"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm curious what percentage of members have achieved their own goals.

There are three states: married, in a relationship and single. For each state there are two options: happy and unhappy. Thus, there are a total of 3 x 2 = 6 choices. I think that covers them all.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Separated and in a LTR. Being separated wasn't really my goal, but I've upgraded to a better woman.
To clarify, for this poll, separated = single, because it can't possibly be considered (by experienced forum members, though maybe AFC's) to be a happy relationship.

I find it hard to believe the 100% of forum members are happy.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Single, although in the early stages now of dating a few women.

My happiness varies. Somedays I feel great, others not so much.

Single and happy in overall. Feeling depressed sometimes that I'm still a virgin but I'm very satisfied in overall with my progress with the results of last month.

My goal for March is to improve my game on the real world and try to be more funny and escalate more.

Is she out riding the c0ck carousel, or does she sit at home and knit while you're out getting laid?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Lol. Sitting at home. She knows what I do, but it hurts her whenever I bring it up. Even when I'm kidding about it. So I won't tell her what's going on unless she asks.

You've created an imbalanced situation, which cannot last.
At some point she is going to wake up and not put up with it anymore, unless she has zero self-respect. This is the "it is the nature of plates to spin out" rule.

But it doesn't sound like you care about her anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
