"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.

I'm currently playing Railway Empire, Train Sim, X-Plane, and still playing Battlefield1. I just got a new graphics card so it's nice to revisit BF1 and not have it be a slideshow.

Railway Empire is a lot of fun as you can create some pretty complex rail lines and its quite gratifying to watch your trains obeying your signalling and watching your cities grow. Train Sim is more for the atmosphere of driving a train through the mountains at night. X-Plane because I'm a pilot an it keeps me sharp. BF1 because I like to blow stuff up.

What are you guys playing these days?
 

"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.

I play a lot of old games. I've been beefing up an Amiga 500 and have been enjoying some of the games from Europe that never made it over here. A recent one is Rodland. It looks fvcking gay, but holy 5hit is it ever fun to play.

LOL, "Rodland" sounds like a substitute for a place that's a "Sausage Fest".

I just watched someone playing it in YouTube. It does look like fun.
 

"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.

All games you can play with a WOMAN! On a cheap DATE!
Here's a great gave from Finland that men and women tend to like: Molkky.

You set up around 12 numbered wooden pins together and you have a throwing stick. You get points for pins knocked down. You need to knock down pins to get a score of 50, the winning score. If you get over 50, you go back to 25.

Sounds lame but it's really catching on these days.

^ was at a party where that was set up.

Your post reminded me of Cornhole. The ultimate Social game. Good for conversations. Portable.

"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.

None, and I probably have a more high-end PC than all of you. If I did, I'd play Rainbow Six Siege or the new Modern Warfare. I read these days haven't played since May this year, I think. I've been reading, training MMA/conditioning, doing more outdoors, and sometimes diving into some pvssy (haven't been laid in over a month though). As of yesterday, I've been laid-up from vein surgery - have to walk around though, so this has Tempted me to open up a game and play (instead of read, which I should) but there's no point. I'm not gonna be the best or even half-best and it takes hours and hours and days and days to learn maps, shoot good, so I'm not gonna do That.

South Park tonight had a really good episode with a transgender take off of Macho Man Randy Savage. But there was a sublplot around a school board games club. It reminded me that there are a lot of really interesting and intricate board games out these days. They mentioned quite a few of them. I haven't really played that many, but I'm aware of them.

I always thought this game looked pretty cool. It's called Photosynthesis and has something to do with getting your trees the maximum amount of sunlight, or something like that. I have no idea about the gameplay or if it's any fun, but I think the board looks cool:

World of warships is the only computer game I'm playing now, very fun but sometimes frustrating.

I'll be playing doom eternal when it comes out since doom 2016 was already badass fun.
 

"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.
