You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
That's kinda what I'm thinking ... I wondered how men were able to stand the smell before 21 century because women rarely took showers ! I'm sure the smell must have smelled worseLolJoeMarron said:A damn shame. This is the 21st century. Every woman should have that sh!t under control
That's interesting. In my experience I find that the smell goes from meh to not too bad to acceptable the longer I've been with the chick, same with taste. You could call it an acquired scent so to speak.
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'm working on a hand-held stank detector, but so far my more "fragrant" test subjects have been melting the solder joints.

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.
Good advice but it seems most men (me included) would rather run out the door fast screaming down the street while waving arms frantically before facing the uncomfortable subject of telling her to her face her cooter stinks.G_Govan said:Most women who have smelly vaginas aren't usually lacking in hygiene. They simply don't know how to properly clean down there.
The vag isn't supposed to be washed with soap or anything that screws with the ph balance. The body has its own cleaning mechanism and if left to do its thing can provide a nice, natural smell. Soaking in warm water with some very mild scrubbing is all that's required.
When it reeks to high heaven that means there's an overgrowth of bacteria that shouldn't be thriving in such a way.
If you feel like giving them a chance see if you can have a conversation about their cleaning methods. If they're open minded you may be able to reverse the condition and have a good time at a later date.
