"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Bummer for him, but I still would bet he didn't wait until the flame died down a bit and her true colors began to show before he knocked her up.

Not all women are like that. Not even super-hot ones. Take your time, and make your best choice.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Yes, it is a very good book, which I very much enjoyed reading.

Still thinking about that paragraph about a man's sexual partners & those to whom he's attracted being a reflection of his own self-esteem... at first thought, I think a distinction between FBs and relationship partners should be made.

As long as you see a distinction within you personal experiences that is all that matters. Not everyone will nor may want to see that difference. Good point though. :up:
