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 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.

that's dumb when most girls are shorter. at my school that girls is 6-1 or might even be 6-2, her geek boyfriend is no more than 5-8 or 5-9. wtf does she need to be wearing heels for? he's so dumb for being a geek and dateing a freakMOTU said:

she's the insecure girl for wearing heels, a girl wearing heels who's over 6 feet screams insecure. her geek boyfriend hasn't ever had a girlfriend and would never have except that she incessantly flirted with him. he isn't cool and studys too much. what girl except for dumb and stupid wants that?sylvester the cat said:

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.
