Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
You seem almost bitter towards women now Pook. Why is that?Pook said:This is a terrific thread. It should not be seen as depressing but as liberating. It can take quite a long while for your sense of reality to readjust, but you are better starting off from reality than fantasy.
"Pook! You have destroyed my woman's honor!"
"No sir, SHE has destroyed YOUR reality."
*slaps Pook with the back of a glove*
"I demand satisfaction!"
"Yes, you demand satisfaction but your girl also demanded satisfaction. I cannot spend my time day and night satisfying the demands of all the women you know."
And on and on it goes. It's incredibly easy to get other guys girlfriends and wives, disturbingly easy. I don't do it because its another form of manipulation, turning man against man, brother against brother. I have no respect for guys who use their 'success' with women to stomp on other guys. The mistake many guys make when they go for a wife or a girlfriend is that they think they are 'hot stuff' because they are getting these 'taken women' but in reality the woman is often using him, usually to belittle the husband or boyfriend she's with (or to make other women jealous). When couples 'wife swap', it is often the wife trying to out-manipulate the other wife's husband (a contest of who can steal the other husband's love). This is Female Game.
But take this initial post and look at it culturally. If a wife takes her kids out and the husband cheats, it is rightfully seen as wrong and bad. However, if the husband takes her kids out and the wife cheats, it is called The Bridges of Madison County, a great best seller! If a woman seduces and makes an arch bishop breaks his vows, it is called The Thornbirds, another great best seller! What about a movie where the woman gets to act like a *****, spit on culture, cheat on her fiancee, abandon her family, to run off with a guy with no job? And to add insult to injury, when the girl dies where does she spend heaven with? She chooses not to be with her husband but rather with the one time lover! It is called Titanic, the best selling movie ever.
What is sad is that in trying to help your fellow man see the truth, they just grip their horse tighter in fear. The men start to turn against you, saying, "How dare you speak like that!" And once they get married, what happens? His entire life gets shunted into the material utopia. New cars for the wife, new house, bigger house, endless remodeling.
Think about how much wasted talent there is pursuing women and pleasing the wife. It didn't use to always be this way. A century or so ago, there were much tighter measures on such flippant behavior. If a single woman got pregnant, she would move away from the community. Today, that single mother is enshrined as a goddess.
"Why are women this way?" it will be asked. The male and female brains differ. Females have a stronger right hemisphere of the brain, this hemisphere focuses on sensation, feelings, and all.
Due to the right brain's dominance, women will choose astrology over astronomy, junk food over nutrition, adultery over vows, movies over books, unlogical 'descriptive' books like Harry Potter / Romance books over logical non-feeling books like Aristotle, Plato, Erasmus, Dante, Aquinas, and so on. This is also why the player's 'game' always revolves not around the woman's emotions, but her sensations.
Consider that when men are manipulated, it is because they are using their right side of their brain (rather than the dominant male left side). The men fall in "love". They are drugged into sensation wonderland. Then, with a caught donkey, the woman can lead the man around to her choosing.
It is well said that men are more logical than woman. But the reverse is also true, that women are more sensationalistic than men. If a man goes the sensation route (falling or love, or the 'false players' who think they are getting 'lucky' with a girl, who see the woman as achievement), women will dominate him and his life.
I can't speak for pook but I can say that it's not all that it's cracked up to be. The Disney movies and the life you've been brought up to believe what love is, there is nothing further from the truth.ImTheDoubleGreatest! said:You seem almost bitter towards women now Pook. Why is that?
Is it because you have chosen "cross the boundaries" in your knowledge of women? I ask this because I remember you saying that women are not meant to be understood, but only to be loved. You then said that once you understand them, you can no longer love them. And now you got me thinking...... What is it that you discovered? You probably won't respond since you haven't been active on this forum for almost a decade and since this was your last post but whatever....
If anyone knows what Pook discovered was so black and depressing about women and the way they work or something, can someone please tell me?
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.
Disagree. You can't further the species without the man. Both are just as needed.they are solely responsible for the furtherance of our species.
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.
Do you think the Myer Briggs Personality Test serve as a good indicator of women's loyalty? I recently met this girl who is an INTP. Sort of an intellectual (I have higher grades than her), is a bookworm, and she is someone that I as an INTJ can connect with intellectually and see the world from a similar perspective. The type of person that wants to save this world. She once said "[my trust] won't be worth anything if I give it out so easily." Are these the type of "higher quality" girls that we so often hint towards? According to the Myer Briggs test, the INTP personality itself comprises only of around 3% of the population.Though I guess randomshinichi has a point, if you're talking about exceptional cases.
Here's the thing; it's an ideal... originally rooted in philosophy, art and culture.I can't speak for pook but I can say that it's not all that it's cracked up to be. The Disney movies and the life you've been brought up to believe what love is, there is nothing further from the truth.

Well, my point is you need to think in both terms, realistically and idealistically, because that's simply reflects our nature. We have a foot in either world so to speak. I think when one becomes a complete idealist or a complete realist then one becomes an ideologue. In this respect, the puritans were the first ideologues. And, anyway, consider all the dogmatic forms of realism that float around today... they are all products of mind.The very last time I was out approaching, it was the end of 2016.
Someone actually opened me on the street. It was two women. They were Mormons.
They sounded a lot like you. Using a lot of words, but not really saying much.
I gather that your mindset is based on 'faith', just like theirs is.
Trying to live up to an idea in your head, all the while ignoring the sensory data of the world around you. Consoling yourself in moral elitism.
"We have to think idealistically to a certain extent". No. That's a choice. I personally choose to, because it's enjoyable. You choose to seemingly because you can't accept the alternative.
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.
