"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

No, you have to spin plates before you get oneitis, because it goes a long way in protecting you from the dreaded condition. If you have one option and you fall for her, it's over at that point. No amount of plate spinning or plate breaking or plate anything for that matter will help you at that point.

It happens.

Plate spinning is supposed to help prevent and sometimes cure oneitis.

But it is no guarantee. Sometimes we lose our sh!t over a girl.

Just try to get a handle on yourself, son!! Especially if there's no reciprocation, because it will eat you alive.
 

"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.

Spinning plates works in theory but the problem arises when some of your plates are far higher quality than the others. If you have a 9 on the go and you're spinning multiple 5s alongside then spinning more plates isn't going to fix the problem.

Unfortunately the only way I can think of improving the situation is to spin more 9s but obviously they're rarer and that's far easier said than done.

When I lost a gal, I always just did something else that I really love, like practice and compete at "combat' style shooting matches, teaching and competing at karate, hunting, backpacking, motorcycle riding, posting on the Net, etc. Realize that people are mortal and changable. Don't have your very life riding on other people, much less on any ONE person. That's insanity/slavery/ suicide in the making, dudes. Fvck all that.

" spinning plates" means " having abundance with girls"

what that means is, you don't care if you see her or loose her because YOU KNOW you will find another.

that's all it means. when guys start out they need something to hold on to because they don't believe in what they are doing yet.

if you told a chode he could get a girl just by going to the club and talking to girls for 5 years straight. he wouldn't believe it. he can't. he doesn't believe it in his reality yet. give him a year in the game after going out for 7 nights a week. he's right there with you

Have to say I think this cure is the single most important advice anyone should take from this site.

Maybe the concept can be interpreted in different ways, but if you have plenty of options or even completely different pursuits all together, no single one will become your primary focus.

When I first found this site I was in deep oneitis with a girl I could not realistically be with for geographical reasons (yes I also work with her but that's a whole different topic!). Now a year later she's back trying to find her way into my head, but this time it's all very different as I watch her becoming a little obsessed while I'm just emotionally detached going about my life. Best thing I ever learned regarding women.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
