I don't know, I don't know why most people think we men, males have the upper hand
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.
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.
No one has the upper hand. We are not at war with the females here. We are fighting with other males for mates. What you want is an upper hand against other guys. Don't you get this?initiatorhater06 said:I don't know, I don't know why most people think we men, males have the upper hand
Well you can do the same back to them. Girl A is prettier than you, Girl B has bigger boobs than you and Girl Z is younger and fresher than you. You will never get what you want because no girl has it all, but you can still manage to make them feel inferior nonetheless.bigneil said:That's true CoolBlue, but many women feel that they are entitled to a man who has all of the best qualities of all the men who ever used them for a one-night stand. Guy A had more money than you and Guy B was prettier than you and Guy Z had a nicer body than you. These women never get what they want because no man has it all, but they can still manage to make us feel inferior nonetheless.
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.
Yep. And taken by the other.Chronocidal said:Incidentally, what about homosexual relationships? Is sex something that's "given" from one particular partner to the other?
Everybody would do so,the problem is that the HB7 you're talking about behave no different from the H10.RSanders219 said:I would never date a woman just because she is attractive, I will tell a *****y HB10 who has no life or plastic personality to take a hike if she treats me like sh1t, and would take a loving, caring, HB7 girl over her any day.
When I look around to date girls, I tend to look for ones that I can actually see something lasting. Not just a one night stand.. I've been there and I don't really like it.
Weirdly, there are actually more women than men in the world. A lot of guys are busy shooting each other in the desert.Hey, this phenomena should be studied more closely. It feels like there is indeed too many men around. If we were in cavemen times, I would simply club most of the guys over the head.
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.
Well said.penkitten said:the moral of the story:
if you meet a chick that seems to be going off a list of criteria - simply remind yourself that she is lost. she doesn't know who she is yet. she doesn't know what she wants yet.
you don't want to end up with someone who isn't whole anyways. you are looking for someone who has a foundation and you are not looking for a broken barbie sitting on a shelf.
pass up those feelings of rejection, because they are not about you.
she is trying to "qualify" men she meets just as you do the same to the women you meet.
I hear this said a lot but does it manifest in real life? Hell no. Go to any bar and its a sausage fest. Same with clubs. You'd be very very very lucky to have something close to a 1:1 ratio at these places. Most times, the numbers favor women.

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.
This is essentially what I was saying in #133 in this post, (while thinking everyone would say I was crazy).Atom Smasher said:We are struggling with the opposite sex, men, like never before in history. The problem lies not with us, but with the absurd expectations of women, even the fatties. The proliferation of mass media has been steadily eroding the minds of both men and women since the 60s, and believe me when I say that except for a few exceptions here, most of you younger guys are the product of an extremely femminine educational and societal system.
^ What this guy said. No one wants a boring ass girlfriend. If she's hot, keep her around for the body a little bit until you can't stand her.iliketennis said:yeah but if a girl is hot then all you want to do is **** her. nothing else. girls have to have a lot more in order to get and KEEP the guy they want.
That's BULL****. The game was never rigged. You want to know why it's stacked in their favor? Because that's all they do.nismo-4 said:Women choose unless you have high qualities about you (money, status, etc.) at which point YOU choose. This game has always been rigged in the women's favor.
lol. Man I can't STAND IT when some hot girl puts a sexy pic of herself up and a whole legion of dudes tell her how "beautiful" she is....and then she puts up more and more and more and they keep coming back and telling her how hot she is. Ugh....Nygard said:But since the market is butchered, she thinks she only deserves 9s and 10s because her legion of stupid, ugly, ****less orbiters tell her she's a princess (On Facesuck, obviously.The root of all evil), hoping they may get lucky someday.
eh not really. a non-hot girl is kinda stuck with how she looks. confidence and talking right can be learned.initiatorhater06 said:Seriously, it's easier for a girl to be hot than it is for a guy to be confident and talk right
