"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.

I came across this discussion thread and found it to be very interesting and decided to share it.

Basically, a woman is in a relationship with this awesome boyfriend (she admits she has amazing experiences with him) but is so bothered by the fact that he is only 4 inches shorter than her that she feels the need to seek advice on an internet forum. Keep in mind, she admited that the relationship is awesome and that she has great experiences with him, but despite all this, him being short just bothers her so much.

one responding female to the thread even mentioned that her boyfriend actually was actually an inch taller than her, yet it still bothered her even though he was still ::taller:: than her. she admited great personality traits about her boyfriend such as him being romantic, but of course his height was such an issue, she actually broke up with him jus becuase of his height (she admited this).

So, what are your opinions on this?

take a look for yourself:

"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.

Anyone think it's kind of weird for a girl to dump a guy 4 years AFTER they date? I can understand if he gained weight or started being an ass, but his height has been the same from day one. Lot of factors could go into this. I think it's because she's starting tot think about marriage and having kids. While she's fine dating a girl shorter then her, I don't think that she wants her kids to be short. It's that whole survival and replication thing, you can't fight our biological urges!

  1. She's 22
  2. She started dating him even though he was 4 inches shorter than her (as if he was going to grow during the year)
What does this mean?
  1. She's not mature enough to choose guys who she is really attracted to
  2. He thinks that dating someone who was 21 at the time would make sense when he was close to 30. Yeah, not all 21 year old women are alike but most of them seem to be.

Difference in height is only as big of an issue as you make it.

My bf is 5'4 and I am 5'8. Quite frankly, we don't care, and the height doesn't bother us.

There are women who don't care if their man is shorter, and women who refuse to date a shorter guy. Just like there are men that don't care if their woman is taller, and men who refuse to date a taller woman. It depends on the person/couple.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

it means looks matter
Then if his shortness is not what she's looking-for
in the looks dept. she shouldn't have been dating him
in the first place.

The branch sort of melded with his head in this picture, though, so he looks taller here than he really is...
You have a nice azz.

:yes: Simple as that. But how many people truly know what they want (which is realistic) and are willing not to compromise?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
