"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When it comes to landing attractive women, this is all it boils down to; PLAIN AND SIMPLE. While in the past I have advocated looks and saying these are the most important...I realized I was mostly wrong. I guess I have seen too many mediocre looking guys with attractive women.

You will STILL ULTIMATELY FAIL with women even if you are the ideal 6'2", ripped and look like Matthew McCounaghey if you DON'T THINK you deserve an attractive woman. YOUR SELF-ESTEEM and SELF-WORTH are your most important weapons.

Girls do not think the same way as guys do. YOU HAVE TO DRILL THIS INTO YOUR HEAD!! A good looking girl with low self-worth and little confidence will still be attractive to men because she is STILL VISUALLY PRETTY. A good-looking man with low self esteem mind as well be short, fat and bald, because your low self-esteem will put you in the same unattractive category.

I know this has been emphasized here before time and time again, but take it from someone who has been there first hand.

As someone who is 6'0, has a pretty good body and decent face I have not done as well with women as I should. WHY? Low self-worth and low-self esteem and not thinking I deserved such a hottie.

POOK IS 100% RIGHT. Thinking you are the prize and not her, does wonders for your confidence. Think about it, although women maybe better looking. WE MEN are CLEARLY the SUPERIOR SEX. We are physically stronger, better at math and science and hold the power in this world, NOT WOMEN!! SO WHY DO WE PUT ATTRACTIVE WOMEN ON PEDESTALS?
 

"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.

I feel you man. I'm in exactly the same situation now. I mess it up because of low self esteem. I feel I don't deserve her and that she's about to leave me any day.

And Pook is always right. :yes:

F**king solid. We've all read this before but it seriously needs to be drilled into our heads until we eat, sleep, and sh*t it.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Truth.

Women can SMELL that sh!t, somehow. I've been out with girls where one minute I was thinking, "This girl is with me because I'm so awesome" and the next minute I was thinking, "Damn, how did a loser like me end up with an angel like this??"

And I'll tell you, the SECOND the latter thought entered my head, the girl went from hot to cold. You could just SENSE the change in demeanor and control.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Yes, I just had a similar experience with a store employee. When I started my interaction I was projecting a strong frame, but I lost interest in her and the second I shifted into neutral she turned off like a light switch. You can literally see it happen in the wink of an eye.

You guys ever think that's just your own perception, and that they don't actually have super powers.

How long have you been gamin', Son?

You need to sharpen your perception because we're not talking about "super powers" here. Rather, we're remarking on women's innate, highly refined ability to read verbal & non-verbal ques.

You should feel like you are good enough. I don't know if that's what you meant. I feel they are two seperate things.
 

"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.

The problem is, some of us may have difficulty convincing ourselves of to feel this way. I know that it works, and I can even achieve it sometimes, but most of the time I still know in the back of my head that I wanna get with this chick and I'd consider me to be the lucky one if that happened. I'm not sure how to just erase the thought from my head.

I can understand that, i've felt that way too. My advice to that would be to make friends that are girls. I think there is a lot to gain from this.

Yes, it is hard..especially since women are so damn good looking and the better looking sex. It is also difficult when you see good looking men or men better looking than yourself with rather "average looking" women. Sometimes if makes you think, gee, good looking women are unattainable and you better have ALOT going for you if you want one.
