"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.

The One Phrase I Hear A Ton From Girls Over 27

I am hearing this a ton when I go out on dates or just talk to girl's randomly out, "i don't have any expectations anymore". I never remember hearing that in my early 20's. Obviously I know what that's about.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

They finally realize they won't find *THAT* guy they want with all the qualities they desire.

agree with lying. there's no way you can fully become nihilistic and still be going out on dates. one of the girls who told me this however had huge mickey mouse ears and her hair pulled back behind them. i really wanted to comment that she may find her expectations as long as she put her hair over her ears, but i just couldn't do it.

RED FLAG if I ever heard this from a girl.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I am guessing that women who say this are implying that men have let them down.
Perhaps this comment is a consequence of women having absurd expectations to begin with, or maybe men generally really are a bunch of limp dycks.

Why not ask her, " So what were your expectations? "
The answers would be interesting - I think that she would sound like she is reading straight out of Cosmo.

In Woman3se, it means she's made a lot of bad mating choices.

You're beating me to it lately.

I was going to respond to the OP that I've heard the same thing from women (dating or non-dating) usually after the tail end of a real bad dating experience. Want me to be more specific?

Usually right after dating a guy they THOUGHT was THAT guy in her life and then all of a sudden, he took off.

Now, I can see how some people here might confuse EXPECTATIONS with STANDARDS.

Just because she has no expectations, doesn't mean she's lowering her standards and is just going to take in the first guy that'll want something serious with her. She's just saying that she's not going to put all her eggs in her "emotion basket" because she's most likely afraid that you are THAT guy and might run away just as the last guy did.

Funny, because as soon as you hear something like this, you almost want to run.

And as Jophil said... go ahead, ask what the expectations are and then ask her what she's looking for and how low the bar might be set and you'll get all sorts of confusing and canned statements.


And of course, the obvious... girls over 27 start to have a shorter list of options and a shorter list of tolerances than that girl at age 20 who is a sophomore in college and just wants to party.

heh funny.
The last and only woman I've been close to said pretty much that exactly. After I managed to **** it all up with my afc ways she told me she never expects anything from anyone. That is just pure bull****. It's a nice idea but it's next to impossible not to expect anything from anyone you meet.

This is after I opened my heart to her and she blew me off because I didn't take the initiative and **** her brains out the first night we met.
It's a long story but the jist is I basically learned that women will say one thing and do the exact opposite without giving it a second thought.

Broads operate solely on emotion, not logic.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Yup, it's definitely a red flag.

"I don't have any expectations anymore"

You notice how she takes absolutely no responsibility for her implied history of failed relationships? She was the only common denominator in all of those relationships. But no, it couldn't have anything to to do with her, could it? It's not possible that she just keeps getting involved with the wrong guys without learning from her mistakes. Could it be that she is doing something wrong? Of course not!

Nope, the poor girl just expected too much of the male sex. She is a saint in world full of sinners. But she has been so kind as to lower her standards so that she can accommodate those of us who are not quite capable of reaching her lofty ideals. How very kind of her! Be weary of women in their later 20s who act bitter. There is a good chance these girls have a massively over inflated idea of their value.

Excellent ^^

Are you sure that you are only 25 years old ?

Of course, they have been dating jerks for all their life and then they realize (after many years) that those type of guys aren´t reliable. Women aren´t very smart that´s the true...

I know a few gals like this. They say this even with their tits droopy now. They don't even notice their own tits are sagging.
 

"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.
