"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.

Got this idea off a post by Colossus. It's a great metaphor to the kind of mindframe we should be in when it comes to women.

The "game" is like deer hunting with a knife. You're the hunter and you need to get close enough to the deer, so you do all sorts of things to mask your presence or avoid scaring the deer: you mask your scent, maybe you chuck food around, who knows...the point being, if you're hunting deer, do you just run at it head on and hope it won't get scared and run off? NO. You move slowly and cautiously. You take your time. You try to change the way the deer perceives you. If you go too fast, it WILL run away. However, if you get close enough for the kill and you hesitate, the deer will also run off. It definitely won't give you a second chance!

So maybe you screw up with one deer and it runs off. Do you run after it? NO. You find another deer. Even if you scare hundreds of deer away there will always be more. There's no point getting "attached" to any deer until you've caught it because it can always run away. I mean seriously...if you were really hunting deer you wouldn't tell your buddies "you know what guys, this one deer got away today but I'm gonna look for it tomorrow".
 

"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.

Coming from a hunter, this is a great analogy. Sure there is always the story of "the one that got away", but you never get too hung up on it. You just have to get out there and find another.

A wild Pokemon appears. It's a Suzanne. Suzanne uses attract. Don Juan becomes attracted. Don Juan uses ''mask scent''. Suzanne became confused.


I mean, really. Women are not like deers. One woman will think you are a ***** and will humiliate you if you ''mask your scent'' or in other words: pretend like you are not hitting on her. Another woman will hate it if you are too onvious about it. Women are too complex to use that kind of analogies. Not to mention that you are treating women like they have more value than you if you are trying to ''hunt'' them.

Yeah the scent masking thing was too much. As for having more value, I disagree. If you never try to pick girls up and never hit on girls you know, you will end up an old lonely virgin. You can't expect women to make the first move.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I talk to girls to give her a chance to get to know me and show me she is interested in me. If she isn't enthusiastic about a conversation with me she can go fck herself.

That's making the first move without a hunting mindset. :up:
