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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
