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.
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.
Good point,.. .is this yet another humblebrag thread?SteR said:lol this thread seems to be a "my e-penis is bigger than your e-penis"..
I started my own company in late 1996, hence the income explosion and subsequent crash. It was also a reflection of the dot com bubble.TillTheEndOfTime said:Why the big jump after 1997? Why didn't that happen in 1995?![]()
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Things in the economy were never the same since.
As far as telling girls what we make, I do it because I figure all they ever hear is BS and I want to prove myself, even if I don't compare to the lies of others.
And good point ka mate.

Problem is, it takes a reasonable, down-to-earth man to appreciate what 1.72% means. America doesn't make those anymore.ka_mate said:http://globalrichlist.com/
