thoughts?
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.
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.
That about sums it up.Tiguere said:abundance versus scarcity
this then dictates supply and demand.
simple economics
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.

Lol, as unlikely as it sounds, studies have shown women may be better at reading facial expressions from infancy. Your interest will very likely show in your body language/facial expression, and so will anxiety. Thus the "just be yourself" and the like. Women, with their life so dependant on having a finely honed ability to gauge nonverbal cues, could quite possibly smell duplicity on you, if not consciously at least via "vibes".jarworpar said:Where did you read that at? LOL...showing interest in a woman dosen't automatically make her lose interest in you. But to respond to the original question, making yourself too available does often turn a woman off. The solution is to simply have other things going on in your life, such as hobbies, personal projects you're working on, etc.
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.
If so many men are angry & frustrated it just means that feminism exposed the collective weakness of those men. A lot of us have been weeded out because we struggle to adapt. I know the validation of having a woman or women can make you feel pretty good but most of my happiest moments didn't involve females or sex at all. I think on some level dudes just need to find some other avenue to happiness.Maxtro said:The more I learn about women, the less and less I like them.
I can relate to this. They've become objects of curious amusement to me. The way a male cat views a female cat. I've always been against the idea of serious commitment, learning more about women has me 100% willing to remain single for the rest of my lifespan.
Just about everything involved with them is counter-intuitive. They almost seem like children who don't know what's best for them and will fight with you just because.
Then it would probably annoy you that a good majority of men that are adept at attracting females can out do most of them at being immature. You'd be amazed at how effective a 8 yr old like tantrum is at getting girls to do what you want.
I find myself longing for the days when women were property.
Hell no. Women being property implies I have to dedicate time & resources for their maintenance, feminism has spared me that unfortunate torment.
Why waste my time trying to win her over when I have the size and strength to just take and break her? (like a horse)
Try hoodrats, I hear this technique is quite effective on those types. In all seriousness if you a girl is attracted to you, she will allow this to happen to her.
But no, men are civilized now and women have rights. Well, look where that has gotten us. Millions of angry and frustrated men. Only the small portion of men who "get it" are happy.
That's like saying if you cut off our oxygen supply and we suffocate, then you just exposed our collective weakness.Kirro said:If so many men are angry & frustrated it just means that feminism exposed the collective weakness of those men.

Having testosterone is not a weakness, it is the male condition. Men by and large have been subjugated in today's society. Men are forbidden from using their strength to overpower women (it's called rape), told their strength doesn't mean anything anymore (it's called women's lib), and forbidden from paying for sex (it's called the world's oldest profession).
This is a completely unnatural environment for men - it's not that men are inherently weak. Hence men have to "game" women (i.e. play games - or do things that are non intuitive) - or worse, men have to marry them, committing to one woman (also unnatural for men) and becoming their financial slaves. The court system overwhelmingly favors women. Women can cheat on you and take half your stuff - 80% of divorces are the woman's idea. The system of feminism was designed to keep men from being free. It wasn't about liberating women and doing what was fair. It's about taxing those women's labor, destroying the family and enslaving men. But go ahead and say I'm just whining. I picked up 3 women in the last 3 days, but I'm not going to pretend the system is a good one.
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.
You make it sound like that's a bad thing that it's forbidden, lol.bigneil said:Men are forbidden from using their strength to overpower women (it's called rape)
