Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
Yeah, after awhile if sex is their only bargaining chip, they're deficient in other areas.I'm turning 35 and not so much as I did before, I try and see women more as assets.
Yes, so long as they young & attractive. Just today I was in a Clerk of Court's office, and there was this hot chick and her fiancé getting their marriage license. Even then, I looked upon her a sexual object.When you look at a woman.. Do you look at her as a sex object first?
Just curious. Not going to lie, I still look at women as sex objects first. It's just how I'm wired I guess.
It's OVER for Can'tEvenDateUglyCels.Women often will preemptively dump a guy who is dating down. I tried dating a few I wasn’t really attracted to. Every time, they picked up on the low interest and dumped me first.
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.
Depends. I've seen some 42 year old women look amazing. Granted, this was in NYC, but still drop dead gorgeous. I'm sure though, with make up, I wouldn't be surprised if she looked different. For sh!ts and giggles, I looked at one of those getting ready make up videos. It truly is amazing what fake up can do nowadays. It's crazy.Loaded question.
It depends on how old she is. and the man’s situation.
I dont think many guys would look at 42 year old single mother as sex objects, but they will look at them for maid services; to cook and clean for them
Same guys would smash a 26 year old woman in 2 seconds.
Other guys who want a family would take their time with the 26 year old, work on her to build something.
Any man who is married and has kids, would look at any hot women under 30 as sex object, no questions asked.
When I look at women. Yeah they are all sex objects, as in when I'm just going about my day, talking to random people e.t.c.When you look at a woman.. Do you look at her as a sex object first?
Just curious. Not going to lie, I still look at women as sex objects first. It's just how I'm wired I guess.
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.
I’ve arrived where you are already and I’m 31 lol. Put up with the high maintenance thing in my twenties wouldn’t consider it now. Bull**** meter goes off and I’m out right away, don’t tolerate it for casual sex eitherAt 31 I did. At 41 there’s a little more space. I’m more judgmental. I’m usually thinking about how old she is, whether or not she’s my type. And whether or not she’s the high maintenance type. The stuff I used to put up with at 31 I cannot imagine putting up with at 41.
But of course this is probably just a product of being more jaded, lowered testosterone, and perhaps having more options than I did at 31.
But honestly it has to be more hormonal than anything. In my 30’s there was no such thing as a needy and neurotic attractive woman. At 41, I can usually see it a mile away because I no longer have those rose colored goggles on amplified with raging hormones.
