"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
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.

"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.

What you describe is certainly not my experience...Women are hard wired to reject,the weak,infirm,handicapped,rejected...In this they are as vicious as any Wolf,who will turn on a badly injured comrade in some fight,and tear him to pieces...They are engined and gunned for one thing only,to raise the strongest offspring!

No, right around my age at the time, 23-24ish.timmylivingalie said:
This was 30 years ago. I did wonder if changes in the dating scene would have any effect. The biggest difference between then and now is the percentage of obese girls. There are so many fat women now that it has driven up the value of girl with decent figures. Apparently I'm still attracting girls in their 20s though, I'm somewhat surprised to say.Jitterbug said:
Well, my memory's a little fuzzy, it's been awhile. I recall ending it with one of the girls because she wasn't my type. I think we just drifted apart as we moved on to other people. You know how young people are. None of these were any of the great loves of my life by any stretch.Warrior 74 said:
That would be my expectation as well. However, I find that in the real world, people don't act quite so rigidly as their theoretical stereotypes.Scaramouche said:

Still, I'm going to test that tactic. Tomorrow I'm going to whine about Zekko's love life to several women. I'll report back my findings.
