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.
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.
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.
iPhone owning women are more pretentious. If you're a "cute" or "hot" white woman in the United States, you're usually middle class or higher, have elevated levels of pretentiousness and own an iPhone.Although there are exceptions to the rule, I've found that iphone women are usually more pretentious. That's a trait that I personally find unattractive.
Accurate.Because its a status symbol. Women love status symbols. They are massively overpriced and women love to buy objects that are massively overpriced.
Androids are much cheaper and for the "poor" people or for the tech savy people. Women dont want to be seen as poor and they are not truly tech savy.
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.
Is a man who owns an iPhone but no other Apple products beta or alpha? That question may be impossible to answer. I think you are saying that men who own Apple products in multiple categories are betas.The guys I know with apple stuff are all wealthy, professionally successful and personally betas.
Nope Im just saying that in my observations (limited to my everyday reality) the men I noticed with apple tech are wealthy and professionally successful but far from being masculine or dominant.Is a man who owns an iPhone but no other Apple products beta or alpha? That question may be impossible to answer. I think you are saying that men who own Apple products in multiple categories are betas.
The majority of men are betas. That'd be true for both iPhone owners and Android owners.
I think more men own Samsung and other Android OS brand phones than women. It is so rare to see an attractive white woman with an Android. More non-white women likely have Samsung and other Android OS brand phones.
As much as I rag on mac/iphone people, I could come across as a hypocrite. I actually own an original (the model that is over 5 years old) Iphone SE. I wanted a phone that was still up-gradable for the five apps that I use and under $100.00. It does the trick.Is a man who owns an iPhone but no other Apple products beta or alpha?

Herd mentality, coupled with ostracising from the herd. owning anything less than the herd, strikes fear to the dark chambers of their heartWhy is iPhone the smartphone of choice for attractive women as compared to Samsung and other Android phones?
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.
Nice guys are bad. My core group of friends don't have any nice guys. No major a-holes either. Most are in between. Some of my longer term relationship friends are moving away from a more dominant frame. I think that's bad.Think of your high skilled professional with a good salary that still behaves like a nice guy and fails to get what his position could provide him.
Do you think women judge men negatively for owning an iPhone vs. an Android? I'm mainly asking in one specific scenario. If the initial interaction is done in person (no swipe app) and the man takes out his phone to get a woman's number, does she think less of him for owning an Android?Herd mentality, coupled with ostracising from the herd. owning anything less than the herd, strikes fear to the dark chambers of their heart
Are you an attractive woman?I prefer an IPhone because they are more secure. I’ve done digital forensics on both iPhones and Androids and can personally attest to this.
