...
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.
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.
You gave an intangible answer to a tangible problem --- he is 5' 6" 240 pounds!!nicknle said:Haha, I did read it and I don't see how my response was irrelevant!
That was a "big" typo!!MicCheck1-2 said:Sorry that was a typo from typing too fast. I'm 140.
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.
Actually, I'm NOT wondering. I already know and I said why. I don't get a second glance because I'm ugly.You're THAT overweight and you wonder why women dont' give you a second glance?
Bad doubt. I've had people subtly say I was ugly. I was teased alot in school.i doubt your the ugliest living thing walking the earth right now.
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.
Theres no way we can help you if we dont know how you look, the smallest things matter, yea i know its hard and embarassing showing yourself to the public but its waht you gotta do if you want helpKev07 said:Post up a pic and we'll see what we can do for you
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.
This is all that needs to be said.Gamblor said:This thread inspired me to register and post a massive multi page heart felt response, citing reallife experiences that actually happened to me today. Then I got an error closing internet explorer on my last paragraph.
To summarize:
*****es make excuses.
Winners make solutions.
Stop ****ing crying, and focus on what YOU can do to IMPROVE EVERYDAY.
Life is hard. Deal with it. Maybe you should read the thread about the guy who lost his leg to give you some perspective on your "problems" cause the fact is no one likes a whiny *****.
If you can stop feeling sorry for yourself and take these words to heart you'll return to thank me later.
Plastic surgery. :crazy:Last Man Standing said:It is not his weight that is the issue -- it is his facial features.
So true... are all rockstars handsome? No the guy from Motorhead is ugly as fuc k but he gets laid all the time. Personality trumps looks in the long run, if you wanna one-night-stand work out and get a good body.Last Man Standing said:If you are not blessed with looks then you must over-compensate in other areas!! You have to be strong, physically, or strong in character, or strong in the money arena, strong athletically, or strong intellectually, or bold in attitude - pimp bold! Something else must transcend your physical looks!!
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.
