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.
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.
Sounds kind of science-fictiony to me...not really into that.reset said:Mr. Me is the future reset. And I don't mean that in a weird way. He's got a good head on his shoulders but is also a sarcastic bastard, like myself.
"Grew?" I'm not sure I want to know how, k? Just keep it to yourself there, reset.:crackup:reset said:But look at the amazing thread it spawned. We all grew from your little experience.

You're a sarcastic bastard, reset? Hmmm, wonder how I missed that part of you? You might want to take lessons from NightHawk. Now THERE'S a sarcastic bastard you can sink your teeth into...so to speak. He's almost like the male version of me. Aim for that. Forget INterloper...he's a wussie. You'll draw the wrong women...err I mean chicks if you follow him.
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.
Nope, I would never kick anyone when they're down. None of these men on here sound that down to me though.Rex Man said:Ok Hombre,
Perhaps you haven't realized this, but a lot of these guys on here are good people that have been hurt or lack confidence with women. Then there are those (men and women) that try to offer advice and a little support. Even though I may be harsh myself sometimes when offering advice; there comes a point where you're just being a condescending(sp?) @ss. Do you really enjoy kicking people while they're down? If so, that's just sad really.

Yes, and we are giving it to her. That's why she's sticking around.michaelhctam said::rockon:
HOMBRE: Just face it! You want the thing (amongst many others) that is lacking in your life- MALE ATTENTION.
Hi drak..good question. Well first of all it's not afternoon where I am. Secondly, I've already mentioned that my husband is sitting next to me on the couch and we're watching a movie. I'm not that into this movie though so I'm mostly posting but i'm also talking to him and emailing with my LS buddies. And of course checking out LS.drak_ool said:so... a woman involved in a "happy" marriage has just spent the last 5 hours talking to a bunch of guys online. that brings up one question in my mind: don't you have nothing better to do (maybe with your husband?) on a sunday afternoon?
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.

I can multi-task! Isn't that amazing? Don't forget to read the part about when I also gave my H a BJ.
Can you do more than one thing at a time? Just wondering. Thanks for stopping by!
I'd rather concentrate on one thing and do it perfectly, than do 3 or 4 more things at a lower quality.HOMBRE said:Can you do more than one thing at a time? Just wondering. Thanks for stopping by!
Actually, my husband is really very attentive of me. I don't lack for male attention.michaelhctam said::rockon:

Gotcha there, Michael. Thou doth protest too loudly, wouldn't you say?michaelhctam said:I'd rather concentrate on one thing and do it perfectly, than do 3 or 4 more things at a lower quality.
Quality not Quantity.
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.
HOMBRE said:Actually, my husband is really very attentive of me. I don't lack for male attention.
I know this is weird but I'm finding this kind of interesting and entertaining now. I guess it's because the movie is so boring.
I'll get bored with this in time. Don't worry your pretty little head over it, k?
Wow, I have never encountered such awkward use of pseudo-intellectualism, I use large sized words so my message rises above the rest.HOMBRE said:Gotcha there, Michael. Thou doth protest too loudly, wouldn't you say?
So why are you here then? Go do the one thing you do perfectly, k?
Oh and don't forget the lube buddy! (wink, wink)
Hey, if it makes you feel better about your life to say that, I don't mind. I've met a few people on LS in person and they can tell you. Research some of my posts on there. I really don't mind.My Name is Nobody said:Yeah right, you can't fool us baby. You are not happy.

What reason would I have to lie to a bunch of strangers? I'm completely being myself and I've been honest about what I've divulged about myself.
Believe it or don't. Fine with me either way.
I love my husband and he loves me. He would never whine like some on here.
He's a good man. A strong man. I hope some of you can get to that place one day yourselves. And I don't mean that way in any sarcastic way...I mean it.
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.
