When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
Thanks for the motivation, after some retarded days of me trying out online game I noticed that it was missing the most important ingredient: The harsh and cold feeling of rejection. I'll be out and getting rejected and post about it, since that seems to spice this journal up a lot more.( . )( . ) said:Good job man. Now you've thrown down the gauntlet we want to see this page filled with "she laughed in my face ", "she told me not if I was the last person on earth" "she said I had a head like a foot" etc etc.
What's the worse that can happen? Rejections? Bring it on I say.
Rejections=thicker skin=self evaluation=improvement=hotter chicks. You'll learn what works by learning what doesn't work . Then once you've got that down you'll learn not to give a sh!t either way.
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.
Dedication said:Hehe, well, the thing is that my brain usually has the following thoughts when other people talk: "Jesus Christ, this mother****er is stupid. X and Y don't add up", "If killing was legal you'd be dead right now", "incompetent piece of ****, I don't give a **** about you and your problems, quit your whining". So usually when other people talk I just walk away or interrupt them and start asking them (deep and very personal) questions so I can expose their weaknesses. For them it feels like an interrogation.
I literally signed up just to quote this and bring up a point. Just think about what you are typing here for a minute.Dedication said:I decided that contact with a certain friend would only be stunting my growth because he is such a whiny little **** so I cut contact with him.

Thanks for your post, I realize that some of the **** that went on inside me head is just unhealthy and had to be cut, while I exxagerated a bit, these thoughts usually popped up whenever somebody was talking to me without being direct or clear in what their intentions are/were.p4yz said:I literally signed up just to quote this and bring up a point.

Seriously, this thread reads like a serial killers secret diary.
"If killing was legal you'd be dead right now, incompetent piece of ****, I dont give a **** about you" -Patrick Bateman.
You have some sort of superiority complex, extreme narcissistic personality disorder or something mate.
I know you want to get better with women (and socialising in general), so here are some tips from someone who's been where you are to some degree:
(Sidenote : I have hundreds of approaches over a few years now, I also have my own company, which you mention you aspire to, and I can tell you if you can't handle listening to people and their needs and desires without your internal dialogue going bonkers, you will have ALOT of problems running a business)
- Stop thinking you are 'above' people. This is exactly what disconnects you from others and gets in the way of developing strong relationships. Avoid this 'I cant stand this person instantly' line of thinking and honestly try to look at situations from the other persons point of view.
- There is a ****load of unnessecary crap in the 'get better with girls' world that will NEVER be practical or helpful, it's just noise. Like fad diets, these marketers try to get you obsessed with all the little details like 'frame control' and 'inner vs outer game' BS.
Game essentially boils down to approaching, conversing normally, and escalating until either rejection or relationship/sex/whatever. Rinse repeat.
Step 1. Walk up to girls you want to meet and start talking to them about anything.
Step 2. Ask for their number/organise a date.
Step 3. Escalate physically during/after the date and have sex.
A huge percentage of guys just cant handle the approaching part. Once you can approach, all bets are off, if you approach often enough, everything else just self corrects.
Anyway, enough ranting. You just come across way too disconnected with other people in your diary and I hope this feedback has been constructive, I might come across negative but I relate with what you are doing and I am providing an 'after' shot for you to think about.

Regardless, it still isn't healthy or productive in any way. I'm glad you took your time to reply.
During this week I put a huge focus on my verbal game and it shifted my way of thinking and the way I socialize with people. At the moment it's a bit more fun and light hearted. Which is also one of the goals I put out before starting my journal. Since I wanted to be capable of having fun regardless of the outcome (while still leading the interaction forward).
There is idd a lot of noise in the game industry, but it did help me become aware of the game and a lot of faults that I had/still have. I didn't come from a perticularly healthy place, I can tell you honestly that I needed a wake up call.
Anyway about feeling disconnected. I can tell you that at times I am pretty disconnected with people and it does come from me feeling superior towards other people. I've always had this feeling and I know it isn't productive. On the one hand it keeps me in state because I care so little, on the other hand at times I'm really not connecting with people because of it. I think that this will auto correct over time as I socialize a lot more.
True, I don't need it. I just want to create one. If only just for the experience. On the other hand, it does give me great reason to relax and have fun.escaleraroyal said:Real DJ, PUAs, Players don't need social circles.
As a person who has done 15k approaches. I disagree with the last poster about frame control, and inner game. These two have helped my game, not drastically, but some.
I prefer having goals :yes:Dalshtröm said:As I have said, goals wont so - they will Bring you frustations! Just chill out and take it as a play and you will succeed. There is no otjer way.
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.
Yeah, he knows wtf he is talking about.Social_Leper said:This advice is gold. There'd be a lot less whining if posters could just internalize this thinking. Would rep you if I could.
