"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.

Living the life of Forgetting Sarah Marshall right now.

I bought a vacation package a year ago and had to travel by may, decided to invite this girl I’d been seeing. Things were on the down slide for a while but I (mistakenly) thought it’s better than going alone. We ended up breaking up 2 days before the trip.

Yesterday was my first day here. When I checked in, this beautiful brunette was helping me, and I bantered with her the whole time, even joked about the forgetting Sarah Marshall reference. Ended up getting her number even though she’s “not supposed to” give it out.

After I checked in I ran into this smoking blonde in the elevator, and bantered with her up to my floor. She had a kid with her, or so I thought. Later that night I ran into her on the beach, turns out it’s her nephew. We got a drink, talked for a little bit and then ended up going back to my room.

Life is crazy sometimes. Could’ve easily sat in my room and sulked. Put yourself out there fellas. 5 more days in paradise.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Nice man. It was like that when I stayed in Cancun. Hot women everywhere and no one knows you so you can do whatever you want.

Are you talking to women on the beach?

So is it best just to go up to women and talk to them, no matter where they are?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I've never let the lack of a companion retard my travels. That said, I think I'd rather go to Hawaii with others (a companion, or just friends/family, etc.) It's one of the 3 states I have yet to visit, along with AK & ND. (I could go to AK for the skiing, and I figure that one of these days I'll be somewhat near ND and just go there to cross it off the list.)

this is awesome. i always tell guys to stop being afraid of doing stuff alone. life is so much more exciting when you get out of your comfort zone.

not too long ago i spent time at a surf hostel in san diego. went alone and chose a hostel by choice. couldve got a normal hotel with all the amenities but whats the point in that?

made life long friends i shared living quarters with, met cuties from all over the world and it was right on the beach to boot. felt like i was in my early 20s again.

hawaii is def on my list. what island are you on?
I remember a college buddy telling me about the idea of going to the University of Hawaii for the summer semester. You get cheap room & board and spend all your free time on the beach, etc.

Wicked.

I had done a similar thing too. Bought tickets to SE Asia with an ex, she went crazy, we broke up. Two months later the departing plane takes off and I’m siting there alone on the flight. I had the whole two seat section to myself - which is literally like hitting the lotto on a full flight which has a duration of 21 hours - (she never got refunded and decided to just lose all the money she paid for ticket - loser move) and so the solo adventure began, I backpacked around SE Asia by myself, met loads of women - Vietnamese, Thai, German, Russian, Canadian, American and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve done.

Travelling and experiencing life alone is the greatest thing we can do, I think. And truth be told I’ll probably solo travel fifty more times. We will always be with ourselves, so we might as well cultivate the best and most rewarding relationship with our own self. And that my friends is the most attractive thing possible; when a person loves theirself wholeheartedly!

You handled it like a boss.

Really good thread here.

Of course. Not just on the beach, everywhere.
