How you guys deal
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.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
This. I learned it the hard way with one chick who went brought her ex up in nearly every damn conversation. It took me longer than it should have to realize that she just wanted someone to listen to her whining and didn't have any real interest in me at all. Ah well, live and learn.Buddha_Mind said:If she refuses to stop blabbing about it, clearly she's got some **** she hasn't dealt with and you ought to find a chick more emotionally available!
Then don't waste another minute on her.oneboy21 said:This chick mentioned about her ex while testing and she also texts telling me they are going to a party for new year eve. She also tells we were dating for a longtime and he always make me laugh!
According to Pook, the difference was between feelings and actions. If a girl talks about feelings, the girl is attached to the guy. If a girl talks about the boyfriend’s actions then you can take action.jafyk said:If you read the "The Book of Pook" you will learn that a chick talking about her bf is often an insight as to what is going on in that relationship. Listen to what or how she talks about him. If she's saying good things about him etc then she's not interested in you. If she's saying bad things about him then she's hinting at wanting you to rescue her.
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 swing the conversation away from it and if they swing back to it more than once after that (I operate on a 2 strikes rule, not including the playful warning) I cut the outing short and bounce. If they want to talk about the ex that means they want you to be their tampon. They have gay friends for that.oneboy21 said:How you guys deal
Well, she's not interested and seems happy with her relationship. Now you know not to waste your time. You move on.oneboy21 said:This is what she said
"Yeah should be fun, we dated for years I see him a lot. He makes me laugh which is good"
