"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.

Women don't really care

I feel like they don't really care about their dudes at all, and if they do, it's this fleeting thing that is really intense for one moment and then gone by the next day.

Women have their reputations to protect whereas dudes have their emotions to protect. Maybe I'm just a *****, but I feel like men get way more attached than women.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

The reason why women like men who don't get attached, is because those men are RARE. Men fall in love VERY QUICK. They don't like that. They want to win your love, they don't give a fuvk about your feelings. It's their feelings they are worried about.



Yeah man. If you can mind fuvk them, have them fall in love with you, they will cry for years. But it takes A LOT for that. A part of that is when you don't get attached. Men see a hot girl and these feelings of love and passion and everything over comes them. Women aren't the same. They need TIME. So, don't get attached, and go slow, she will love you forever.

I also just figured out that the key to a dude's heart is physical affection, and if you've got some **** buddy arrangement, you've gotta roll out after ****ing.
 

"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.

And those feelings are gone in an instant. The last girl I dumped felt a whole lot of pain for that 5 minutes she cried for, but then boom, a few days later she's like "No regrets, you'll be alright" and was all smiley. I thought she even wanted me to kiss her for one last time, but no, not really.

LOL, seriously?

good thread. i know i get attached quicker than women that's for sure. but yeah i am working on that at the moment. i only just started seeing this great girl and fell for her fast and hard. i am backing off now in hopes she initiates contact again. i think meeting other girls helps a hell of a lot.

sounds so true man. i noticed many times girls don't fall in love quick, they take it slow. but when they do they come down hard with the love! that is definitely worth playing it cool at the beginning :)

So true.

This last Friday at work this bosses wife was going on about how a guy should pay on date. I just dropped one line, if a girl came over to eat then why do I need her? The wife almost swallowed her tongue and spend 20 minutes talking about how relationship between her and her hubby (my boss) is purely out of love. When I left I said bye and she said nothing. I hit the spot there.

Women have their reputations to protect. If you're aware, it easy to tell if their reputation is for real or absolute bull.

Men have their egos and feelings that ego invokes to protect.

It's because women have so many more options than men in the same league. It's easy to get over someone if you'll have a new one in a few days.
In a few days? Women now a days can pick and chose from their real life orbiters, guys on facebook, guys on dating sites etc and have this done THE SAME DAY, IN AN HOUR IF THEY WANT!

What do you mean by in a few days? She can just send a msg to any random guy on her facebook list to go to her place and boom she's not lonely anymore. That's how easy it is for women now a days.

The only examples of where this is true for guys is with celebrities. Celebrities are the "women" of men due to the fact that if they feel lonely they got a whole batch of orbiters to pick from.

yeah i have always wondered how girls care so little if they miss out on you and just dump ur ass without thinking twice. it's cause they got so many other guys on backup they will never feel lonely. we don't get that. im sure if i had like unlimited girls waiting in line for me to message/call them for a hook up i wouldn't really care if i dropped one. girls are lucky like that :/
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Looking back, all the girls that I always kept at arms length were WAY more into me than the ones I got all head over heels for.

It must be some sort of natural law coded in girls DNA.

The Cardinal Rule of Relationships


Are you in control? Or is she?
I think Facebook slants it in favor of the women. They have every guy who ever liked them in their entire life at their disposal.

Indeed, it is--because by keeping her at arm's length you are communicating that you have a lot of options, and therefore very desirable. Pretty basic stuff.


Those of you that are having problems getting attached too soon, remember this: The LESS effort you put into her, the more she'll want you.

If you like a girl and you're not sure if she's all that into you, DON'T text her after a date; DON'T reach for rapport with things like, "we have so much in common!"; DON'T clear your schedule in case she wants to hang out with you. These things can only hurt you--don't worry, if she likes you, she won't forget who you are.

Now, when you DO see her, it's GREAT to make her feel special and take an interest in her. But, between dates, you should be too busy with other things to really talk with her--at least at first. Early on, women are scanning for signs of clingy-ness, and the most reliable indicator of this is how much a guy contacts them...even if you're not calling to ask her out. Be patient and make her wonder a bit...silence is often the seducer's best weapon.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yes but if they value their "reputation" (code for vagina I guess), then do they really have so many men at their disposal?

Well you're right and why should they? We know most guys fall under the same umbrella- it's your job to make her care and for starters you'll want to do things the majority of other guys don't necessarily do bu would like to do.
