"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

It's obvious as to why I posted this on this forum.

I don't mean in regards to a career, money, or any of that; in fact, I don't even mean anything in regards to women because I do believe that a lot of men do become more attractive to women as they get older.

It is something I can't pinpoint exactly but it keeps me depressed sometimes when I think of it.

It's like I see some young guys who are actually in their prime: handsome, charismatic, in great shape, socially well connected, and from a wealthy upbringing. I see these guys go out to bars with their crowd of friends which include a mix of their bros as well as some hot girls.

Even back in my school days I saw it with house parties of hot girls and stuff that got posted on social media.

My problem is, I feel like even if I hit my stride in my 30s, I won't get to experience THAT.

Like I don't want to be "mature" when I never had a chance to be immature and have fun in the first place.

I see older guys and the vast majority of them I want to be nothing like.

It is as if once you are over 30, you have to be "formal" and kind of boring.

Like a 30 year old guy in his peak in life cannot experience the game the same way as a 20 year old guy at his peak can.

It isn't even exclusively about girls.

I just can't help but think that what I am missing with social life I won't be able to get as I get older.

The hot girls would have moved on from that, younger guys would have matured from that, and the people leftover would hardly be the ones anyone wants to have that sort of fun with.

Like, there is no 30-something version of that sort of life.

Women are past their prime and have put their fun days behind them.

Cool guy friends are hard to come across if not just barely existent.

Everyone has "moved on" to family, kids, and that sort of a life and you're the odd one all on your own.

Like even if you get laid and get a hot girl, it won't feel the same as belonging to that sort of a crowd because it seems like that sort of a crowd doesn't even exist as you get older.

Even if you get rich but are in your 30s, you can't just go out sleeping with random women, partying with them, and living that sort of a life because you have a livelihood to protect.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

So you noticed that nothing in life lasts forever? Is that what you're saying?

You look at guys in their 30's and say to yourself you would never want to be like them. I did that too in my 20's and teens. Found older people lame, boring, not hip, etc. But now that I'm in my 30's I look at younger guys and don't want to be anything like 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.

im 22 and i never experienced that. most my friends (iff had any) were too shady to go for social media photos posting (or too ugly/negative/retarded/unliked). i was maybe handsome and tall but bullied in one school and therefore chicks never really wanted to have anything in common with me (well they wanted until they heard that) gossip often spreaded by facebook so i dont really like that.


now im 22 i dont really care about what happened. I just focus on myself. dont know how old are you but people party their entire life (just find cool people)


ohh pss. i was loved in most places that people didnt know about me being bullied (assuming these places werent patologic) so all I needed to do was to change environment (city/country)

Nowdays not even trolls put some work in it...back then in early 00s at least trolls invested enough time and energy to build a believable reputation as users before trolling

"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.

I would think you're coping.

I think most guys on this thread know I am genuinely not trolling but rather trying to find an answer or fix to this.

Yes, as you join under your 10th account and try pushing the same drivel over and over.

You either have multiple accounts, or are an ignoramus and didn't read the posts from the other jackas-s who pushed this "there is no life for men after college" crap.

Funny how no one has objectively attacked my point but has only attacked me, kinda proves a point doesn't it?
 

"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.
