"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.

Time for a new HB ranking system

OK so after being here for a couple months and seeing the types of ways people describe girls, I've noticed some inherent problems:

1.) our current system (1-10) is too subjective
2.) it doesn't really describe the purpose of us liking the girl
3.) it doesn't get to the point

So my suggestion is to use a new system.

Let's just make the girl either a 1 or 0.

HB1 = I would have sex with this girl
UG0 = I would not have sex with this girl

See this just lets everyone reading know that the guy posting would have sex with the girl. It leaves out ambiguity and gets to the point. Because let's face it... the only reason us guys rate girls is based on whether or not we'd do them.

Anyone agree?
 

"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.

FYI its been suggested on here probably a thousand times but will never take off. Although the current system has its downfalls, its easy, has stood the test of time and tells alot more than a binary system. Even though we may disagree on who is a 8 or a 9, in generally it gives alot better of a picture.

What may be bangable for you certainly probably isn't bangable for someone like me.

How about we use the scholastic grading system? C = Average; A+ = top notch; F = FAIL

That way, there would be no confusion what a 5 or a 7 is eh? And yes I completely stole this idea from 1up.com

true. nerds will always have the need to rate a girl on 'system'.
 

"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.

Agreed, this seems to come up every couple off weeks. It's completely silly and rather unimportant whether or not it's 100% accurate, as it never will be.

It's useful for understanding a girls frame, how she is used to being treated by men, etc. Beyond that, it's a waste time. Nothing you can say or do will make it any less subjective, and in fact, I'd argue it's strength lies in it's simplicity.

While your intentions are well, I would have to say I disagree with you.

Looks for the most part are OBJECTIVE, and only partially subjective.

Unless you have a fetish for fat chicks or women with oversized noses, buck teeth or other unattractive features, WE ALL WILL AGREE on what is attractive or not. My 8, might be your 6 or 7 since you don't like blondes. However, My 8 would NEVER be your 4 or 5.

Tell me, what man on this world would say that Catherine Zeta Jones, Natalie Portman or Monica Belucci were not beautiful women?

NO MAN WOULD, unless he falls into the category above.


Face it guys, if you think a chick is attractive, so do 95% of all other males.

I'd give Zeta Jones a 6 and Portman and Belucci kind 5s. None of them are ugly, but not what I'd want to do/date.

I'd give Winona Ryder, Gillian Anderson, and Catherine Bell 10s, and while most guys in here wouldn't rate any of them below a 5, you'd get a lot of 6/7s, especially for Ryder and Anderson.

True, fat women or women with really ugly faces will be most guys 0-4, but I'd give Beyonce a 0 for the fact that she's black while other guys in here would cut off a finger for a chance to f*ck her. She doesn't get any more credit to me than Oprah or Rosie O Donnell just because she isn't fat.

Dude....wtf??
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

In my mind, I have four possible ratings:

1) Any six ways from Sunday.

e.g. "Man, that bird is a six"
"A six? Are you kidding!?!? ...more like a nine..."
"Nah, I'd fvck her any six ways from Sunday"


2) Wouldn't say no.

e.g. "She's not bad"
"Meh, I guess she is ok"
"Yeah, but you wouldn't say no"


3) Any port in a storm.

e.g. "Hmmm... I might go and speak to that bird."
"She's nothing special, in fact she's a bit ropey"
"Yeah but I've had ten pints and haven't been laid in two months,
she'll do - any port in a storm"


4) I wouldn't touch her with yours.

e.g. "Oh my god, close your eyes before you turn to stone, there's a
hippopotamus looking at us."
"Jesus H. Christ.... that is an ugly beast"
"Yeah, I haven't been laid in 3 years but I wouldn't touch that
with yours"
