"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Time to have a bump. I think.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Nothing more important than preserving your self respect and dignity.... I had forgotten how easy it is to be manipulated by those gooey love y dovey type feelings ...I was completely indifferent before I met thus chick....and there's definitely a direct correlation with how hot the chick is to those delusional feelings.....when u think about it just add 20 pounds fat in her abd those feelings would vanish quickly.... there fore it's stupid to be dictated by those phony feelings...all women are the same regardless of looks....that's how u have to see it....I'm telling this chick tonight to go meet other guys and have a nice life if she pulls the 2 week break thing again

Great posts, reminds me of two quotes. The first I don't know the origin of: Women are like monkeys: they firmly grasp the next branch before letting go of the current one. The second is from Athol Kay: "When the lines of communication are cut, you aren't going to receive a message saying that the lines are cut. That's what the lines of communication being cut means".

'Take a break'....?

Pfft. TMK says, 'Yeah sweetheart. You take your break.' Then I go down the pub with the lads the next Friday night to chat up other chicks.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

There have been previous threads on this topic. Basically, most people here will agree that the relationship was over long before she ever says anything about "taking a break" or even flat out breaking up with you.

The comments about the change in behavior are spot on. It always plays out that way. When the girl starts getting distant and moody with you for no reason, you are about to get dumped in a few weeks.
This. I think too many guys on here jump ship with the whole " shes distant she must be cheating on me" thing. ITs ****ing rediculous.....All hot women have orbiters but it doesn't necessarily mean there was another guy...if you fellas catch my drift.

If the chick breaks up with you and doesn't beg you or try damn hard to get you to take her back down the road when she's single , there is a chance there wasn't anyone else she just lost attraction to you. You guys who all want your exes to come running back to you be careful for what you wish for.

The best part is when she calls you and tells you that she's ready and wants the break to be finished and you tell her:

''I kinda like this break thing, I think I might stay on it'' *click*

Very solid advice purefilth ;)

Also lets not forget the "argue tactic" where she takes a minor problem and use it to create a conflict which justify the following breaking up.

She decides to break but wants to leave the blame on you so just wait for a minor fact and use it as a bridge.

You forget to tell her that you had a drink with the guys and boom, she screams that you dont respect her and you dont communicate therefore its necesarry the "break" that Op talked about.

Even more funny is when she pisses you off on purpose and when you react she screams back that you mistreat her and you dont love her anymore and she has no other choice than leave.

Its all the same sh1t just with different option.
I had this same situation with my recent ex of 4 months.. this girl kept making dramas out of minor issues that can be resolved with some communication.

Where as she did not ask for a break, she pulled away and stopped talking, and escalating the problem

Week later i decided to next her and walk away!! Not hanging around to be humiliated, or to be treated like sh@t...
 

"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.

I think that you can easily sense when she starts losing love for you so you can blow her off first no questions asked.


If you feel this way just break up, no your gut is not wrong, no you cant rationalise the behaviours, no it will not get better.

Just walk away and be the "bad guy who left his GF", this position is more convenient for both of you. Breaking up is male bussiness and when you leave it to the women they will pull the stupidest **** possible.
