"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.

"You are attractive but not my type"

"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.

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

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

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
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

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
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

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?
