I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
This ..If you say "She's hard to read" she absolutely, 100% does not have interest in you.
The second the thought "She's hard to read" enters your mind, prepare your exit strategy. An interested, worthwhile girl makes it abundantly clear that she likes you. If she's interested in you, she will move mountains to see you and be with you.
Naturally, right at the beginning there can exist a gray area where you're determining her interest, but when your interactions become more established you need to cut away any woman that you think is "hard to read".
There are no exceptions. No man here on SS deserves a woman who is "hard to read". Even if she does like you and is playing games, this is not a woman who will add value to your life.
Get "She's hard to read" out of your life altogether! It is a disqualifier.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
1) A man cannot be universally attractive like women can. Given that fact, only pursue women who show interest. Don't try to manufacture interest. This is a colossal waste of time. Work within the subset of women who like your type.
2) Abundance mentality is paramount.
3) Never, ever allow yourself to be dumped. When you see it coming deploy a preemptive strike and dump her first.

yes agreed i usually give a girl around 2-3 weeks in which she has ample opportuinty to prove her interest to me whilst spinning multiple other plates of courseIn conclusion, I say that if a man is going for any length of time thinking, "She's hard to read", he is wasting his time. The ONLY women who are hard to read (after that initial brief period) are ones who are not interested enough.
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.

Simple, but IMO one of the most important rules when dealing with the ladies. Always be willing to walk away at any point. Whether it's the first meet or you're 6 months in.Always be willing to walk away
