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.
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.

Agreed, and I blame our society for that. Even from childhood women are encouraged (not condoned, encouraged) to be socially deceptive. You'll meet 100 introverted socially awkward guys before you even find one bonafide socially awkward girl - EVEN if she's fat or has a face like the guy from Machete Kills. Every group of 7's and 8's has at least one grenade that's just as mouthy (if not THE mouthiest) as the whole groupSteR said:This is definitely true. Women (on average) are far, far superior guys when it comes to reading social cues.

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.
Supposedly women are more skilled socially because in caveman days, while the men were out hunting, the girls stayed in the cave and socialized. Even today, men tend to focus on activities while women like to talk. As a result, they tend to have better social skills than men, generally.SteR said:This is definitely true.

how do those women initiate specifically? just eye contact or smile? if so then that is more possible, but odds are they would never initiate or start a conversation with a guy first they find attractive, also, but women do not need to be as good socially conversation-wise because they don't have to do the approaching and asking out, initiating in the beginning stages in order to make a relationship happen, and also that's why I feel there are more male late bloomers than female late bloomers in the dating and relationship game, scene, another reason to back up the argument about which gender has more late bloomers because many people argue and say that a womans dating market value decreases as she ages but for men it is the opposite, or it just stays the same for men, since women are at their most extremely sought after time, life when they are in their teens and their 20's, and maybe early 30's a little bit, and since men are expected to do the approaching and asking out, initiating, pursuing, that's why women are very likely to not be late bloomers like many men areNewJack said:Sup Potatohead,
Women are not aspie and their social intuition is *miles* ahead of our own. They are so far ahead of us most of the time, it can be scary to realize it.
Women don't necessarily prefer raw over romantic sex, it depends on the girl.
Women are *not* passive. You just may not be deeply socially involved, i.e. in situations where they are comfortable initiating. Most guys in pickup/SoSuave are not part of a social scene of any kind, so they dont get to see women initiating. But women initiate things all the time.
Especially as you get older, or are in a social circle, women will basically come on to you as strongly as guys come onto girls. (maybe not quite as strong?)
If you aren't experiencing this, at this moment you are 'on the outside'. Which is fine. Get into a situation where you are closer to people. Or dont, just do random approaches and escalate on one's that seem interested.
Either way, as you get to know more about the Mystery that is Woman, (I am not being sarcastic, by the way), you will revise most of these hypotheses. They are exactly as awesome as the person observing them is able to realize and himself be awesome. There is no limit to their potential awesomeness, the limit is in the observer.
The reason is that you only ever get to meet and date women who are approximately at your own level of self-realization. The women in your life are an accurate reflection of where you are at. Guys who say disparaging things about girls are at a low level of self-realization themselves.
(But thats very cosmic sh1t, ignore for now if it doesnt make sense)
he is telling the truth. in a weird kind of way. but if you go beyond the personal insults and the ego thing, you actually see a guy who accepts reality and uses it to his real advantage. not like others who kinda live in a delusional fantasy, a fairy tale version of the truth.kartofel said:no, you were saying that all criminals are alphas in their own way and get laid since women prefer them, because they can get sh*t done, forgetting that the bulk which is 98% of criminals out there are short sighted antisocial losers much like the character 'Jesse Pinkman' and I do know that for a fact since a lots of people in my family are in law enforcement
how does an arrogant guy like you rank up so much positive reviews in here?
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.
that guy never went out he just belches up his favorite hollywood fantasiesCrimsonPanther said:he is telling the truth. in a weird kind of way. but if you go beyond the personal insults and the ego thing, you actually see a guy who accepts reality and uses it to his real advantage.

that may be so, but i can relate to what he says. my experience is similar. as i said, read with filters on.
Zekko I use to not belive in that "80%" crap however recently my mind changed.zekko said:Supposedly women are more skilled socially because in caveman days, while the men were out hunting, the girls stayed in the cave and socialized. Even today, men tend to focus on activities while women like to talk. As a result, they tend to have better social skills than men, generally.
Then there are the alpha men who go through 80% of the women. All the women have to do is sit around and wait to be asked out by these guys, who will get to them eventually if they look decent. As a result, they tend to have more dating experience as well. At least more than the average schmuck.
I feel pretty good when I have half a dozen women in my phone texting me but 30? my buddy had so many women texting him he couldn't keep up and lost a lot of leads. He told me a couple times that it was overwhelming. How many men on here can honestly say, they felt overwhelmed because they had to many options?Hey Just on here looking to meet new people, I like to go out with my buddies and drink if there any cool ladies out here hit me up
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.
I'm bored so I'll play alongkartofel said:so I tried to distill what reality has taught me so far, could you review them pls
1. if women like you they make it easier for you and really obvious and if you aren't an aspie you can figure it out and you should only hit on them for max results
2. women are passive and you have to push it all day, every day, all the way
3. women are socially retarded and their intuition doesn't exist and they backwards rationalize their emotional choices basically they got the awareness of a 5 year old but get away with sh*t since people try to please them because they want to fvck them
4. women prefer raw sex over romantic bs that's pushed by media and social conditioning
5. getting laid in clubs is a waste of time for the bulk of normal guys, especially for the one's who have no significant experience with women that they could have gotten from hooking up through social circles while young
6. mental sanity and emotional strength above all, never rely upon women's cr@p since it's subject to change every single second
7. status matters a lot ..... but only in a certain circle, starngers will not approach you or care at all about your achievements

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.
