"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Trump... Epitome of alpha.

I'm not in the mood to get into the whole alpha debate about Trump but I can tell you this much first hand. My daughter and I went to a Trump rally in 2016. We were within 6 x feet of him. The man has a presence like no other. A commanding, dominant, and positive presence like I have seen from no other human being. The positive energy in the room was off the charts. People were mesmerized; men, women, and children. Call it alpha. Call it whatever. But I was there and there was definitely more to it than just a guy talking to a crowd.
A naturally dominant man will exude a commanding presence.

Trump has it.

No one can fake that.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Trump is definatley not an alpha male, he does not have the alpha male looks. However, Trump is a business man.
Dude, lay off the big blockbuster hollywood movies. Napoleon Bonaparte was 5'7". Ghengis Khan appears as a chubby faced, neck bearded, little man in many depictions. I don't know many women, that would consider Adolph Hitler to have possesed "alpha male looks". What do looks have to do with it?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's even more reassuring to be able to understand why his strategy works.
Yeah, but he seems to lack the most basic of political skills. After his adventures abroad, he comes back to a complete mess in America... having to obfuscate and back-track... and God knows what.

I think the disaster with Putin stemmed from his egoism - all he could see was himself playing to his domestic base, and looking to defend himself on the stage against 'collusion'. He forgot that he was also supposed to be an international statesman representing the general interests of America.:D

What mess and what disaster are you referring to?

As far as I see, the Putin summit was a full success.

Mueller has an invitation to seek justice from the Russian individuals who allegedly "interfered" in an election, and likewise Putin would be able to investigate here in the US.

Working together is a success, not a failure.
Lol, you’re celebrating the destruction of America as a republic. If you love Russias quasi dictatorship so much go move there. Trump wants to be Putin.

Put down the kool aid my friend. The people were mesmerized because they’re part of a cult. He’s a great salesman I’ll give him that. He’s also a disaster. It’s pretty obvious he’s broke and his ties to Russia involve money laundering.

We will just have to agree to disagree. Good day Sir.
Disagree with what? Be specific.

Russian meddling in the election?
Trump siding with Putin over the FBI and CIA?
Meullers’ criminal indictments of Paul Manafirt and other Trump campaign officials?

Which ones do you disagree with?

I didn’t know any of those specific topics were on the table in this thread. I only mentioned the Trump rally that I went to with my daughter and what I thought of his character as a man. Not his politics. We will have to discuss the rest of those topics another time. The stock market just closed and I need to go check and see how rich I am today. Yeah right Lefty! Ok now I may be sipping too much Koolaide!

This bull market has been going on 9 years now. But you’ll credit this to Trump, right?
I’ve only been trading stocks for 2 1/2 years. I don’t credit anybody but myself for the money I make. Which is not a lot yet but I’m getting better.

It was a full success for Putin. Russia's international goals are to create instability by weakening alliances, and then fill the resulting power vacuum with Russian influence. Now Trump is doing all of that for them.

Can you imagine working at the FBI or CIA, and seeing your president, on an International stage, tell the world that he believes a KGB agent over all of his own people? Morale could not possibly be lower, I'm sure.
 

"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.
