"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Wearing pink [merged threads]

I've just bought myself a new pink and grey cardigan (thin grey strip so prodominently pink - light pink - the pinkest pink that you can get) and dropped my kids off at my ex wifes whilst wearing it. I heard her very overtly laughing out it saying to her friend (who's a woman) "he's wearing a pink cardy haha!" repeatedly. Then when she was within speaking distance to me she stopped, collected our kids and then carried on very loudly repeating the same thing. I remained cool and confident.

I have the type of lean body that can carry off a tight fitting pink cardigan but, admittedly, she has never seen me in one before.

What do you think to her reaction?

"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.

Thanks Aaron I know what you're saying...why should it bother me ha! Any other opinions on this? Other girls seem to like it so why the really over the top, make it obvious laugh out loud? Was she testing my confidence?

I say FVCK the bytch! After all, she's your EX wife, right? Why would you give a damn about the opinion or behavior of your ex wife? She's ex, story is over, she doesn't matter anymore, fvck her...

Seems to me she's trying to get at you, something most ex wifes try to do with their ex husbands when there's still contact after the divorce (due to a kid, financial issues you have to solve together or whatever). They keep playing mindgames...

You said you remained cool and confident. Well, stick with it...be unfazed by her behavior. Certainly don't come on here talking to us about it, coz that means she succeeded in her bytch ass mindgames and DID get to you! You shouldn't give the incident anymore thought at all, not even a second...coz that's exactly what she wants, she wants you to think about it, it's her way to have influence over your mind and it seems to be working. DON'T GIVE HER THE SATISFACTION.

Be happy, live your life, fvck lots of bytches and don't give any thought to your ex wife at all. Be above it.

She sounds like she has something to prove, but you were completely alpha in this situation. Good job.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Read the book of Pook's last section entitled "Endure"

Apart from that, speaking from experience, there's nothing an ex wife hates more than to see you moving on and improving your life.

If nothing else, next time you're afraid to approach that new chick, or feeling too lazy to complete that last rep in the gym, imagine that your inactivity to do so is another point for your ex wife's ego

Wear the cardigan again

It probably doesn't matter what you wore. She'd find SOMETHING to criticize right?

Either way stay cool and it is HER that is looking like she has issues, not you.

Thanks for all the responses. Make sense. I've just read "Endure" - very encouraging. I just keep getting better :)
 

"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.

Fag. Why the fuck were you wearing pink in the first place?
Fag? Sorry to disappoint you :eek:

It attracts attention and it can make a good talking point. Not that I'm suggesting wearing it everyday or anything but it works for me to wear it every so often :yes:

Don't put too much weight on most of the stuff San Jose California writes. Just look at his post history and tell me how much you value his opinion.

I've worn pink shirts before, but it's a vibrant pink button up from Express. It fits well, and I always have guys trying to tool me (just say something like "Just trying to impress you, man") and women commenting on it, stuff like "it takes a real man to wear pink" or grabbing me. It's pretty fun. But that's just for going out to clubs. I've been SWARMED by girls on the dance floor a few times, there were at least four of them sandwiching me, dancing.

In my opinion, a light pink cardigan is a little fruity, but if cardigans fit with your style and the color works for you, then F*CK what I think about you. Do what you want, let the haters hate.

I have a lot of pink shirts. I wear like 1 pink shirt every 2 weeks so I don't go overboard. It gets the ladies attention when they see me. That's the purpose.

Im not 100% sure it has been a long time, but i think this guy goes to gay clubs and is affiliated with a lot of homosexuality. His opinion on pink t-shirts may be flawed.

If it makes you happy and increases confidence, wear it. I had a pink shirt wearing phase. From experience, a good tan should help you pull it off best. Good times.

Wearing a pink shirt every two days is going overboard. I'm sorry guys but why do you wear pink shirts. Is it cuz you think you're different so you can pull it off? I think it's just gay, or a pathetic cry for attention.

Dude, you can't talk about ANYBODY crying for attention. You're a grown-ass man, who made a 6-page thread getting frustrated about busting your ass to get head from a 16-year-old girl and the fact that you hang out with 10 and 11th graders and nobody your own age. Watch what you say, before I put you on full blast. If they want to wear Pink, then let them. I don't have any pink shirts (other than a tie and a dress shirt) but I'm going to get one eventually. To each his own, and for you to call somebody a faggot for doing so, says a lot about yourself. There's a reason why nobody takes you seriously nor values anything that you say.

Physically, pink isn't even a colour, because it doesn't exist in the natural light spectrum :D
 

"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.
