lmaoYes we are...
Those are precisely the ones who are a lot more fun to rent than own.
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.

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’m interested in this one...BONUS: She went to Texas A&M
It seems rather odd if you are not from Texas, but once you move here they become easy to spot out. It's like they suffer from brain rot and have lost all senses if that makes sense.I’m interested in this one...
I can't believe how stupid people are with that astrology nonsense. Might as well worship the Sun.1. Excessive Tattoos
2. Bright colour hair dye
3. Announces traumatic event within first few dates.
4. Spend-thrift
5. talks about how friends boyfriends 'spoil' them, spend excessive amounts of money on them - hint that they expect the same treatment.
Star signs stuff is 'interesting'. Always considered it a load of nonsense that can't be taken remotely seriously. Wouldn't take it as a red flag, but don't read into it at all. Don't judge people at all by their star signs, treat it with same level of seriousness as I would if they told me what their favourite colour is.
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.
No, I just find people like that insecure and unwilling to own the fact they don't want to or can't reply straight away/at all. Very weak mindset, a hiding mentality.Y'all put wayyyy too much thought into all this.
"I'm sorry HB8, I can't date you because you have Read receipts turned off."
Absolutely.LMAO on the Zodiac stuff. Really guys?
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Assuming you're in the northern hemisphere, what are some of the best and worst signs?Logic would dictate your reasoning. I can’t dispute that. However, I also can’t deny that the descriptives per sign are more spot on than not.
if these were simply ambiguities that weren’t so specific, I’d roll my eyes at astrology.
Personally, I don’t keep up with daily horoscopes etc... but I do use the signs to scrutinize potential future women (and it’s helped).
now it makes senseThis is hilarious. I'm a Cancer. I take issue with this...
I'm not on welfare.

As with anything, there will always be exceptions to the rule. For instance; while I do see validity and a correlation within in signs, I also recognize that there can be influential outside variables (hereditary traits, environmental traits etc... ) .Assuming you're in the northern hemisphere, what are some of the best and worst signs?
That love bombing is real man. Holy **** my head and heart and guts has been through the washing machine the past qeeek- Parents are separated or divorced. She will always have this fear of being abandoned again or not being worthy enough and will sabotage relationships because of it.
- She travels a lot. Permission to be slutty without her family and friends knowing it.
- She has a cat. A substitute for the children that she may never have.
- She moved from a small town to a big city to study or work. Sex and the City lifestyle here I am.
- She tells you she's a feminist. In my mind I hear "I have a free pass to be a **** whenever it pleases me".
- She is super into you very early on, without you doing anything (love bombing)
- She is an only child. A big chance that she's entitled.
- She just broke up with her longtime boyfriend. If you hear her talk bad about him like he was "too controlling" you can be sure she's in her "just having fun and enjoying" phase and you're not going to be the only guy she's going to see.
There are plenty more but can't really think of others right now.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Every single woman I know who claims any kind of assault/D.V has been the most horrible self absorbed trash, Ive got to know. even if Hot.02. Mentions a past trauma early on, rape or sexual abused.. Damaged beyond repair.. NEXT
LMAO on the Zodiac stuff. Really guys?
I've definitely found that there's something to general character traits represented by the different signs - though I'm certain that it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the relative positions of stars and planets.Absolutely.
There are twelve signs in the Zodiac. If I'm around a female for a few hours (conversing) I can guess their sign 50% of the time. Seeing as though I have a 1 in 12 odds, it's safe to say that my ratio exceeds that of coincidence.
I do agree with this, I had one chic tell me out the blue her kid had "sh*t in the bath" this was totally against the quality behaviour she had shown, I let it slide. I did one thing slightly wrong a few days later and she totally ghosted mehave you seen a girl’s red flags? She could next you based on the color of your belt
Don't call yourself a scientist ever again.I've definitely found that there's something to general character traits represented by the different signs - though I'm certain that it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the relative positions of stars and planets.
First of all - let me clarify:-
I have a technical/scientific background - MPhys-hons (Masters) - "Physics with Optical sciences"
And a lifelong interest in astronomy (NOT 'ology') - I give presentations on the subject.
All this "You will meet a tall dark stranger" stuff is a steaming pile of horsesh!t
However.... and bear with me a littlle....
It's possible that the time of year you are born could be the reason - As a babe-in-arms you're nothing but a sponge, soaking up everything around you - and people do act differently at different times of the year...
More optimistic as Christmas approaches - Pessimistic soon after - Happier in general during the summer.. etc...
Then there's the weather - generally colder/hotter/wetter at different periods...
More indoor social gatherings during fall/winter, longer nights - More time outdoors in summer, lighter nights....
And it will all add up...
For example, a Sagittarius, your first few months will include Christmas and the early spring, and all the things that go with it.
A Leo, your first few months will be summer, leading into the colder wetter times of the fall....
A LOT more to it than ^^^ That ^^^ but you get the idea.
I could believe that some general personality traits will be formed accordingly....
I'm a Scorpio for the record.
In practice - I really don't get along with Sagittarius or Gemini at all. (I will almost always left-swipe if this info is available)
I do really well socially with Cancer, Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo.
In the bedroom - Scorpios have a bit of a reputation, and I've found that to be generally true when I've been with a Scorp woman (Two Scorps together....)
I married a Leo - and like most Leos I've known... went great at first, then went to sh!t later. (I won't expand on why... don't want to upset any Leos reading this - but for me, things tend to start well with a Leo, but sooner or later will go South)
I agree, Girls travel to take double penetration, so its not frowned upon. I know many girls who travelled and its because women have a fantasy of being taken by two or three men. It gives them a dopamine hit like no other. Ultimate Power,......- She travels a lot. Permission to be slutty without her family and friends knowing it.
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.
