"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

October 7 2001. Less than a month after 9/11 i signed up here. I was fat as ****, long hair, and cooked teeth and only been with one girl from 19-24 nothing. Then got a girlfriend who acted like she didn't want it, broke up 4 months later, random dates/sex but rare but increased when I lost weight in 2008 to a few a year then ran into a women I used to know when I was 30 who was now attracted to me, dated for a month, gives me bull**** reasons, met a friend who was all into pickup so went balls to the wall the next 2.5 years with that, **** tons of women and crazy **** until I met the one who became my wife. Dated 5 years married 5 years separated then divorced over the last year and a half. Lol some of you were literally infants maybe not even burn yet when I signed up. Sadly I didn't actually use the material or got involved until 2010, several women and pickups for 3 years then met my wife so I've been inactive more than active the last 22 years. Divorced now so here I am.

I guess all this is what happens when you haven't had a non-work conversation in a few days. Lol

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I may have had an earlier account than this one.. but somewhere close to you. 2002.

Sorry to hear about your divorce. Been with the same woman since 2006.. married since 2009 and got damn damn close to divorce starting late 2020. I'm back...

Do you have many friends now. You can definitely go out and game solo. I do it. It's been catch and release for me because i've been reconciling with my wife.

I wasn't on the forum in 2001 but I was interested in seduction then, as I am now. 2001 was when I first started reading some stuff about attraction and seduction.

Non-bar approaching is perfect for this.

i've been reconciling with my wife.
Iron Rule of Tomassi #7

It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was.

Welcome back. This is proof, you should never stop focusing on your growth. Never lose your individuality and yourself in the process. Keep learning and never let a woman get comfortable.

"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.
