Sometimes, you just need to get a thought off your head.
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.

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.

Took the kid to go see Elysium tonight....let me tell you, I like Matt Damon, If I was gay I'm sure I'd be jerking it to him. That being said, it was the biggest cliche filled, over endulged, piece of $hit movie I ever saw. I can't see how these actors constantly get put in these $hit movies, then somehow go on with their lives. It was a joke. Fvcking crap.
EDIT: and how come the moderator's forum never has any posts in it? Don't they want to talk about moderator stuff???
The posts are shy - they run and hide unless you sing them nursery rhymes.Peaks&Valleys said:EDIT: and how come the moderator's forum never has any posts in it? Don't they want to talk about moderator stuff???
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.
No, you're pretty much like a good friend of mine. He just wants to get laid. And he gets mad at me when I don't want to go out and meet a set of 5's. I tell him: "I'd like to help you out buddy, and be a wing man and take one for the team, but the girl you're trying to get is also a 5. The jumping on the grenade rule doesn't apply here. Unlike you, my d1ck doesn't move when I look at a 5 walking across the room."BeginningDJ said:Am I the only one here that takes the path of least resistance?
Let's say you were at a bar and knew this HB6 would bang. On the other hand, there is an 8 that you might have a shot with, but takes much more work and it's 50/50. Which would you go after?
Your scale or my scale?BeginningDJ said:Fighting words Weak&Amputee,
If you have those high standards, I absolutely congratulate you to come home with d!ck in hand. I'm glad that you can pass up a guaranteed 6. Maybe you don't like random fvcks and looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with?
My HB6 (would bang)Peaks&Valleys said:I've seen what you consider an HB10...and let me tell you, I'd hate to see what you consider and HB6.

Wait 12 years.BeginningDJ said:I don't rate woman in their 30's or with kids.
To be the same age as you?Peaks&Valleys said:Wait 12 years.
That chick seemed like a solid 6, could be a 7 if her body was on point. Either way....yes.
Yes, of course. I just get along with more mature women though, you know, women my age. Most of them have some baggage, it's okay though, so do IBeginningDJ said:To be the same age as you?
I'll openly ask you now, do you not think you can attract an HB7 with no kids or baggage?
Are you always b1tching and crying? Seriously??BeginningDJ said:Damn, that gives me fvcking motivation for the future...Dude you are such a buzzkill!
Are you telling me that women in their 20's are nearly off limits for men in their late 30's? Jesus christ, if that's the case, I'm dedicating myself to going out 8 nights a week!
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.
