"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.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

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.

This has proven to be a barrier to my decision to go out. I've put the lock-down on my finances of late. Even the cost of gas to goto the club or bar is proving to be not-worth-it if I'm not gonna pull, or bang a lady. There's no guarantee sure, but I try to get away with not having to pay a dime to get my pleasures satisfied. I won't be the fool and pay cover charges and drink the $4 beers as before! I intend to get laid this weekend with minimal sacrifices to my bankroll this weekend. Freebies are the best.
 

"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.

I guess that's one of the advantages to living right in the middle of the entertainment district. I get my drink on before I go out, take the elevator downstairs, have one at the club across the street, and stumble home a block away at 2am :)

This is a valid point. For some guys there's a lot of cost in going out. You risk a DUI. Just the gas might be $4, parking might be $8, cover $5+, drinks $4. By the time you had your first drink you're up to $21 and you might be drinking 4 or 5 more. It gets expensive going out every night. Now, of course you can lower these expenses and it's usually not that expensive on nights besides FRiday and Saturday, but it adds up. There's definitely a higher cost for men going out to get the girls. Besides the money and time costs, there's the DUI risk I mentioned, the hangover the next day, dealing with b!tchshields (I don't get these too much anymore), and dealing with random dudes trying to get your targets, and just the cost of dissapointment from going out, shelling out and striking out ;). Sure there's solutions to lower all these osts but they're not easy solutions.
 

"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.

Damn, try living in London :) To convert to dollars, typically looking at $7 a beer, $13 a ****tail, $8 a mixer/shot. If you miss the last subway home (which go at midnight, so most of the time you do) probably looking at $30 - $40 for a taxi home.

Everytime I go to Hollywood I end up spending at least $100.

It sucks so I don't do it very often.

But the weathers so nice and girls can dress skimpy all the time lol. Where I'm at (Midwest) it's cold there's several inches of snow on the ground. Hmm maybe Texas or Florida would be a good choice.
