"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.

Street Smarts

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Mostly just stay away from bad situations where you are outnumbered. Being alone is always bad.

Street fighting is ugly and dirty, and should be avoided at all costs. If you want to know if you are any good at fighting, then pick a martial art or train mma in a regulated and supervised environment. You will find that the guys who are the real bad-asses are quiet and humble people who would walk away from a street or bar fight. They just laugh the other guy off and the other guy almost always senses the confidence and lack of fear, and his own self-preservation instinct will kick in and make him back down.

street smarts is simply gained by experince. no one can teach you, you gotta live it. also having street smarts won't save you from any fights, but it will teach you how to notice and observe a potential dangerous situation. Never being alone is useless-you don't need others as a crutch-be ur own man...plus you can have a group of 4-If i am alone and have a gun...well you get the point!

Fights are almost always an irrelevant factor. This is some excuse men use to avoid approaching a woman or to not do something.

95 times out of 100 an actual fight will not break out. Most guys just don't want to feel disrespected. SOme guys are so bad off the only way they can feel any sense of power at all is to try intimidating other guys. These men are irrelevant lil weenies. They have no women in their lives, they own no hotels, bars, etc of interest. Basically, they have nothing to offer you or anyone else, so what they want is not important sad to say.

Just ignore them. If worst comes to worst call the police. Spend time fvcking women & making money, not worrying over who can win a fight.

You get street smart either when someone teaches you the ropes, which is rare or when you get fvcked over by people to learn from your mistakes.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

HAHA WOW.
You get street smarts by experience, real life situations, where you make mistakes, and DO NOT repeat those mistakes, thus increasing your
"street IQ". You guys talk about fighting? No, you wanna be that guy who people already respect, who no body fvcks with in the first place.

Aight good
but dawg listen, my response won't tell you anything, or anyone's response, because you have to get out there and try what's good, whats bad, and what's just... "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do". Up until a year or two ago, at times people would make rude comments, I would feel bad, etc. Now no one even looks at me wrong, and yet I have alot of friends.

Definitely hit the gym to begin with, and eat alot of healthy foods. No steroids, at least not yet.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If you don't want people to be f***in with you, take some advice from 50 Cent. I grew up in a bad part of Houston. My high school was on CNN for gang violence. Listen to me when I tell you that 50 Cent has the right idea:

50 Cent said:
In my neighborhood if you're too aggressive, you intimidate someone, they kill you. Or if you decide to be emotional and you start crying, you're a victim. You know, the kid in the schoolyard that doesn't want to fight always leaves with a black eye. You have to find a way to stay in the middle, somewhere where people just don't mess with you because they know that you don't have a problem with it if it goes there.

I've been in a similar environment - and completely agree with deacon - dont be a bytch, and dont be the dumb as$ who LOOKS for trouble. Be the guy who's cool, who people don't mess with.
