"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.
What countries have you been to?

"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.

"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.

Probably the United States, but only because they have both Disney and Universal Parks. If that want a factor for me, It would be harder to choose a favorite

I arrive on Christmas Day back to the states in the evening. Hate The Air Port experience, Im not a big fan of riding 12 hour flights anymore and having to go through annoying TSA in Dallas.
"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.

Man one of the things Ive noticed since coming back to the states, is the people tends to be living in their own cocoon man. I just invited a few friends for dinner at a pub and they all canceled. Abroad this is not the case, I always have someone available to join me, even if it’s one person. We totally need to come out of our shell and live harmoniously in a virtuous manner so things can progress around here.

Yeah mon. I never got there but the southern Caribbean is great. Martinique was cool, island climate but French culture. The pastry was amazing but their body odor was rank.

Id like to visit Toronto someday and see how Liberal and artistic and trendy it actually is in person. I sense the people there are more open to have a conversation with you on the streets depending on the vibe of the venue.

Toronto is very diverse, maybe you might meet people within your own community here.

Yeah I thought about visiting, I have an aunt who lives there. Yeah I bet it’s just as diverse as Los Angeles but a little more pleasant and less polluted lol. Seems like a city where you can make a large social circle at your convenience in no time.

I don't have experience or bandwith to confirm or deny that...but I think if you are a clear ethnic (ie you are SE Asian) and connect with your own community there then you should do great. When I did have more bandwith in the past I wouldn't say it's easier to form social circles than another place, like the Philippeans. Life is hard here for allot of people and therefore tend to be in their own worlds. Most of non-chad reports of the place here generally has been negative. That's why I feel if I visited a South American country like Brazil or Carribean like Domenican Republics, or South East Asia, I would tend to be more social since that's more normalized in those places. Here is still mostly business mode most of the time.
