"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.

Every sunday night, since forever. I've always sat down and watched TV and ate takeout. When I was a teenager I would go to the dixie cafe and get grilled country pork chops and fried corn on the cob and watch law and order criminal intent and boomtown on NBC. When I was broke and starting my first business I would put together 10 or 15 dollars and go to sonic and watch the sopranos.

I don't care where I am in the world or what I'm doing, that's now instinctive. Now we order ****ty dominios pizza lol and sit and watch movies on amazon prime or netflix all night.

For all the things I do or have done, this has always been one of the most rewarding things. Cut the phones off get off the internet, cuddle up wiht the misses, eat **** hawaiian pizza and enjoy each other.

It's the simple things in life really. it sounds silly but it really is.


What are some of the simple things you like to do?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Good topic dude. Sunday Night HBO is a treasure. I have even taken to planning my wknds around them.

For me, the weekdays I don't have to work are life's little pleasure. Strolling to WaWa while everyone who is working is driving, checking the Daily News while everyone else who is working is hellbent on the coffee station, getting two sizzlis to enjoy while everyone else who is working is eating their bagel on the road, getting home and listening to Sirius Bluegrass junction.

On those days I feel like a king, or at the very least, landed gentry.

Battling another young guy on the tennis court. Win or lose I love the intensity and rythm of the game. And it's so tactical. What shots of yours r on and off on the night. Recognising his weaknesses and playing Your Strengths to them
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

What a cool thread. Sunday brunch with great coffee, eggs Benedict or breakfast tacos.
Simple but decadent when done well. Anything building the relationship with the kids is a treasure. They grow up so fast.

For myself a few simple pleasures:

- A warm soak in a soak tub
- An evening dancing Latin or swing
- Playing pick up soccer
- Cup of great hot tea
- Conversation
- Chess
- Gin Rummy (the card game)
