Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
Just bumping this up for the new guys.RedPill said:Here's a question for all of you (especially whoever that was that busted out Hillary Clinton)... How many FEMININE chicks have you run across who are actually smart?
Now before any of you guys go into a rant about how the "treat 'em like kids" mentality is bad for business, do you really give a good god damn about how smart a woman is? Granted, nobody wants the chick who can't eat meat 'cause she's a veterinarian, but is this really what draws you to a female? FEMININE women, a rare commodity today, are like kids in the sense that they are highly affected by their emotional state. Do you honestly want it any other way?
Exactly!Mr.Sexy said:Treat all people as children. Not just the opposite sex. People crave acceptance. The more dominant you appear the more they want your praise. Dominance has NOTHING to do with your size. Sometimes the scariest men are the smallest. Study history.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
captain underpants said:Excuse me but women scientifically speaking are the less intelligent(logically) and less strong gender. Its a proven fact, but they aren't retarded so don't treat them like kids. However it doesn't mean all women are less intelligent then all men, so don't go in thinking they are idiots. Women are more intelligent in the EQ department. Both sexes have there pros and cons. It would be fair to treat them on an equal level.
Deadly_ripped said:I thought this post would have been closed once someone stated the obvious:
We are not talking about women's intellects or physical abilities or interests. We are talking about their emotion state. This board exists because men let their emotions get the best of them and do stupid stuff that keeps them from getting any a$s. Women are as much prisoner to their emotions and societally induced preconcieved notions about love and sex.
Their emotions are shifty, unstable, irrational, whatever you want to call it. THAT aspect of them is what you treat like a child, not necessarily in regular day-to-day conversating.
It's not about treating them like a kid physically or intellectually: it's about their emotions.
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.
weather you're young or old,people on this board should consider loosening up a bit maybe.
but anyway i used this tactic with success today. i made this chicks face red with laughter today by just like playing with her, teasing her, laughing with her, throwing sh*t at her, just like messing with her and treating her, in a way, like my 4 year old sister (though not quite as immature haha)
yup just be playful once in a while... thats what this thread means to me.. be playful, screw around, have fun
but then i'm in high school, where EVERYONES unserious and messing around lol. but then you can still have fun with older women also, my friend does that alot.
But if you treat her as an equal, what is the result?Leporello said:when one is a child one speaks as a child. But we are men, and should put aside childish things.
Some women are smarter than you. Some are dumber. Find your equal.
