It just hit me. I wonder haw many people are gona be hanging on the internat (this forum) on a new years (party day of the year).
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.
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.
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.
eh...to each his own I guess. Maybe you went to "low-quality" clubs?Originally posted by Inc. ©
When I first turned 21, I spend about a year going out almost every Friday and Saturday nights to the stupid clubs and trendy bars. I'm not going to say its a waste of time, but its an experience, and it's a past experience. I laugh now when I read the main forum and some guy talks about his "approach" at the club as if that is some kind of accomplishment. I had plenty of approaches at the clubs and crowded bars, but any loser can do that so its worthless. You'll meet low quality women. I'm not saying not to have your fun and your one night stands (I still do on occassion), but Friday and Saturday nights aren't nearly as appealing to me anymore. If I do go out on those nights, it's going to be to a mellow place. I understand most of the posters here are 22 and under though.
Aren't people these days trying to get enougn drinking and clubbing experience before they actualy turn 21 (using fake id etc)? It seems it is not that fun when you are allowed to do those things anymore... At least this is what I noticed.Originally posted by h2o
I don't know, I just turned 21 this summer, I'll be taking advantage of it for a while...again, to each his own...
