She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Definately a gold digger mate...retired_dude said:I don't understand his language. My girlfriend just turned 20 last weekend and I am 58. We are perfect together. Maybe it is because I have never been married, but I feel and look better now than when I was 25. Man is made to reproduce until death. Simple as that.

""Under particular circumstances, high socio-economic status in males can be subtly counter-productive in terms of attractiveness as a long-term partner."
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.
Agrees. Women may deep down want or prefer attractive men but they still might end with less than attractive guys for whatever reasons.bigjohnson said:Also notice they ASKED THE WOMEN WHAT THEY WANTED. Are you all really dumb enough to think the "study" is worth the paper it's printed on with a data collection system like that? What they should do is have a look at the guys these women have recently dated. I'd bet the actual results of THAT would only slightly resemble this "study".
Dear god...billy007 said:come on think about it its both looks and money ... if ur filthy rich then looks doesnt matter...
overall id say a bit of both...
money = 60%
looks= 30%
social status = 10%
That is because a good man is harder to find than an attractive woman. A woman who attracts lots of men is a dime a dozen. A man who attracts lots of women is one in a million.greedydonn said:Agrees.

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.
