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.
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.
Maybe it's YOU who has the bad breath...and she's shielding herself from smelling it...LOLOriginally posted by Pac_Man
Why do women when you're talking to them cover their mouths when they are talking close to you?? I've always wondered this. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I think this is the only time I'll agree with you.Originally posted by JT47319
Because they don't want you to shove your **** down their mouths.
Really, does it ****ing matter in a sarge? It's not an IOI, or if it is it's not a big enough IOI to matter much.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
i think you covered all of em.Originally posted by Elfynne
It could be one of four reasons:
1) They have bad breath,
2) they think something is funny and they are trying not to laugh,
3) an unconscious nervous gesture (it could mean they like you), or
4) they have crooked teeth and they don't want you to see them.
