"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.

Yes, I let my guard down and started revealing too much about my past relationships and why it did not work out. Got into a stupid argument with chick.....next thing I know everything she knows about me is turned against me during the argument. God, their memories are so good for what they want to remember.....and sooo poor for what they do not.
Moral of the story as you all know.....do not give them more information then required or needed. IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU!!!
Stupid me.....Abe
 

"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.

My ex used to love to throw stuff from my childhood up in my face. Deep painful things that she knew would bother me. Towards the end I made my peace with my past and stopped allowing her to use it against me.

Should have never told that ***** my last name, much less childhood trama. MDMA bonding is bull****.

You learned a good lesson Abe. That lesson will apply for the rest of your life.

It's just a good idea to avoid talk of past relationships in the first place.

Sometimes they drill you for info on that, best to brush it off if at all possible.

It's "your" past and quite frankly none of their business.

Dear Abe,
All valuable advice...You just cant have objective conversations with Women in the way you do with your mates,their rationale,logic system is so different...never get in arguments with them,if something does provoke that response then just say anything to close the conversation...If you must win points,then save it till after you have enjoyed yourself!
 

"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'll play the contrarian here and say that the best defense is a good offense.

This may sound like a load of metaphysical hogwash, but if absolutely and completely accept and forgive your past, it will have ZERO power over you.

Which means any talk of past relationships, childhood trauma, etc, can NEVER be used against you, since they hold no emotional value for you.

Talking about ex's, past relationships, etc, will come across as you talking about the time you found a frog or something when you were a kid.

She'll see there's NOTHING THERE to use against you. She can ONLY use it if she senses that there's pain or emotional regret.

ANY ISSUE she raises about the past, is clearly HER PROBLEM, not yours.


Any time you give a woman any kind of painful memory, and expect her to NOT USE IT AGAINST you is like putting your balls in an electronic vice, giving her the remote control and hoping she never uses it.

You could be VERY CAREFUL with what you share, so she doesn't have that opportunity, or you could systematically go through your past and REMOVE ANY NEGATIVE emotions. Accept them as learning experiences. Appreciate them as learning experiences.

Difficult? Absolutely. But the end result is NOBODY in the world can EVER have anything on you.

Dirty fighter. Good riddance.

Any lowbrow that would use that type of information to win an argument is just that ... a lowbrow. Only good for the occasional humping.

Ahhh Taiyuu...I totally agree. At the end of the day it did not bother me nor did I respond to her comments directly. I just thought that she showed no class bringing that sh*t up. So my response was "May God protect and keep you and I wish you the best"..... I never directly responded to her crap nor did I let it affect me. I have not heard back from her.....and the best part is the I really do not give a crap if she ever calls me back. I just though it was so low to use my past. F...her. I will miss her pu**sy ...she was the best I have ever had....but I am not going to loose my self or manhood for a piece of a##. Abe

That's one lesson I will hang on tight to, done with that myself. From now on when a chick asks about that stuff, well its in the past. That's it. No more ammunition for the betches!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

I have always maintained that women have a hard drive in their brain, they have an uncanny ability to bring up stuff you thought was long gone and utterly irrelevant and use it against you, the only variable is how malicious is the woman you are with, they all have this ability, all of them
