"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.

what is a real man?

"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.

Dunno. What's a "fake man?"

I remember the "real man" list when it was a big fad to make lists. Actor James Garner was either at the top or near it. You know, from The Rockford Files. Supposed to be that "real men don't eat quiche," "real men don't use answering machines," and so on -- things that character Jim Rockford did.

Just goes to show, if you're a handsome movie and TV star, you can do whatever you like and be called a "real man."

Now I'll make a quick exit from this thread before Burroughs points out the jizz slurping that so many Hollywood "real men" did on the casting couch.

Ive read that even Audie Murphy had to be a punk

for Jimmy Cagney, to 'break into" Hollywood. Even the world's greatest warrior and a handsome young guy to boot, had to pay that price to get into that "game". Sheesh, what a crock. Just because guys work at a difficult dangerous job does not mean that they are smart, or decent, or not rapists or child molesters, you know.

A man is a man, that is it. There is no such thing as a real man, people just use the real man thing to pressure you to do things you don't want or don't care doing.
 

"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.
