"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.

Women of all ages are wearing perfume again.
It's strange & ironic at the same time because I haven't smelled it on anyone in public since the mid 2000's.
It's like an entire generation of women never wore perfume. They completely stopped wearing it for more than a decade.

With the current mask laws, I think women are trying different and old school strategies to attract men again.

Have you noticed this too?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Having just been stationed in Europe for 2.5 years, and now back in the states, my cologne game is too strong for these women. They are behind the times and basic. Have a great no simp Sunday.

I've never noticed that women stopped wearing perfume. Maybe they learned that they shouldn't cake it on. If you're just out and about in public, you shouldn't really smell someone's perfume unless they have too much on. You can smell it if you're in close quarters or intimate. Maybe with Covid, they're putting extra on so you can smell it through the masks.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I wrote a post a while back about masks and women's value:


@Tilex
There's most certainly something going on. I honestly believe that women are experiencing a bit of a drought when it comes to attention and sex.
