"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.

So I've been thinking more and more about this, and so far from what I can tell, it seems true. If this info is nothing new, forgive my ignorance.

1.) A girl will marry their father. Obviously not actually marry their father, but they will marry a man who has similar qualities to their father (in what way, I've yet to figure out).

2.) A girl will treat her husband/boyfriend in a similar way they treat their father (if a girl treats her dad like crap and lies to him a lot to make him think she's a good girl, there's a good chance she'll do the same to you).

3.) Both the above could be said the same for men. A girl will judge a guy on the way he treats his mother, or even a waitress. Many guys want to marry someone who have similar qualities of their mother.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

I can agree with this for the most part. There's already been studies that girls lean towards guys with similiar traits as their father. The same could be said for guys too, but I don't think this is always %100 accurate. I hope my mate isnt too much like my mom, that would drive me insane. But then again what woman wouldn't?

...And they frequently turn into their mother when they get older.


Aside from all that, it's important to look at her entire family. You're marrying into that family, and will have to spend holidays with them. Her brother just might be wanting to borrow money from you.

It's not new, but it's new to you-so it's not ignorance, it's just you're learning it for the first time. ;)

It's long been said that men marry their mothers. It was really more of a proverb than anything else, but like most proverbs, it probably has some truth to it.

I'd never really heard it applied to women, but recently there was an article on saying that some study was done, and that women may be more guilty of marrying their fathers than the other way around. So, in a way, maybe this aspect of it is kinda knew.

I've also noticed that most (but not all) of the younger girls I've dated that are interested in older guys, had very good relationships with their fathers. They were usually close to them, felt safe around them, respected them, etc-
so in that way, it's probably not surprising that they would find themselves attracted to older, more mature men.

VVVV To the guy below, the concept doesn't have anything to do with physical appearance. It's about the personality, attitude, demeanor, etc.. of the parent.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I'm not too sure, I'm not attracted to women of my own kind tbh and I prefer fair skinned girls with blonde/light brown hair, so I wouldn't be marrying a girl like my mother out of choice, only out of desperation, but I'd rather be single tbh.
