"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.

Recently came upon something I thought was pretty useful for general confidence and demeanor. This was part of a "social influence" podcast for business relationships. It is interesting how the concepts behind good business relationships directly applies to intimate relationships as well. So here goes...

Preface: First impressions are made long before your actually walk up to someone and talk to them. This is not a new concept. Corey Wayne and others talk about being that guy in the bar that just looks like "he is having a great time". Before you approach a woman, business prospect, etc. they already have an opinion about you. Their first impression is made based on how they observed you earlier in the day. Think people don't notice you, even if just for a second? you are wrong! It takes 2 seconds for them to make a judgement. 2 SECONDS!!!

So how do you make good first impressions?

The doorway drill..
Every time you walk through a door...
-stick your chest out
-pull back your shoulders
-stand upright
-eyes straight

and

-SMILE!

Do this every time you walk through a doorway. Eventually, this will become a habit. You will naturally walk into places with a welcome confident attitude. The first impression people have is positive. They may even be curious. What is he so happy about? Who is this guy? Do this at work, do this at home, do it socially, do it everywhere, every time you cross that threshold.

After a couple weeks, you will notice this becomes a habit. That is the key, making this confident demeanor a habit. Now, the key here is don't be a frigging peacock!!! It must be natural and fit to your personal style.

Try it!
 

"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.

@Roober, you just gave me the idea to do this whenever I walk into the bathroom. I'm there to get the job done, no wasted trips. :up:

Sticking your chest out looks lame.

Comes off as fake.

See: tryhard

So, I do not recommend.

However, standing straight and tall is good for overall posture and communicates frame.

Your taking it too literally. Basically stand up straight. If your standing straight and upright, your chest will stick out a bit.

This is just about projecting your natural manly presence. It's more a case of what NOT to do... don't be that shrivelled up person who is almost apologetic about taking up any space at all.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
