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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Agreed. If you ask me, this forum has been going downhill fast lately. And I don't say that easily - I've never been one to buy into all that "This forum used to be good back in the day" type talk.LiveFreeX said:Western women love this sh1t man, they love creating disorder among men and then standing back while the men fight it out. Why was DownLow banned, I thought he contributed quite a bit to the forums.
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 saw DownLow's post and I can't disagree that he was flaming people, and if one breaks the rules repeatedly then yes they should be banned. Having said that.......
Is this OP not flaming people?
Is this OP not an obvious troll?
I doubt Zarky would be so stupid as to make this copy so much like his original, however I assume Thumpy has been warned on his multiple posts, since he has not been banned?
Legit trolling and crying MISOGYNIST in every thread is hardly "value".Thumpy said:Danger,
A few of us provide value to the boards.
You need a tougher skin Zarky / Thumpy. :crackup: :crackup:Thumpy said:Danger,
A few of us provide value to the boards. If we we're to go banning everyone who made smart remarks the main culprit posting on ss who'd need to be banned would be playherman. Yet it's allowed to stay after multiple attacks on various posters because it provides comfort to the groupthinkers with axes to grind against women.
Totally agree. Down Low was an a$$. Totally agree with the ban. He brought nothing but negativity to every post he commented on.Colossus said:Down Low was banned for repeatedly breaking the rules despite multiple warnings. We arent big bad mods on ego trips. We're regular guys like everyone else. There are rules, and if they are broken, and we see it, it has to be dealt with. We cant catch everything. But repeat offenders usually end up getting banned.
Do you guys want to be part of a forum where a handful of members go around flaming the p!ss out of whoever they want, whenever they want? I doubt it. It brings everyone down and turns away guys who need help.
If you guys think the forum is going downhill, why dont you try to make it a place where you'd like to be?

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Bahaahaha that's funny. Burroughs, (.)(.), and several others have contributed nothing but flames since I've been here. And they're still going strong, no sign of change.Colossus said:Do you guys want to be part of a forum where a handful of members go around flaming the p!ss out of whoever they want, whenever they want?

Ok my original post was deleted so I'll try keeping this one user friendly. If you honestly wanted change try mixing it up then sweetheart. Instead of whining about how awful and misogynist the manosphere is with passive agressive snark, try saying how awesome it is, or at the very least how awesome I am.Zarky said:Bahaahaha that's funny.

To be fair to the mods I likened zarky's gloating post of DownLows banning here with that of a bpd chick who deliberately taunts her fella until he snaps and punches the stuffing out of her then gloats as the authorities take him away.Danger said:Why is titties held to a different standard than Thumpy? I am confused on this "rules" thing.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
typical said:I believe that no one should have their thread deleted, unless they are spamming the forum with worthless information. The personal attack type of posts should not be touched at all, if someone has beef with another person let them post up all they want because in the end only they look like tools nothing more.
No matter how much anyone here gets on my nerves or I find their belief or view "stupid" or "narrow minded", they do bring up certain points that are interesting to read and think about.
I totally disagree with this. Flame posts make a discussion forum look really trashy. There's no better word to describe it.typical said:The personal attack type of posts should not be touched at all, if someone has beef with another person let them post up all they want because in the end only they look like tools nothing more.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
