"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.

Have a good center is vital to making any kind of progress with the ladies.

Lately I've been going thru some things. Death in the family, and the drama that follows.

New job, still adjusting and learning to make more money. Still homeless, but now sleeping in my new toyota prius.

People, I care about, leaving my life.

How about you? What knocks you off your horse, as it were?

"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.

I think unexpected surprises knock everyone off center.

Outside of that.. I get knocked off center when I find out something I thought to be true was a lie. Reason being.. I'm very big on "living in reality" since that allows you to make the smartest choices. Any time I learn that I was operating on FALSE information and making dumb decisions because of it.. that can rattle me.

Mate I'm sorry to hear. A death in the family will knock anyone. Some s***** parts of life just have to be lived through I guess you know that better than anyone. You've made 2 big achievements which must have taken huge willpower and strength of character, stay on the path even when it's dark and rocky.

Thanks, everyone, for the ecouragement. It means a lot!

I'm hoping someday to have my mojo at full strength, as it were. Till then, progress continues.

I hear ya... It just washes all our defences and new found self-belief away like they didn't exist. Remember though, being a victim is a habit of mind. With work we can change that conditioning.
