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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Thanks brother!When either
A) you've lost your frame
Or
B) you figure out the girl is low class and not worth your time
Most commonly its A
And success is variable, depends what you are wanting to acheive
If you feel she's just using you for her ego/ to give her attention/ anything else in beta bucks/ or you just f**ked up somewhere along the way. It's better to just move on instead of hanging around her, unless you just want to be her friend.Thanks brother!
Again I plead newbieness - but what does it mean to lose one frame?
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.
I don't call it ghosting or no contact.... I just walk away. When do I walk away? When a woman is giving me signs of dis-interest or if she is no longer any fun.When does one Ghost or go No Contact?
No... I don't use it as a 'power' play, it's just what I do so that I'm not wasting time with women that are not interested or adding stress and drama to my life. You walk away, put her out of your mind and go find women who like me to spend time with.Is it used to gain power back? If so how often does it work?
Good stuff. Break ups are tough, its tough to smile and walk away and literally disappear. Everyone thinks "She will be back" during no contact. We secretly hope for it. But every time, I get to the point of "I honestly hope she never reaches out because I am enjoying this single life/other chicks way too much to ever go back to that hot mess!". After a while, I dont even think about them. I'm talking LTR's here not some chick I hung out with a couple months.It's important, vital, to focus on other women whilst you go no-contact on any particular woman. Don't hang around waiting to contact her; forget about her in the most literal sense, driving her out with others.
You may never feel the need to contact her again after a while.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
In this case my question is more along the grounds of a power play - meet a real hottie and have been able to maintain good command and control but recently messed up by coming across as needy - I texted her once and didn't get a response - so my plan is to go scarce for a week or so - then come back with stronger, seductive response.I don't call it ghosting or no contact.... I just walk away. When do I walk away? When a woman is giving me signs of dis-interest or if she is no longer any fun.
No... I don't use it as a 'power' play, it's just what I do so that I'm not wasting time with women that are not interested or adding stress and drama to my life. You walk away, put her out of your mind and go find women who like me to spend time with.
Sometimes if a woman is showing disinterest, and you walk away from her, she will come back and start contacting you and putting effort into you. When this happens either one of two things have happened.
(1) She was always interested in you, but was playing games hoping to get you to come un-glued.
(2) She didn't realize she liked you until she thought that she might lose you.
But if a women is REALLY dis-interested walking away from her is not going to get her to come to you. She might not like you as a potential mate, but if you walk away from her, at least she will respect you. This MIGHT get her to think about you more, but I would not count on it.
No contact is used to exert
As I've said many times before as has @TheMonkeyKing . Attention is what women want (hence orbiters), so this is your currency. They craze attention, so you only dish it out to those who are deserving of it. Never give attention for nothing in return- it devalues your attention as a product.
Free products or offerings are worth nothing.
Well. I wouldn't call that going no contact as much as I would call it good communication protocol.In this case my question is more along the grounds of a power play - meet a real hottie and have been able to maintain good command and control but recently messed up by coming across as needy - I texted her once and didn't get a response - so my plan is to go scarce for a week or so - then come back with stronger, seductive response.
Thoughts? Any other ideas on the above would be appreciated too - I'm happy to learn
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.
