the caring and uncaring arsehole.

Google "Heartiste uncaring *ssholery".
You Sir, are most certainly the former. Not good.
MGTARDS say "mgtow" is whatever you want it to be while needing to label it.Terrible advice, Davey boy.
Endorsing that he get back in the field asap shows you don't understand where the guy is coming from and shows
a real lack of world experience and understanding. I'm surprised you didn't send a link from Chateau Heartiste to back up what you're saying...
Clearly your experience comes from reading blogs and banging on your keyboard......and following the other mgtow extremist like his
little lap dog endorsing everything he says.....oh wait......
The guy has just wrote a thread entitled "So I just got my heart ripped to shreds...", so he's obviously emotionally fragile right now....going
right back out an gaming is probably not the best solution for him right now.
I know Davey boy (erroneously ) believes he's giving value......but he's wrong. Why? Value is like currency. People view value in different ways according to their needs and wants. It's like if Davey took his English pounds and went to France (hypothetically speaking, if he were ever to travel outside of his village. Imagine) and he tried to use his English pounds. To him the English pounds are valuable, but to the French they are worthless. The value they want are Euros....
...just like when he gives advice based on his sexual strategy and paradigm of the world. To him it seems valuable....for normal fully functioning people it's worthless. (for example people who work don't have the time to stand outside their local supermarket eating a sandwich and approaching a hot woman every 2 minutes............whether that's real or make believe is beside the point)
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.
Bro, you probably don't see it now, but what you're going through now is the exact process by which you reach the kind of mindset above. Every time you get over something that hurts, it provides proof to your mind that you get over things & nothing really changes. The problem is that most people will use whatever rationalizations ("I didn't really like her anyway," "She was a slvt") to never face the real pain of rejection ("Why don't I feel like I'm enough?").Take away your options. What are you? Take away your money. What are you? Basing your self-esteem on external material rather than what your abilities can manifest is just a temporary band-aid to the void all of us have. As per spinning plates. Not many can say when they are stripped down to their bare-d!ck that they are enough. If you want to talk about value, it is this. Not your money, not your options. Those are all but manifestations of your inner abilities.
To be honest and I will definitely get roasted for this. Sex was the last thing on my mind when we were making out, albeit it got a little more intense than last time. I just can't wrap my head around how she can pull a 180 so fast.Sigh. Well that sucks. You wanted sex and she wants to save her chastity for the man she marries. She is principled. Her virginity matters to her. So many here are so jaded they can't see that such a woman might really exist. They don't acknowledge such a woman's value.
There exist such women. This one has dismissed you as too sexually pushy.
You valued her principles in spite of yourself and you realize she is a rare bird. It hurts that someone who values themselves does not also value you....
But alas you wanted different things. She knows you value sex more than you value her commitment to remain chaste. So you are fundamentally incompatible in her mind & she has withdrawn.
You are young yet & don't realize how rare a girl this is. And that is OK.
Men who think every woman has sex prior to marriage are mostly correct...but even very experienced men don't know what to do with women like this. That's how rare such women are as you get older. So running into a woman who is actually serious about her virginity throws men for a loop.
Women like this are the most sought after. She knows it. She will exchange her chastity for a serious commitment/marriage and she is not going to settle. I am teaching my girls the same. I'm sorry this happened but I'm not shocked.
Take your time & get over it. You'll be OK.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
