"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So often I would see "men" dating topics arise when it comes to a guy struggling with some dating issues, and that the onus is really on HIM to keep her "entertained" and being lulled into boredom...eventually.

This is kind of equivalent to a spoiled kid getting bored of a new toy. You see, I haven't really grown up spoiled and appreciate the little things.

As far as I'm concerned, someone, ANY gender, that gets bored that easily...they are the ones with the problem and it's not up to me to supplicant their boredom. So I'm not going to listen to dating advice that caters to that mantra.

There's this one female friend I have, the only time she calls me is on her commute home from work. She doesn't wait until she gets home to call me...which I find odd. Come to find out, she's trying to alleviate her boredom on the commute. I actually called her on this.

One time when she called, I didn't have that much to say for some reason, so I was about to say I was going to head off when she said, "So tell me blah blah blah"

She said it in a way that she was deliberately trying to entertain her by coming up with random topics to keep the convo going until she got home. lol

"Bill, entertain me until I get home, please!"

Usually, I'm a funny guy, and one time I was not in that kind of mood...a woman said to me, "Make me laugh, you're always a funny guy!"

No joke, I swear I thought I was transported to the middle ages and I was wearing a court jesture costume. lol "Make me laugh, fool or OFF with your head!"

Good thing they were just female friends, because ...well, they just casual friends. But it's an interesting perspective on what men the DATE have to look forward to. lol Poor them, right?

People in general are spoiled though, they don't appreciate what they have because it probably all stems back to childhood or something where they may have had parents that would get them the newest toy that the kids are talking about at school.

For instance, my parents never got me a Nintendo in the 80s, they were like "You have your Atari...and probably 30 games, so you don't NEED a Nintendo!!" So there ya have it. I wasn't spoiled like most people are.

Made me appreciate things more, but apparently, when it comes to dating...there are a lot of ingrates out there that bore easily.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

One of the first lessons of love I learned was to get a girl used to entertaining herself early on in the relationship.

Women already have a tendency to do nothing and spend their time trying to manage or control their mates time and activities.

Girl I'm seeing now won't do anything for herself except smoke, drink and hang with friends. While I'm planning fishing trips, hiking, home projects etc.

Every guy in a female's life has a purpose. To give her attention, validation, excitement, sex, entertainment, stability, etc.

If you're not getting sex, don't give her any of those other things.
So how do you get the woman to give you sex in the first place without giving her those things?

A woman who fvcks me on the first date raises a lot of red flags.

I always say, "Flip the frame".

Your inner mindset should be that she must entertain and interest you. And she should subtly be made aware of this.

When you sh!t test a woman (and men don't do this nearly enough), she will start to qualify herself to you. Once that happens, it's game over for her.

When it comes to women, always think in terms of flipping the frame.
 

"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.
