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.
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 think Rex's point though was the inconsistency in how the forum is moderated and the picking and choosing of when to enforce forum rules.FairShake said:As much as I don't like his or her dumb ass rhetoric he or she shouldn't be banned for having an ignorant worldview.
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.

Oh come on. An anti-white sh!tlib media bombards us 24/7 with the gentle giant narrative and the moment someone dare questions it in Anything else forum he's raycis? Why?Maximus Rex said:Everything you post have is either racist or has a racist overtone to and this needs to stop for the following reasons.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Hmmm.....He's trying to tell us he's hungry for black men. It's 2015, nobody is going to judge you when you get the feeelz.( . )( . ) said:

Been a few years. I'm married. However, I am pretty active on the Mature Man board, probably more than you. I'm actually trying to HELP men, not run them down. ALL men. Recognizing reality is part of that.Maximus Rex said:When was the last time you post a field report
I post facts, you insult. But you want ME banned?Maximus Rex said:I seriously have to question do you like women. To have to pre-occupation with liberals and black isn't healthy.
I can't hold a candle to him, he's the wittiest guy on this board and has been for years. Won't even attempt to debate that. That goes beyond what's posted in AE.Maximus Rex said:Even though ( . ) ( . ) is the same white supremacist, racist bullsh*t that you're own, at least dude contributes to the board.[/b]
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Swallowman? The bix nood MUH DIK babble when stumped for a comeback generally only comes from fatal jay or swallowman. This the new "daring" sock puppet account? How's those group selfies with bemused good looking white couples going my tubby friend..Bing. said:
What is this 1990? I'm not sure a gay song used to evoke sh!tlib feelz and Frankfurt school coined buzzwords is going to cut it for much longer in light of these glaringly disproportionate statistics. How much more do you think the altruistically cursed white liberal can be milked?.Bing. said:
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.
