"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.

"You are attractive but not my type"

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

An easy letdown rejection. She complimented your looks at the same time she's saying she doesnt want you.

can you translate this from ******** to normal language please
There is something about you that she didn't find compatible but she does agree that you are attractive.

I went on a date yesterday and he was a very nice guy and attractive enough but his philosophy on custody with his children and mine differed to the point of where I knew we would have some fundamental mismatches in terms of values.

That's really what it means

"Not my type" Is usually the response I give to interested girls who have different values, tats, too many piercings etc. They could be the hottest girl I've seen, but still, not my type.

You can find someone attractive, but not be attracted TO them
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Your princess is in another castle. Her pu$$y dried up. Sorry.

Anything other than a yes complete with the proper actions to back it up is a no.

Case closed. On to the next.

no you can't, that's just woman nonsense.

if you're not attracted to someone you can only assume they are attractive
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You are not hideous to her. Theoretically she could smash you. It means that once her options dry up you MIGHT get a shot. But she has to be seriously out of options. This level of pickiness is only rampant in the West. Women have so many options these days that they can pass up attractive guys that are not their exact type. They have the sexual market value to be able to get ( at least for sex) their exact type. Why would they bother with anything less? In rare occassions i have seen women go back to guys they have said this too. But this is extremely rare occassions when their options dried up because they lived in a foreign country or they got old.

This is similar to the guy that gets soo much hot tail that he can turn down a average girl because her toes didnt look right or something. Dont take it too personally. This is simply a matter of sexual economics. I am sure she does find you attractive but not attractive enough to beat out the guys who are EXACTLY her type.

A women has said this to me before. But then she proceeded to parade me around her friends as some sort of prize. I was her date to some dance. But i still didnt get the pu**y. So yeh basically just move on. You will hear from her in about 2 years when she is out of options. Ignore the call.

When I am not interested in a woman, but I believe that many other folks would find her at least as attractive, then this would apply. For example, a lot of men like skinny women that have skinny hips; I don't care for this type of woman as I like a woman with a good baby-making pelvis. I must admit that outside that, pretty much every thing I like in a gal is what every other man likes in a gal. And of course, I haven't discussed race, so that;s as easy one when someone could fine someone not interesting but a lot of others would.

All that said, it is more or less a putdown, but a woman might like slender wiry men more attractive than muscular he-men, so they could be some anecdotes where this is accurate.

It's how a woman with manners rejects you. Politely.

"How has that worked out for you?". If her type works out so well wouldn't she be with them?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

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.
