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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Probably posting with a second nick.We temp banned her (30 days) and she hasn't been back after her time-out expired.
Do you think she was representative of average women though? I don't think so at all. The reason so few women hang out among us beasts is that it is not in their nature to do so.
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.
Exactly... So you want a fish to tell you how to place your bait so you can catch it? Not going to happen. If that was the case, my 2 sisters would have help me get some of their sexy friends... That never happens.Why would you want a female with her opinions on a all male space?
Yeah because women do most of the shaming, name calling, psychological games. And mostly but lastly manipulation games within them. They can see this with out a doubt. While men give them exactly what they are looking for. Remember this....slut shaming didn’t came from men, it came from other women as intrasexual disqualificationIt isn't unheard of for women to hate each other, and to prefer the company of men.
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.
That’s a good thing, in some cases Mods have to delete posts and warn or ban members when they post inappropriate content before you can see it…I haven't seen any offensive behavior, I was just curious.
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.
Was it because she refused to show her rack? ;'pAbsolutely not. The reasons are private and between the mods and the members only. It's nobody else's business.
People get themselves banned for repeatedly violating rules that they agreed to when they signed up.
@Julian and @Kotaix, clearly you both need a reminder of the rules that you agreed to. They are posted for your review at the top of most of the forums. If you disagree I advise you to find another forum that better suites your temperament. You're free to stay or go.
