"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

A rather idealistic outlook, wouldn't you say?

Men don't envy other men and look up to those with success, without feeling any resentment, heh?

History says otherwise.
you may be right.
but when you ask a little boy what he wants to be, he will probably say something like this: "i wanna be like batman/bill gates/etc because he is so cool" genuine admiration.
girls will say: "i wanna be x/y's wife or some actress/singer, and then all the other girls will be like wow" vanity and envy.

of course everything is open to debate and i am not hurt if proven wrong. sometimes you are right, sometimes you not.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Is that we're they're teaching here? To treat women like dirt?
Straight up serious question.

Of course you certainly don't want to idolize them either.
Eh, not treating women like dirt but not idolizing them like you said.

all very well but when that information gets into the wrong hands and used for selfish means (check out most threads on this forum) then you have chaos. there is a reason why the 'elite' keep things to themselves.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Asking this question you are IMO subconsciously putting women on a pedestal. A woman is not the end all be all in a mans life and vice versa. I would rather spend time finding a cure for cancer then waste my time being married or in a relationship. Hopefully this social construct crumbles. Most women would still find a way to claim finding a cure for cancer. You spend to much time trying to find a cure and not paying attention to me, so I banged your best friend.wahhhhhhhh Get your priorities are messed up relationships are overrated and when the time comes from them, learn enjoy and move on. You got work to do....DO IT

It's always good to give back. I remember when I first came here and I was a complete mess, fortunately someone helped me and lead me in the right direction.

What we speak about here isn't going to increase the competition substantially anyway, considering there is billions of women out there and only a few men that are going to actually look at themselves and go you know what, I am going to step up get rejected lots of times and put my ego aside and learn how to do this thing.

Even a lot of the advice that is on here is wasted, considering some guys do no field work and just read and send messages on the forums.

If a guy can take the advice on here and do something with it, then good on him. I also find some days I will be giving advice to someone then I will have a relapse of AFC'ness and I will be helped by that same someone.

We have come a lot further than most guys by helping each other out and acting on that advice, so from the looks of it we are winning and this works to our advantage.

To improve society we live in and its as simple as this: the more men that swallow the red pill the more those said men will put up with women's ****. After seeing that men are no longer putting up with their ****, they will change to appeal to men, thus creating a higher quality of women. So yeah, in theory we are only creating competition for ourselves, but we're also creating better quality women.

Ahhh, can you imagine that? A world with high quality women?
