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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
The last single mother I was with, had 3 kids and 2 abortions.Rollo Tomassi said:Put this in your notebook:
Any time you're dating / banging a single mother, you're sleeping with a woman who's against abortion.
Science is clear as mud. I say its not a human being until it can provide for its basic life support (breathing, injestion, etc). Until that its just a parasite sucking on its mother. Its not a baby till (or if) its born. Its a fetus before that. Nature has a way of killing them off itself before the fetus is born anyways.prairiedog24 said:...Science is clear what human life is, I don't think we should be questioning what a moral "person" is...
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Yes, science is. And the neural development doesn't happen until well into the pregnancy. Until then the embryo is a gooey mass of human tissue.prairiedog24 said:Science is clear what human life is, I don't think we should be questioning what a moral "person" is.
I'd just like to point out that you completely missed the argument, so perhaps you shouldn't insult people's intelligence at the moment.Alle_Gory said:Yes, science is. And the neural development doesn't happen until well into the pregnancy. Until then the embryo is a gooey mass of human tissue.

Its funny how the people who are so "pro-life" understand nothing about it.
The concept of "human being" is a concept of moral philosophy, not science. So what's as "clear as mud" is your understanding of what science is and what it isn't.scrouds said:Science is clear as mud.

Fair enough. I don't care if people disagree with my position on the moral issue. I just can't stand it that science education is so degraded in the US that the average person has little understanding of what it even is. Pet peeve.Please don't turn this into a moral discussion about if you are for or against abortion.

Actually its not. Polls show most people are against abortion. Some go as far as murdering doctors (one who mostly aborted dead babies), and the rest want to make it illegal and want the woman punished in some form.The Inside Man said:I hope to God that this forum is not an accurate representation of the current state of American society.

Your statement is akin to saying "Football is clear as mud, iceskates may not exceed 15 inches in regulation play..."
Durrrrr.....
Did you think I was complimenting you?So what's as "clear as mud" is your understanding of what science is and what it isn't.
Completely agree with you here. To say otherwise is like suggesting that that lady that started a thread about her husband ignoring her and using porno instead is "a mans issue, and she shouldn't be a part of the discussion." Pretty asinine regardless of which side of the debate you're on. It's an intellectual cop-out.@alle_gory - It takes 2 to make a baby. While we don't have direct control, I'll be damned if it isn't an issue men should be interested in. Also, one of the things a man's job is is to provide guidance. Doesn't mean she has to listen, but its out there. You have power, you can try to use that to exert influence in either direction.
Oh no. You shut me up with these big vague phrases.prairiedog24 said:It's an intellectual cop-out.
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.
