"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.

Let's see...

Baseball, not just watching but I still play in a recreational fast pitch league.
Classic cars...currently helping a family friend do a resto-mod of a 1957 Corvette.
Brewpubs/microbreweries and vintage scotch
Mountain biking
Sometimes I'll go to a pistol/rifle range
 

"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.

Women have always loved my motorcycle. Everyone wants to be friends with "motorcycle guy." The fact that I can get pvssy with a $600 motorcycle is a bit of an insight into the rationale women employ in making such decisions.

true, i had some social advantage when I rode motorcycle. there's something that women LOVE about bikers... maybe the danger, risky, speed of it..
 

"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.

Thanks for many kind advices. I swear to God almighty I live in apartment right now but when I get me a house with garage, I will start me some manly habits of wood working. I love wood work but not really much space to work on in a crammy apartment. Also will get me a dog; best furry companion for men.
You'd be surprised what you can fit into a small apartment.
They make compact versions of most tools these days. In my 1 bedroom apartment years ago I had a compact table saw, drill press, workbench, oscillating sander, and a full compliment of hand tools.

I've been watching a Siberian Huskie for a friend. This dog is a chick magnet. I don't even have to try when I have that dog with me; every woman I see wants to talk to me. I get ambushed from all directions. This must be what it's like to be an attractive woman.

I've often wondered about the dog thing. Do guys actually seal the deal with these women, or are they only interested in the dog?

LOL, I originally misspelled "dog" and had "dong" in there.

I draw. But I guess that isn't very MANLY now is it?

/Sarcasm

No such thing as a manly hobby, do what you're interested in & love.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Dogs will attract serious attention to you, but ultimately it's up to YOU to seal the deal.

Most women are irresistibly drawn to dogs/puppies, I really don't think any article of clothing you can wear, vehicle you drive, or huge pecs can attract more attention than most dogs can.

Yeah, the bike and the dog attract the same thing - initial interest. You can destroy it as soon as you open your mouth.

To use a baseball analogy, a woman who approaches you first or at least is the first to communicate interest is like a fat pitch - a hanging curve ball floating over the middle of the plate. If you can hit, that's the one you knock out of the park. But if you can't hit, it's not going to matter.

BigDawsTV is one of my favorite pranksters on YouTube and he's gotten some numbers with just a puppy!

Oh and the manly things I do besides taking care of my self, would have to be cars. The science and everything behind them just fascinates me. I research and learn about them for fun. Also putting stuff together would be another. That's all I have so far that's "manly" at the moment.
