"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

What's yours? For me, it has to be at age 16 and I was writing her sweet love poems. She liked me a lot and I fvcked it up by showering her my emotions. But one thing for sure, It made me find my passion in Poetry and literature and art and channeled it elsewhere into other matters besides relationships and romanticism. So what about you guys? What is the most 'ridiculous' thing you've ever done to impress a woman?
 

"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.

I’m surprised no one bothered to respond….you gotta lower your ego when it comes to this stuff and success, why not start now? I went to a chick’s house my sophomore year in High School and gave her presents lol…absolutely dreadful and not to mention predatory. Okay who’s up for a confession?

To be fair I just noticed this thread....

I bragged about being a martial arts tournament champion (it was true) after hearing a woman brag about being super good at jujitsu. I didn't back down and had a silly look on my face because I wasn't going to be impressed by talk. Then she mentioned a specific technique and I said "Oooh. Well assuming you are able to pull that off, I'd probably be aroused first and forget to tap." Surprisingly she was especially disgusted (outwardly at least) toward my mind going there. She was definitely an HB7 with incredible thighs and a decent set of knockers. Face was great and so was the hair. Shame.

I don't think there's too much I could have done at all, but I was trying really hard with her and was interested big time. SO in my 22YR old brain I thought, "She's bragging, so I need to brag more to impress her." It didn't work out how I'd hoped.

Another was when I got up to sing karaoke (I'm by academic accounts a 'choir boy') and can really carry a tune. I've never had formal opera lessons, but I can perform well enough that only a pro or seasoned vocal instructor can immediately tell. Long short of it is I don't fvck up singing. ESPECIALLY if the hard part is pre recorded and all I have to do is sing along. Karaoke is super easy even if you eff up the pitch and get the timing right for greater than 80% of the song. That's just my opinion. Well, this HB8 told me (And I have zero doubts, ZERO that she would have!) "If a guy sang me ____ song, I'd ask him to take me home RIGHT NOW."

Remember when I said I don't fvck up singing? When you've had about 8 drinks, confidence be damned, you'll probably sound worse than you normally do. And I did. She was embarrassed for me and wouldn't even look at me. I paid my tab and waited outside for my buddy to be come out. I didn't really expect much to happen. Shouldn't have tried that and just invited her to come back the next weekend so I can "do the song justice." But because of the other 8 things I shouldn't've done, I didn't think at all. HAH!

Another one was by trying to do selfless acts of service like doing dishes or tidying up if a woman who invited me over complained about what wasn't done. What's worse about that is this was 23 year old me. haha! And it gets worse! She was a 5tripper to boot! I'm sure I could write a few more, but those are the ones that stick out.

I almost sold my house to buy another one because the chick, who was from the suburb I was from and was living at the time, said it wasn't good. After that ordeal, I gained the necessary fortitude that a man must have when dealing with poon.

I'm getting a custom house that will be the one that I will leave "in a box", and for any chick that would say something about it, I'd say that it will be easier to get new woman than a replacement house.

Good question!
All men have some sort of fault in here.
Think about strongest men in history got caught by oneitis too.
Men like Emperors had their crushes too.

What a man will "do" for a woman is related to the amount of money, power, status influence he have.

In my scenario, I've done many stupid things

When I was 19, I was dating this super hot chick, Tabby. She looked a lot like Veronica Leal. It was a hugely chaotic and fiery relationship with lots of arguing and yelling and of course hot s*x. We broke up one day and that night I drove up to her place about 20 minutes away. She was 18 and lived with her mom. It was like 1:00 in the morning and I parked down the street and walked to her house and threw rocks at her window. Eventually the light came on and she got up and looked out the window. We each said we were sorry and got back together.

About 2 weeks later we had another blow-up. So I did the same thing, drove up there and threw rocks at her window. The light comes on and I'm like "Great! She's coming out." It was her mom. She said Tabby didn't want to see me anymore, bitched me out, and told me to go home. I was crushed, hung my head, and walked back to my car. It was like dropping a game winning touchdown on the last play of the game. I was deflated.

A few months later, we had a couple fun rendezvous but never dated again. I also banged once her about a year or two later.

About 10 years ago, someone told me she got busted with meth and still lives in that small town in Wisconsin. I saw a picture of her. Pretty rough looking now.

Dodged a bullet.

The End.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

In middle school (junior high), I told everybody in class who my crush was. I had this idea that, if everybody knew, they would encourage her to date me.

It didn’t work out that way lol.
Did you have all your hair back then?

Was the change as stark as this? :eek: :eek:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Deliberately picked my nose in front of my Mom when I was a little kid because I wanted to show I was honest.

In high school, the girl I had oneitis for, with whom I had only reached second base, stole my hoodie. About a month later, when everyone was hanging out and she knew I would be there, she brought it back to return it. When she tried to give it back, I told her to keep it for now. In my head, I thought that if she had the hoodie, she would have an excuse to see me again.

The hoodie was long gone.

I've never been one to worry about impressing anyone. If you like me you like me, if not you can go on down the road. Not a big deal either way. Being authentic to yourself is the ultimate freedom.

What's yours? For me, it has to be at age 16 and I was writing her sweet love poems. She liked me a lot and I fvcked it up by showering her my emotions. But one thing for sure, It made me find my passion in Poetry and literature and art and channeled it elsewhere into other matters besides relationships and romanticism. So what about you guys? What is the most 'ridiculous' thing you've ever done to impress a woman?

Confessed to number one beauty in middle school with other girls present. She was around HB8 and very popular. I was told off because I was severely overweight and poor. After that, the girls did some bullying too, but that was only psychological, nothing serious.

I had some family circumstances around this time and got depressed. Things went downhill from there but the memory of HB8 strangely fueled me. It wasn't in a sexual way, rather it was idealism. "Everyone only likes strong people. I want to be strong!"

So I spent 10 years. I lost weight, got money, got a decent physique. As I reached the finish line, I started making my peace with it. "HB8 from back then must live somewhere else by now."

One day, goes into a low-end supermarket, and sees HB8 working at the entrance. Still looking pretty, still remembering me. Stereotype situation unfolds. She was giving me signs left and right, even acting needy and shy. Not a trace of the extroverted and confident beauty. Fate practically handed me my childhood crush on a silver platter. The type of fantasy every loser is drooling over.

For added effect, it was a cold winter day around Christmas. Almost nighttime, that supermarket was opened longer than the others, normally I wouldn't go there. I just so happened to be well-dressed that day and even had a fresh haircut too.

She was being obvious enough to get laughed at aloud by her colleagues. She looked like she teared up a bit. It was before I knew any DJ stuff and I had zero dating experience. I thought she was messing with me somehow. At the time, it seemed surreal and distant.

I went home, time passed, days turned into weeks. It eventually hit me. I started to laugh like a madman. "I tried THIS hard, but didn't go for it?" Some more manic laughing followed. I wonder to this day why I had failed right at the illusive finishing line I set for myself.

Of course, I went back there eventually. She acted like I didn't exist. Can't even blame her. I was an absolute imbecile. From her point of view, it must have looked like I got some pity revenge on her. I went out of my way to show up two or three more times. But she continued to act that way. One day she stopped working there. It might have looked like I was enjoying looking down on her till the end. From my point of view, I always liked her, even if I was kind of a punching bag for her sometimes. It beat being excluded by my classmates and all alone. So I was actually thankful to her.

It reads like I'm a world class simp, but I don't care. Improvement is a process.

I realized that money and looks are no longer my main problem. I need to learn this social stuff. And that's how I ended up on SoSuave.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
