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.
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I'm very much the same way. A cute, age-free face will grab my attention more than a drooping, lined face with a skinny body. As long as I'm able to attract women in their 20s, I'll keep fvcking women in their 20s.acw said:As a matter of fact...i'll take a slightly overweight 20 yr old over a Hot Granny.
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.
Some do, some don't. I don't know of anyone on HRT. My pirate wench from last year has a great bod, and HAD a really sweet face, but it crashed over the last two or three years. She's 52 now... maybe if she didn't smoke meth, she might at least have all her teeth.Scormus said:Honestly though guys don't their looks take a big hit post menopause, generally speaking?
Are some of them on HRT and still look youthful?
Old girlfriend of mine had hers tied when she was 27, and she was always wet.backbreaker said:oldest i had was 48. she was really really dry. but she had her tubes tied i don't know if that had anything to do with it
Although the OP is probably long gone, I have some answers to his questions, being the husband of a post-menopausal woman in her late 50's.seth03 said:Ok...after reading the responses to one of my threads about how easy it would be to get women more than half your age when you are in your fifties...I would like to know...what is it like to have sex with a woman who is 50+, 60+, or even older? I mean there are some hot 50-55 year old women out there that I would bang in a second at my age (27)....but what I want to know is...does it still feel the same when they get to that age? In med school I learned that as women get older, their sexual interest declines, their vaginas get dry and the vaginal walls thin, and it becomes more painful for them to have vaginal intercourse...among dozens of other things that just crash during that age due to menopause and reduced levels of certain hormones. That always sounded like hell to me, which is primarly why I created the thread about having sex with much younger women in my fifties and beyond.
However...if it isnt as bad as it sounds...then I really would not have a problem being with women who are between 50-70....when I am 65+ years old.
Anyone? Whats the oldest woman you have had sex with and how did it feel like?
ALSO....if vaginal sex really is as bad as it sounds for older women....do they just give blow jobs a lot more often to make up for it? Because that wouldn't sound like a bad tradeoff...
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
