And it is weird cause even some of the most ****able ones say "nah, common, not so much" LOL
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.
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.
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.
This is why the best thing I ever did was become a photographer. Planning photo shoots (some take months of planning to get the outfits, etc) not only allows you to notice her dress, makeup and accessories - but to direct them. To control every variable. It's extremely erotic and they live out fantasies in the process.After learning to read female body language, the next best skill a man can have is PAYING ATTENTION and noticing the little things about the appearance of women... if you are in an exclusive relationship with a chick (God only knows why one might do this.. but to each his own) the best long term investment you can make is to BURN INTO YOUR MEMORY how a chicks hair looks.... I know, it's stupid... but chicks spend a freaking sh!t load of time on their hair. Not only do they spend a lot of money on coloring, styling, and general care, but they also do weekly 'blow-outs', they are always making little changes.... NOTICE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. Trust me on this, you can not lose. just look at her hair just before you leave her, and the next time notice ANY change... if you like the change compliment her on it. Don't freaking lie to her... because thrust me she will know... but if you like the change... tell her, if you don;t then just notice there was a change, and say "it looks okay, but I really liked when you had your hair like ______". Best investment for long term success.
Notice when her shoes match her bag.... notice when her nails match her dress. Notice her earrings complement the rest of the stuff she is wearing. Trust me... PAY ATTENTION and notice things and you will always make a VERY good impression.
We should indeed wait until the moment they are attracted to us before we tell them they are beautiful.This is a bit off topic, but I was thinking about it so I'll put it here.
You know how some advise not to give girls compliments, especially if they are unearned, or especially if they are generic compiments like "You're pretty" or "You're beautiful"? The argument goes that this is unimaginative, she hears it all time, and isn't specific to her.
I was thinking most men would never think it was lame for a girl to say "You're handsome", they would like to hear it. But girls I think, they take beauty for granted up to a point. Kind of like "Of course I'm pretty, I'm a girl. What other kind of line have you got?". So I'm not sure girls value beauty like men do, since it tends to come easily to them (even though it's fleeting).
"Wow that water....it's sooo wet!!!"This is a bit off topic, but I was thinking about it so I'll put it here.

On the other hand, you see a lot of these infield cold approach videos on the street. And they often start out with something like "Wow, you're beautiful, so I had to come meet you". I think a lot of those guys come off like creepers though.We should indeed wait until the moment they are attracted to us before we tell them they are beautiful.
As a general rule, never open with a compliment. However, I can't resist "I love your braids". This subliminally says "I love you".On the other hand, you see a lot of these infield cold approach videos on the street.

HAHAHA now he's a hypnotist.As a general rule, never open with a compliment. However, I can't resist "I love your braids". This subliminally says "I love you".
Perhaps not coincidentally, the first conversation with the love of my life: "When was your birthday? You were born on a Thursday. I know this sounds like a line, but I was conceived the day you were born. Your birthday is my parent's wedding anniversary. My mom married as a virgin and became pregnant with me during their honeymoon. I never challenged her on that, though I did wonder what time she got home the night before the wedding..."
I then walked out of the club and she went looking for me for 3 weeks. The moment she found me, we were in love. Then I realized we had met 9 months earlier when she was a waitress, and when we shook hands that day we held hands for the longest time. Could all those keywords (and the long handshake) I used have subliminally programmed her? Birthday, wedding, virgin, pregnant, born, parents, honeymoon... it all happened without my realizing it.

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.
We can at least take a compliment. Men don't usually think "Wow, how lame is this chick for saying I'm handsome?".Men get complimemted, it's useless unless we're dating or more.
I think the big picture idea is good. I would disguise the questionnaire as a project on human perception and modify the original question to "do you think you're attractive? What are some things you like about yourself and some things you don't? What would you rate yourself on a scale from 1-10? What do you have going for yourself that is not physically related or something you do? "And it is weird cause even some of the most ****able ones say "nah, common, not so much" LOL
I agree... I wouldn't go around handing out compiments at clubs. The grocery store, has its own flow. I can get away with compliment openers, because I'm not trying to get laid. The 'I'm not trying to get laid' frame, is a lot more laid back. If you are truly leaving sex as a low priority, your frame will reflect that. But, it's a delicate and subtle balance, to not end up in the FZ.On the other hand, you see a lot of these infield cold approach videos on the street.
