"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 Rules For Women
- Thread starter ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
- Start date
"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.

1. 3 Strikes and you're out. If a chick doesn't put out by the 3rd date - NEXT!
2. Never spend more than $40 on a date and prefereably for drinks rather than food. $0 is ideal.
3. Any woman that ever utters the words, "I don't understand why sex is so important to guys" is an automatic NEXT!
4. Never answer the phone from 5pm Friday to 3pm Sunday. Let the message machine pick it up.
5. You are the prize, she is the prize seeker. You are doing her the favor.
6. NEVER date women at work. Period.
7. NEVER call a woman more than once in a week and only from Monday-Thursdays.
8. A DJ never even entertains the idea of an LDR.
9. Postpone marriage indefinitely. This is as good as it gets for men, enjoy it as long as humanly possible.
10. The correct response to an LJBF rejection is "Sorry, but I have enough 'friends' already" or "That's OK, I generally don't have the desire to bend my friends over the kitchen table and ride 'em to glory" either one is appropriate.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

$200 for the initial call??!! WTF?! Who's paying for this sh!t?!
This only irritated me because last weekend I was at Barnes & Noble picking around in the psychology section and I swear to God every prominently displayed book title in the section was, "How to turn him into Mr. Right", "Fix Him", "Fixerupper", "12 steps to getting him to commit", and "Why men are bad and need you to correct their thinking" or some sh!t to that effect. I wonder how quick I could get a book published titled "Put her off Forever" or "How to get that fat b!tch into the gym and fvck you like a porn star withouth marrying her" ? It's basically the same friggin' thing they're selling.

Women like these books because they invoke in them the true motivations behind their attraction. Women fantasize about taking the "Challenging Bad boy/Jerk" and capturing him for a relationship.
Just look at all the paperback romance novels that women read. The male characters in these books are all described as "Wild and untamed," but at the end of the book the female is able to finally seize the male. THIS IS WHAT WOMEN TRULY DESIRE AND ARE ATTRACTED TO!!! Remember you are the prize to be won, not her!

Had a look at the rules and they may be good for attracting AFCs. They ain't gonna with with any DJ and as anti-dump said: when two people are using tactics the answer is simple: She always loses and you move on. For a tactic to work, only one of them has to use one.
Incidentally, I thought the rule asking 'do you have a year to spare?' and your post illustrated a compulsory and fundamental delusion of many women: That being in a unsuitable relationship is preferably to being suitably single. They are looking for someone to fix themselves and therefore try to fix their man so he can fix them. ridiculous really.

WHAT A CROCK OF SHYT! What kind of stupid punk-ass would make a life commitment to a woman he's known for only a year?
