Simple start, simple result:
You spoiled her - irreversible. Next.
You spoiled her - irreversible. Next.
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 can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
DonJuanabe said:Been dating this chick for couple months. She complains she has no money yet buys clothes for herself fairly often (at discount), is taking a trip soon that will cost some $2,000, and pays for yoga etc. I don't mind paying more than she does since I know I make more than her, but at this point she needs to start paying something. I'm giving her until the end of the year since she goes on her vacation soon after - if she doesn't fork over something for a movie, or offer to pay the tip at dinner, I'm ending it with her. If this is a you pay for me I give you sex thing I'm done with it. I think my strategy will be, when we go see a movie, to simply suggest she pay for the tix. I'll know my answer immediately.
I don't, I think he's a clown whose fear and loathing of women will cause perpetual celibacy for himself.The Gambler said:Hahahaha.... I LOVE Burroughs..... I hate to admit it. But I do.
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.
The sad part is that this is entirely and realistically possible these days. Anyway I'm over it, the guy's on my ignore list. He doesn't bother me personally, I just hope no young guy actually listens to him. THAT would bother me because it would really short-circuit a young mind.I wouldn't be surprised to see Burroughs in the news after having stormed a few Yoga classes with an AK-47.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
DonJuanabe said:She isn't high maintenance, and sure 30-40 bucks for dinner or 50 for movie tix and pizza isn't a huge amount of money, and I believe wholeheartedly that since I make more than she does I should pay more than she does, but a woman should pay every once in a while, or pay the tip, or get the tix while you get dinner, something. At the least it says I am contributing too.
I am merely acknowledging reality - it takes time to get to know someone and I've learned that she is selfish. That's not a quality I look for in a woman so unless she changes in the next 2-3 weeks I'm done.
Why are these things linked as if they come in groups where you either get all the things or none of the things?Boilermaker said:I think women are allowed to not pay 1/2 the time.
If we criticize them for defending feminist rights and we are wanting them to be feminine and submissive, and affectionate; we have to give them to right to demand to be taken care of by their men financially.
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.
I'm guessing that OP paid for everything up front in the beginning to impress the lady.Mauser96 said:Ok, this piqued my interest. Not to hijack the thread, but if this isn't much? Why doesn't she pay 1/2 of the time?
She has money for clothes, boots, vacations for herself. Why not pay her own way on dates, or at least offer to pay?
The AMOUNT being spent has nothjing to do with the fact SHE SPENDS NOTHING AND EXPECTS A FREE RIDE.
Okay, if that's how you feel then you're with an incompatible woman. What are you gonna do?DonJuanabe said:...and I believe wholeheartedly that since I make more than she does I should pay more than she does, but a woman should pay every once in a while, or pay the tip, or get the tix while you get dinner, something.

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.
