She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It also helps to serve a female's hidden agenda regarding what she gets out of this friendship. Women are not stupid they know when a certain guy wants to always hang with them as a friend that he really wants to get into their pants but they pretend otherwise.
If you are not fvcking her chances are that she is using you.
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.

I have a couple female friends I also look at like sisters. I wonder the same thing as well at times. It's quite sad that men and women can't really have a true friendship.The Bad Ass Canadian said:I wonder, on the flip side, if the woman I have who are truly my friends may secretly want to get with me? Could go that way, too, I suppose.

but then again, what exactly is a 'true' friendship? Nowhere in the definition of friendship does it say that the none of the parties involved has romantic or sexual feelings for the other. friendship is people who are down for each other.dereklovesugly said:I have a couple female friends I also look at like sisters.

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.
Yes that is a mistake but if you reverse the equation to fit that of women it would read:BlackMack177 said:I think the mistake guys make is that they try to use friendship as a portal into a relationship with the girl.
