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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
yes to many of us are in jail but that is a side effect of the prevailing culture.. no need to go into that now..49au said:Because all the black men are in jail.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
At that point I don't consider them black. Why would I consider Mariah Carey black? It's beyond stupid. People are F'ing stupid in generalAtom Smasher said:It is a fact that our culture, by a vast majority, assigns more attractiveness to black women with white or european features.
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.

How the hell else are you gonna describe her in a sentence? "that girl with darker skin than a white girl but lighter skin than a really black girl"? What? Tell me.
Well she's not black to me. Or any person that see's her in person that did not previously know of her (if she went to another country where she's not promoted).Tyson420 said:I used to think Mariah Carey was white. But some of her features seemed Black to me. And I knew this without Googling her.
It was a long time ago. Doesn't matter, she considers herself Black. Her Hubby *Cough whipped slave* Nick Cannon considers her Black.
That's all that matters. *shrug*.
She's brainwashed because even though she has a predominately Caucasoid phenotype, she feels forced to consider herself black because she has some black family members. ODR is brainwhasing, completely a man-made invention, and has no biological truth, yet everyone including blacks treat it as gospelTyson420 said:That's interesting because most minorities wish they were white, it seems 'brainwashing' is a two-way street.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
She doesn't feel force , I mean obama is mix as well. But notion of american if you have any black in you at all. Even you look white your still a nigga. Its not brain washing white people don't accept her as white so she claim to black when she reality mix.TIC said:She's brainwashed because even though she has a predominately Caucasoid phenotype, she feels forced to consider herself black because she has some black family members.

I think she does feel forced and over time just came to accept it. I also think she's brainwashedcrazyboy said:She doesn't feel force , I mean obama is mix as well.

Not true. There are people who look fully white but have some black in them and are treated as white. This is because genetics can work in many different ways. Just because you have some black dna does not make you black necessarily. You could get genetics from anywhere and have a completely different phenotype than your black family members. There were people that did this even during the jim crow era...crazyboy said:Even you look white your still a nigga.
Brown Sugar....how come you taste so goodBlackMack177 said:All i got to say to your people who think no one thinks black women are attractive is learn your history
Back in the days of slavery, white men used to fvck their slave women all the time. They fvcked around so much that they created new races (puerto ricans, dominicans, etc). They used to commonly pick black female slaves based on how sexually attractive they were. They would even marry their black slaves over their more "beautiful" white counterparts
face it. Black women are beautiful
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
