Afganistan was meaningless? I thought that went pretty well.
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.
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.
Right on bro. lol! I was thinking the exact same thing. I've heard of worse frat initiations. I tried repping you but I guess the forum has decided that I need to spread the love before I give you anymore. lol!bigjohnson said:Wearing underwear on your head while being mocked by female soldiers is nt torture. In fact some Japanese businessmen pay big bucks for that sort of thing. Back on topic ...
Yes, it went pretty well the first couple of months after we invaded. Kinda like after we occupied Iraq, "Mission Accomplished", remember? As far as the Afagan situation is concerned, we are getting our a$ses handed there too.bigjohnson said:Afganistan was meaningless? I thought that went pretty well.
Ok, obviously you subscribe to the "Let's fight em there, so we don't have to fight 'em here" philosophy. Guy, there is a CIVIL WAR going on in Iraq and the neighboring countries? Have you not been notified? We invaded a foreign nation. There are riots, and bombings, and killings, and exectutions in Iraq. The civilians there would agree, they are living in not so good times.Deus ex Pianoforte said:What does the word "executed" have to do with the war? The OP jumped to conclusions and convicted the soldiers before we even have all the facts. Hardly "spin". And if this war was meaningless, there would be riots in the streets and most likely a WWIII.
Tillman wasn't killed in Iraq, haven't you paid attention? Or are you just warping this topic to suit yourself?Gangster Of Love said:Guy, there is a CIVIL WAR going on in Iraq and the neighboring countries? Have you not been notified?
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.
