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.
HAHA, don't believe everything that you read kid - you have to put it in context -- I was joking with Dj Nasman on his thread because he was a "know-it-all - read the whole thread!Nexxus said:I ain't ethiopian but at least you know where it is (just livin' there until the end of hs), good luck bangin' an ethiopian ***** btw cuz they're way harder than the easy hoes in the US... shiiit they so easy, I got a 25 yr old in the US, you're 44 and you ain't got ****, kinda sad
I wasn't tryin to be mean, it's just I wouldn't listen to your advice ever even if what you said was true since you been lookin for ***** for a lifetime and still haven't got it, you set ya standards too high or what?
You're a pretty nice lookin' dude there Cod3r. I bet the chicks really dig you thick lips. That's just an observation btw; i'm not trying to be gay or anything, lol.Cod3r said:While ago, but not much changed

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.
Nice looking dude? The guy looks like a fvcking transvestite. LOLazanon said:You're a pretty nice lookin' dude there Cod3r. I bet the chicks really dig you thick lips. That's just an observation btw; i'm not trying to be gay or anything, lol.

I can see why you would say that (Burly, tough guy marine). He's your physical opposite. Fortunately, or unfortunately, some girls like the former, some like the latter. Its just not a strong discriminating factor for them though.Mr_knowit_all said:Nice looking dude? The guy looks like a fvcking transvestite. LOL
And he's the one getting all the hot, white tail? Where was the "hot white chick" in the pic? I want to apologize though, I was wrong. You don't look like Urkel, this bytch looks like "Huggie bear" from Starsky and Hutch...

Most guys want to be really big, so i can understand your mistaken rating for Cod3r. I agree with your rating for Mr. know it all though.lookyoung said:He is not really goodlooking he is a 6 at best, but is more like a 5. Mr know it all is 8 face 10 body, so he is a 9.
Not too sound like a hater but I have been in the weightlifting game for years and no one can get as big as him without doing steroids. I am sure he will never admit it, then again he is a marine and the tough guy so he will tell us because he doesn't care what everyone thinks. He may admit that he took deca, dbol and test
Michael Dell and Bill Gates would find that statement entertaining.Education is not a MANS confidence builder, It is only a requirement.

Just realize its not quite as rare as you might think. Those are billionairre examples. But I personally know a handfull of individuals that found a niche, exploited it (small business owner), and now pull in 6 figures+. At least 1 in 10 people smart enough to go to college, are innovative enough to not even need it. For these select people, they actually see college as a crutch to make it in life.Mr_knowit_all said:There's always an exception to the rule, but generally if one wants to be successful, education is a requirement.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
You'll have to forgive me, but i don't see anyone that suggested it was easy. As i just admitted, I didn't go that route. But I do know people that have; people apparently more innovative than I am.BustedKnucks said:If it were that easy to pull 6 figures without going to college, why would anyone go to college?
