"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.

Yo.
I was thinking of throwing a part of my next paycheck to get a tattoo on my shoulder. Don't know exactly what yet, I have a few ideas in mind but nothing definitive. So, which one of you guys has a tattoo? Are you happy with it? Are you planning on getting more? How have people reacted to your tattoos generally?
 

"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.

Get something symbolic of you.

Tribal Tattoos - Overrated
Barbed Wire - Tat Artists Hate It


Get with your local tattoo artist, see if you can sit down and get some ideas about something that is TRULY you. Remember, its more or less permanent. I know people who have had tattoos covered or "removed" because they didnt like them. It leaves them with large scars or areas of dark ink on their skin. My brother in law has tats all over his legs, back, chest, stomach, and upper arms. He's had a few covered, and people react differently. Some like it, some look awkwardly at him.

Yeah, tribal tattoos, barbed wires and kanjis (chinese glyphs) are too cliché and commonly used, I don't like them. That's why I'm not getting it done until I decide on something that I won't get tired of and that complements my personality and looks.
 

"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 just got back from a week holiday in a hot place, where I was far and away the whitest person by the pool/on the beach. Since I don't tan, I was thinking I should get tattoos. If I can't get a healthy brown color, I should at least be interesting to look at, not pitiable :(

I have a tattoo on my upper back. Got it when I was 17 and stupid. I don't really mind it, although I don't see it much.

That's interesting..a lot of people I know argue against tattoos by saying "YOU'LL HATE IT IN A FEW YEARS AAARGH" but I've never known anyone who absolutely HATED a tattoo they got. Sure, they might regret it a little, but the way I see it it becomes a part of your body like a mole or something.

What's it of?

Most people who say that don't have any tattoo's.
You're absolutely right. It just becomes a part of you and you get used to it. Mine is of a spade wrapped in barbed wire. Has no meaning, I was just at work, bored as hell and it popped into my mind. I was young had some cash and said what the hell. Absolutely no regrets.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I've been thinking a long time about getting a large ram head on my back, with long twisted, narled horns and a sort of demonic/ghastly appearance to it

A ram is sort of representative of my outlook on life, my personality...and its also the mascot of a school that gave me a second chance

This is how I look at tattoos.

Have you ever seen a girl and then thought "Wow she is beautiful!" then saw a tattoo and thought "skank" to yourself? The ONLY exception I have for tattoos on women/men would be if the tattoo was in honor of someone ie a passed relative/friend.

Now if I think that of women who have tattoos,why should I think I can get away with it?

Here is the thing about tattoos which I never really hear anyone mention: when you get a tattoo you're committing to the life of being inked but you don't necessarily commit to that particular tattoo. You can always change a tattoo if you don't like it or if it becomes too distorted over time. Of course, this is working under the assumption the tattoo is somewhere where you have the balls to get it covered up with something different. If you get a tattoo on your chest, stomach, spine, your elbows or your feet, you'll probably be hard pressed to find the courage to get it redone.

Anyway, here is my philosophy and sagely advice: Go Big or Go Home. If you get tattooed, get it as big as you can, as daring and bold as you can, or don't even bother.
 

"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.
