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.
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.
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.

Just listen to what appeals to you, no matter who it comes from.

Suprised no-one else has said anything.
I give the best advice and best insight of any poster on this forum since its' inception! And yes this is an outlet for me for entertainment and humor - humor requires interaction!rrrrr said:every once in a while i think he gives decent advice but i think that this is mostly an outlet for him to give us his supposed humor.

LMS do you get the hors?
Yes, take from this forum what best suits you - differing views create more options. I am alone in my thinking so you need someone like me to offer that unique perspective!!Ace of Flames said:Why does it matter? A better question, why make a whole thread on it?

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.
Hmmmmmm, I thought you apoligized to me and made a truce but then here you go starting the name calling!!! One sentence of one my posts have more insight than all of your posts combined!!!lookyoung said:I understand what your saying. But, when you are starting a thread and trying to discuss a serious topic, He will invade your thread with stupid comments. It just seems like he is on this forum to poke fun at people for the most part. Very few of his posts are genuine. Imagine if everyone posted like this loser, the whole sosuave would be a joke. I think people should at least try to be courteous to one another.
I rather have a guy that uses bad languages, speaks up for himself, than have someone like LMS who 95% of the time never gives any serious advice. Personally if it was up to me this guy would be banned.
that sounds like retarded advice. i don't want to fill my mind with a bunch of crap some loser pulled out of his ass that has no basis in real world experience just cause i think it sounds nice then i go out and fall on my ass.Ace of Flames said:Why does it matter?

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.
If Last Man Standing is PRL, then you guys had better listen up. This is a guy that has excellent information, and he knows what he's talking about.
