"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.

A guy that drives a manual transmission?

I've on numerous accounts have had girls say this to me when they get in my car and notice it's a stick shift.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

manual is harder which means you are more able to handle things than those who drive automatic cars.

just like mountain climbing is sexier than collecting things ;)

are you serious?

I like the manual transmition because I have more control over the car and don't need to use the brakes all the time, but then again it should be about what you like more not what others think...

I'm not saying I purposely drive a manual transmission because girls find it sexy. I'm just curious why they do.

Because the stick is phallic lol.

All joking aside, I agree that it is a man vs machine control thing.

Plus it's not an easy skill to learn from a girl's perspective.

Plus girls might think it's a sports car feature that means the car is fast lol.

When people "like" things, it's usually for subconscious reasons that can't be explained. Like the saying, "attraction isn't a choice," what we don't like and like isn't because we consciously decide to like or not like something.

I suspect girls "like" guys who drive a stick because that gives them the "feeling" that the guy "controls" things, instead of being controlled.

You might say that the car represents the basic mechanics of life, and the stick represents his hands on approach to making life do what he wants it to do.

Again, nobody is thinking this consciously, but that's kind of the metaphorical feeling or impression that it gives.

Mechanics always say that it's better to use the brakes than to use the transmission to slow down. A brake is made to wear, and is a lot cheaper to replace than a clutch.

BTW, I've driven about 200K miles with a stick.

I dated a really hot dumb chick once. We went into my truck for the first time to go somewhere and she just couldn't wrap her head around the concept of shifting gears.

Her: Could you, like, not do that?
Me: What?
Her: Move that thing.
Me: You mean shift gears?
Her: Yeah
Me: (laughing)

She asked me questions like why other car owners don't need to shift gears and such. It was pretty entertaining!

This reminds me of a porn I watched in my teenage days.

Girl was at the rmv getting a road lesson. The instructor had her mimic shifting with her hands then he tells her to use her mouth which he then proceeds to take his "stick shift" out of his pants and has her practice on that.

This is just way over the top man.

Anyway, I taught myself how to drive stick, and also how to rebuild the manual transmission that came with the car I learnt on. Long story short, synchros are a much bigger PITA than your clutch will ever be, so I'd worry about that first. Same advice though. Downshifting to third is fine, but hard shifting into second regardless of what gear you're coming from is asking for trouble down the road.
 

"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.
