"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.

When it comes to women, it's all about power, baby.

Which is another way to say it's all about perceived value. Jack is a fat, aging, and out of shape lump of flesh, but women willingly blind themselves to that fact because perceived value eclipses the mere visual. There's a lot for us to learn in that. Of course he did establish himself when he was younger and thinner, though I don't recall him ever being in great shape.

We should always be asking ourselves, how can we increase personal power and how can we project it?

If I were to describe jack in one word I would say "ruthless". Ruthlessness is a huge turn-on to women but like anything else it must be calibrated. Hence our constant dilemma. Wouldn't it be nice if we were able to paint on a face every day and attract the opposite sex just by virtue of a little putty and paint?

This is why it is man's righteous place to rule the world. Men FORGE themselves. Women paint themselves.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yeah, he's never seemed like the gym rat type. My ex-wife used to like to watch Terms of Endearment. There's a scene in there where he takes his shirt off to have sex with Shirley Maclaine. My ex-wife would always laugh at his huge gut hanging out, but she was still clearly charmed by him. I think he was around 46 when he was in that.

It just goes go to show you don't have to be a slave to the gym to be popular with the ladies. Jack has never been the Greek god type, but he does have a distinctive face (presumably handsome) - very big smile, lots of capped teeth no doubt. But I think the secret to Nicholson's popularity is force of personality.
