"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Anyone ever come across any of these terms before? I've read a lot on these 3 topics over the last week or 2 and it has really been a positive rewarding experience.

I can honestly say that the reason for all my girl problems in the past was because of these 3 things. And I'm willing to bet many AFC's also suffer from these issues. I wish I knew about toxic shame and love-shyness a long time ago, and I feel compelled to give everyone else the heads up. Become more aware, so to speak.

Download the love-shy book. Its free. The parallels to AFC's are strong. The author of this book, treats love-shyness much like a psych disorder and his work is backed by research and many case studies of love-shy guys. He offers treatment and causes. Its quite interesting.

Having visited the love-shy yahoo group support forum I realise that they are no closer to a solution than we DJ's are. A lot of the guys over there are also heavily into seduction and frequent sites like sosuave. Could make for a good discussion...
 

"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.

Love shyness. Is that where you just get all sort of embarrassed to kiss your mother? Oh sorry, you're talking about the one which is intrinsically linked to your cvck. Fear of intimacy. Is that where you wear a double set of underwear in a maximum security prison in case another inmate gets too friendly? Oh, something different again.

Avoid cliches, pop psychology and such things at all costs. By all means tell your girlfriend that you don't have a handle on things, that you're in a mess and want mothering. That will be about as reassuring as having an airplane captain tell the passengers that he's lost power in all engines and he isn't sure what to do next.
