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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
That seems like how it's working for me. When I was 21 the girls were as old as 35, and now that I'm 27 the girls are as young as 17...Originally posted by crazykid
Oh come on guys, if you are all banging 18 year olds, what are we 19 year olds supposed to go after?Guess we'll just have to take the older women then, since we DO have more stamina and are better.

But i hear you. I'd rather have a mature woman over a young chicky any day.
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.

I can't begin to tell you how fvcked up this way of thinking is. I'm 30 and am banging an 18yo now. She's in love with me as far as I can tell.
All girls are different. There are plenty of hot, young, 18yo girls who LOVE older men and even want to marry them.
Why are you telling me and every other person and NEWBIE in here they can't get or marry younger women if you're over a certain age?
Man, you are poisoning people's minds!
You get alot of respect on this board because you have excellect communication skills.
However, for the love of God, please stop expressing your negative opinions of older men dating younger women.
You have the ability to influence people, and I'd hate to see guys give up getting younger women because of your opinion.
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.
Your suppose to wait ya turn. When us older and more experienced fellas get threw with em...we will give you lesser males a taste fella!Originally posted by crazykid

OK Westcoaster,sorry it's been a while since I replied to this, my internet access is sketchy at best right now.Originally posted by WestCoaster
Do this, don't do that! Your attitude is negative, blah, blah, blah. It's not negative, I'm just posting opinions. Lighten the f' up!
Look, I'm commenting on the women here on this site, nowhere else and I certainly don't hit on my students or make comments to anyone else. This is a good place to vent ... well it used to be until everyone got so uptight here, including you comote.
Look, you notice the women, too, you're just classier than I am and am not commenting on their bodies. I've been called a few things in life ... blind ain't one of them.
