"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.

So i made a tinder account a few days ago. I had a handsome shirt and tie pic. You can tell i'm built. But only one hit.

So a few hours ago, i changed to a pic of me drawing my sweatshirt up, exposing my abs and my pecs. I got like a dozen bites really quick....

Babes that want to chill and others that want "fun" with no pressure. I'm going to check this out for a minute.
 

"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.

Doesn't really matter, just make it look somewhat candid and you're good to go.

In regards to pictures I would go:

1st pic: Dog pic. Shows you having a good time with your dog (make sure your face is clearly visible though so they have an idea of what you look like, some chicks won't look at more than 1 pic before swiping).

2nd pic: Social value pic. Use a picture that shows you having a good time with other people out and about somewhere, helps to have hot girls in the pic.

3rd pic: Candid close-up face pic. Use the best photo you can find that you look great in and clearly shows what your face looks like. This pic will give them a good idea of what you look like and a lot of girls are turned off by bad teeth so make sure you smile with them in his pic (assuming they're not fvcked up).

4th pic: Body pic. This works great if you have a nice body. Some girls like the surprise when you take off your shirt in person but some enjoy anticipation when they already know what to expect. A lot girls will like seeing this in your first pic but a lot of them won't as you might just come off as a "fvckboy" or whatever the hell girls say nowadays. The dog pic will catch their attention and the body pic will seal the deal.

5th, 6th, 7th: Can't go wrong with some additional social value pics or pics of you on vacation doing fun things or in a beautiful scenic location. More photos of your dog can't hurt either.


At the end of the day, Tinder is a superficial app. If you're below average in the looks department and not in good shape in addition to only having boring pictures, don't expect to game chicks above your level just by compensating with charm and wit when she's got literally hundreds of more exciting, better looking guys at her finger tips. You already know this though.


EDIT: Unless you have Zac Efron-like
looks, it helps if none of your pics are selfies or mirror pics (aka taken by yourself).

@mrgoodstuff you should check out Bumble if you haven't already, it's similar to Tinder.

Yes tinder IS superficial. I look good enough and my body is tight enough for it to work out in my favour. Theres not really much to say, the females choose you for whatever they are trying to do. I still haven't scored off of it, so let me let that happen for me. But I'm getting plenty of bites on the pics alone.
 

"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.

I just realized I look BETTER than most of the females there. Guess I'm a fine hammer.

Tinder has this smart photos option. I'd guess it changes your top pic to whatever gets the most right swipes.

I used to fight with it, because I prefer my classier pic. But it keeps switching back to me working out with no shirt on. I just leave it now. *shrug*

Marketing 101: Always split test, because YOU are NOT your market. No one really knows what the "customer" is looking for, so test and experiment however you can.

You still may be comfortable for certain markets and not comfortable for others.

That may be a very valuable app to create.

A split testing algorithm that "learns" who you mutually swipe with and who you reject. And maximizes your percentage with only those you mutually swipe right on.

It would take a lot of manual operation. Change configurations of your profile every ten swipes or something.
 

"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.
