"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.

Background: About a week ago, I got a little bored looking for an apartment in online classifieds, and ended up in looking through the other categories. While checking out 'physical training', there happened to be an ad for 3 girls looking for a pole dancing instructor, to help them get in shape -- who also offered to host lessons at their place, since they'd thoughtfully bought a full-size regulation pole. I thought it had to be a joke. I (in my infinite wisdom) thought it'd be funny to set up a shell company email and ask them about their skill level and schedule, just to see what they'd say.

Well -- lo and behold -- I have a response. It looks like the ad was actually legit. They're a little out of practice but know the fundamental moves -- spin, inversion, blah blah blah -- and just need some help to put together a routine.

My brother suggested just rick-rolling them but now I feel kind of bad about it. There's no school or classes in town -- maybe I could actually set up a school and actually turn the joke legit?

I kind of feel like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6_pv_vRHKI

"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.

This is developing slowly. I've talked with 2 pole dancing schools about 2-3 hours away who are interested in expanding to where I live. The big issue is there's not enough existing clientele to run a devoted studio -- so any classes would have to run out of an existing dance studio as another discipline. Interestingly it seems like this is a fad (hot yoga?) with some momentum so maybe if I'm ahead of the curve I could clean up on it. Ha!

I encouraged the three girls to become instructors. I can't see myself staying involved in this long, since I have nothing at stake and will get cut out very quickly if it actually works and people start making real money... but man it's a great story! I really hope they're down with it.

At least I can use this opener: "Hey you're cute and seem like a cool girl... would you like to try taking a pole dancing workshop I organised? No, I swear, it's real" XD
