She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
perhaps you are just reading into the situation just a little too much.Originally posted by sedation
I was just wondering if, when you're hugging a girl and she lifts one of her legs up, does it really mean something? Or is that just some bull I heard somewhere?
If it does mean something, what exactly does it mean?
Perhaps I am... I still wanna know whether it does, or at least could, mean something. Whether she meant anything by it or not.Originally posted by wavejams007

Greeaat... real helpful in helpin' me decode this myth. Thanks. :crackup:
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Who said I was worried about it?Originally posted by Reagan
Here's what you can do instead of worring about useless crap. Jerk off. Very helpful.
I was wondering what it means when I am sitting down and a girl hops onto my knee and starts rubbing her crotch on me... is she trying to be alpha and leave her scent?Originally posted by sedation

Seriously, that's just a dumb question man, it's like an AFC who learns to sit up straight.
Some Dumb Blonde(SDB): I was talking to my guy friend and he was sitting up straight and he looked very relaxed, was he trying to tell me something?
Yeah... uh... you could'a just said it actually is some bull I heard somewhere. Damn... you people suck at answering a simple question. 'Bet you think you're cool **** answerin' my question with some bull like that, huh?Originally posted by sedation Or is that just some bull I heard somewhere?
Ok... sure... what would Sally say about it?Originally posted by wavejams007
Sedation, ask Reagan what Sally would say about it.:crackup:
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.
Well, Sally would say, she is the only girl for you. She'll please you in anyway you want. She doesn't judge you. She doesn't ***** and complain, and she doesn't PMS!!!!!Ok... sure... what would Sally say about it?

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.

sorry about all these *******s dude, they seem to forget that they were once new to this whole thing too (and in most cases still are). Basically, it's common sense to figure it out though - if she lifts her leg when she hugs other people, it means nothing. If she only lifts her leg when she hugs you, it means something, but no way to tell what. If I were you I would just make a move b/c then you'll know. Anyways, I g2g cuz I'm meeting a girl at starbucks like, now...
