"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.

its not a race boys. take every experience and try and learn from it. you are at your own pace. sure you will hit bumps but we all do. do not ***** and whine. control your emotions. you are a man. a man who has experienced ups and downs in all of his endeavors.

thats it im out.
It may not be a race but we are only young once, don't want to waste of our prime years
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I understand some of these guy's plights all too well. Women are not the source of your happiness, they are merely a reflection back that compliments what you are.

Their priority becomes a curse that you pretend is a cure; a distraction that you qualify as a destination; and the longer you paint yourself by their brush strokes, rather than learn to paint yourself as you like, by your own hand, then you will keep being disappointed by the portrait reflecting back.

You gotta brake free and love what you do that makes you love being you.

Approaching girls and getting shot down isn't good advice. It makes you more lonely and you end up on SOS on Friday night.
I give up on you.

You seriously believe a man is in his prime at any age?
Why not?

I was implying that are you saying that a man is in his prime at any age but a woman is not

Well, yeah.

Even biologically, it makes sense. A man can produce children into his 40's, 50's...maybe even 60's. Women start having trouble bearing kids around late 30's, early 40's.

And from an attractiveness standpoint, women often prefer an older man. Age in men represents maturity, confidence, and the ability to provide. Age in women represents....well, I don't know because I'm too busy looking at younger women.

This doesn't mean that any fat arse middle aged man sitting on his couch is "in his prime." But if you're an older dude who actually takes care of himself and has established some level of success in life, you can extend your "prime" well into your 50's and 60's.

I definetley understand women being attracted to men that have providership capabilities, but how does a mans confidence increase with age, what usually makes it increase with age? and what is maturity to women, like what is a more mature man in a womans perspective specifically?
 

"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.
