"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.

"Like minded people striving for greatness"? You mean your competition?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I must say to @fastlife whom I admire and who I think has a tremendous amount of wisdom that yes...women worth having are indeed going to measure men one against another...and fast food fry cooks are not going to come out well in that analysis UNLESS (and this is a BIG unless) there is ambition and drive and purpose behind being a fry cook (e.g. he's a fry cook aspiring to manager or franchisee)...

Just like men constantly compare women's bodies, beauty and physical attributes, women compare a man's attributes as well.

A man like @bigneil may be stylistically arrogant to some, but there's an old saying...it ain't bragging if it's true. I find ballsy self confidence to be a very attractive trait...and I think both @fastlife and @bigneil display this, although the presentation is very different.

Hell I'm a woman and the thing I am most often complimented on is my allure. Allure on a woman is the feminine version of ballsy self confidence and it's a combination of "no give a sh1t", confidence, sex appeal and composure that you learn through loving yourself and actualuzing yourself.

Know thyself & love thyself. Never apologize for a life well lived. ;)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

And sometimes they cannot admit that someone is greater than them even if deep down they know it is true.
Without a shred of observable evidence? Wait, this is you saying you think I believe you are greater than me? Get a full time job and lose your virginity first and then we'll talk.

You don't get along with anyone, do you? You're incidentally right about one thing. No one likes an a$$hole, but everyone does have a certain amount of respect for an a$$hole who backs it up.

But you're just a 46 year old a$$hole living an alter-ego on the internet, claiming to be the original Don Juan with no demonstrable claim to this fame. No avatar, no website with a product or service, no pics - nothing.

So you're correct, most people in this thread will come out of it not liking you. But not because they're jealous of your success, because you're a lot of hot air in an empty barrel.

Evidence isn't strictly concrete. A lot of it has to do with the mindset or 'vibe' you give off.
This is proving my point further. Because I'm expanding on what you said, you take it as a disagreement and consider that as a personal attack. So what do you do? You insult me based on your values; you place your entire value solely on how much money you make and how many girls you sleep with. To you, that is the only thing determining one's value and thus credibility. And because of this, you have absolutely no self-esteem, so your ego has to make up for it as we can clearly see through the posts above.

I get it. No one is going to give you a standing ovation for your success so you have to be your own biggest fan. But don't be like those die-hard sports fanatics who shove it down everyone's throats. The vast majority of people won't give a crap unless they have a reason to. And you doing that casts about your success in a negative light.

I learned what you mean by "allure" through my sister. I have a question though. How well do you get along with other women?
 

"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.

To answer your question @ImTheDoubleGreatest!
I get on very well with other women and have at least half a dozen very close girlfriends whom I have known between 10 and 30 years. This is in addition to my sisters, and my Dad's wife with whom I am also close. I have numerous female colleagues I help professionally when they need an ear to listen or when they ask for guidance. I have also have less tenured girlfriends who I respect, admire & enjoy. My female friends range in age from 30 to 80. I must say I am blessed.

I learned a long time ago that when as a woman you have sex appeal, you must temper it with grace & graciousness. You must also deeply respect boundaries of the women around you to the best of your ability. You must be genuine as a person.

Otherwise women distrust you because allure doesn't have an off switch. You do this by learning to read people's responses well. Modesty and appropriate behavior help a tremendous amount too.

Funny thing is that the more genuine you are the more allure you have...but it comes off in an authentic charming way.
