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.
Yeah they say that but people also say "its whats on the inside that counts" basically its BS. Every girl i have sex with comments on my physique and how much they love it.
Again not true. Any guy who has been average, and then asthetic will tell you different. I think its mostly perpetrated by people too lazy to work out.
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.
Listen everybody....its not true, because INFERNO said so! I stand corrected. And Trainwreck better take it back too. Gyms will now be packed with dudes trying to look like roided up meat heads.
It's not even that I'm trying to look like I'm roided up brah, you're gonna tell me that going from looking like an auschwitz survivor and toothpick thin, to more lean with some muscle isn't gonna help with girls thinking I'm hot and wanna talk more?
Did I say "lean with some muscle" isn't going to help??? Where did I say that at? My lord some of you take everything personal and are super sensitive. And your reading comprehension is horrendous as well. No wonder you can't understand women.
Inferno, how you said it makes "game" easier with them, what would you say is different or changes about it? Do they try to move things along faster with you? As I said, I've heard some aesthetic guys say that they've had girls start touching and feeling their body, they're more receptive to what you say. I know you're mostly supposed to still do the approaching. As you also said I'm trying to improve flirting and game skills along with developing an aesthetic body.
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.
I do workout and I am muscular. The only attention I get are from other dudes lol. Girls could care less about how big your muscles are because they don't give a ****.
Got damn you have some serious anger issues.
Since you answered like an adult rather than that other guy who is behaving like the monkey at the zoo throwing his jizz at everyone, i'll respond with some respect.
In my experience i get a lot more indicators of interest, girls will initiate kino a lot more, and i also get DIRECT approaches from girls (although these do tend to be freak girls more than decent ones, but still good for a lay) they will hit up my dm's or approach me in the club.
Can i also echo what this guy said.
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.
Exactly, that is what I said from the start! You are catching on! And I'm there 5days a week. No worries BROCan i also echo what this guy said.
I think there may have been some confusion here, im not saying become a 250lb meathead, i'm talking an athletic, strong and lean physique.
Think this
And not this
You don't start going to the gym and then wake up one day as a "roided up meat head." That takes years of dedication. It also takes steroids.
If you were suddenly 30 pounds underweight, I think you'd see just how little girls could care.
Yeah I'm pretty skinny and scrawny lol, do you think it would make a difference with women, I've had some people tell me if I got to around 160 lean it would look good and would have an impact with women.
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.
I was just looking at pooks post, he was saying about how he can get women and their attention from mostly his physique alone without having to try much. Some people have told me I'd have an aesthetic body at around 160lbs 10-8% bf. Do you have tips or examples of how to "game" them I'm trying to improve flirting and game but I've heard it changes when you have a desirable body.
Practice.
I gotcha on that. What do you think about what pook said? Do you believe that is true and that occurs when you have an aesthetic/desirable body. Like I said I definitely don't have an ugly face or anything like that. I've had attention from girls previously as well.
Before he started working out, Pook said he could get women without doing much because he was tall and good looking. Pook had some good ideas, but I'd take what he says with a grain of salt.
Yeah that's exactly what I'm doing with that. I'm not putting too much into what he said lol.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
