"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Mariages break when you stop doing the things you used to because you think you no longer have to. -Les Mariages.

It's all in the little things. It is my recent belief that the little things are the ones that make all the difference. It wasn't your new hairstyle, your ****y funny or any of that. It was simply you holding the door open. It was simply you being polite. It was simply you being respectful.

I've felt more than ever that recently, it's been the little things that have gotten me so far. It's that first step you take, the one you never dared to previously, that allows you to go to victory. It's that search you did a few years back on tips for seducing women.

Last saturday a guy from school died in a car accident. He was 18 years old. I did not know him very well but we did talk a few times. I am an essentially cold hearted I don't give a **** person. But that made me sad. I have shamelessly put people to tears and not given any second thought or felt any remorse, but this hurt.

It's the harsh reality of things that just hit you and you're forced to accept them. This guy was very depressed in his last few days and saw no point in going on. The truth is, it all started with his girlfriend being negative towards him. And that triggered him to be worried, unhappy and things started adding on very quickly.

My friend handed a paper to two teachers. He changed one word in the entire essay on one paper and left the other as it was originally written. The altered one got a 'imaginary' B+ . The altered one got a D. This is what the papers would have gotten if they counted.

A choice of words, a small action, birds singing.... anything can change everything. Be careful what you do, what you say. It may just be the difference between you scoring that chick or not... and it may be the difference between a happy life and a sad life.

I hope I've clearly explained my point and hope that you can feel it as strongly as I do now. Life may just end today or tomorrow. Don't waste it. I was sad, but it taught me that I couldn't be sad.

Although I knew him about as much as I know a random poster here, he changed my life.

No need for condoleances. His family needs them, not me.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Did you hear about Paul Chester last year? He went to Georgetown Prep, near White Flint. I went to middle school with him, and he died in a car accident last winter. I heard that alcohol was involved.

I feel what you're saying, 100%. What if just one person at the party who was sober had decided to offer him a ride home, despite the fact that it would have been out of their way?

What you should be worrying about is your own mortality, and how really there is no time for dilly-dallying.

About the little things, 99.9% of human genetic make up is the same. its 0.1% difference in our genetics that make us completely unique. There's very good chances there's someone in the world with the same personality as me, but is a little more of this. There's also a good chance there's another person with relatively the same personality, who's a little less that. It's up to me to better myself, I can't lay my lifes direction in anyone elses hands.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

20, really.

40 if I'm the one driving.
 

"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.
