You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
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.
Wouldn't those results indicate that you have less dark triad traits than the average man? Aside from your rampant narcissism apparently, lol.Atom Smasher said:M 56, higher than 30% of peers.
N 68, higher than 71% of peers.
P 39, higher than 37% of peers.
It's good to be a member of the dark brotherhood.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I'm assuming you were wanting to get a high score on this. It's funny, only in PUA world would guys aspire to score highly on a test testing for personality disorders.Vice said:Interesting results. I had to refrain from "trying" to get a certain score and choosing "strongly agree/disagree" sparingly.
But I scored the highest. I'm not a pua at all. I've never had to put much thought or effort into the women I've been with. Usually they are just naturally attracted to me based on my personality. Also all the women I've been with, I was with before i found sosuave, or pua sites.zekko said:I'm assuming you were wanting to get a high score on this.

Or maybe too many people put weight into this "Dark Triad". You doing fine with women and scoring much less than average in the Dark Triad traits is completely fine. If people met true narcissistic, and psychopathic people in their lives, they would understand it is something to not emulate. I don't consider myself scoring very high on this yet I do fine with women. Dark Triad is the equivalent of horoscopes for women, except aimed at Heartiste's readers. Heartiste gives good advice from time to time, but at the crux of it, he is an entertainer. And these DT tests are all another version of the e-d1ck measuring contest known since the beginning of the internet.Mr.Positive said:I'm not so sure I'd place too much weight in this test. I scored very low. According to this article I should be a complete loser. Yet, I do just fine with women.

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.
Totally agree.ArcBound said:Or maybe too many people put weight into this "Dark Triad". You doing fine with women and scoring much less than average in the Dark Triad traits is completely fine.

I don't buy into all the Dark Triad stuff, but even if you did: Maybe there is some value to being on the extreme opposite end of the spectrum.Mr. Positive said:I'm less than 1% of the people who have taken this test.
