"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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'm not approaching girls anymore..

- I work out, most girls don't.

- No I don't have a high status job but I have 3 jobs and I work about 75 hrs a week. I'm ok financially ..

-I keep myself extremely well groomed

- I buy top shelf cologne and apply 2x a day for the smelling pleasure of others.

-I dress well, and make sure to coordinate.

-I'm well read and well spoken.

-Ill never be a male model or have 6 pack abs because I like buffalo wings too much but you can definitely tell I work out and I know I'm stronger than 97% of men walking around..

-I'm book and street smart. We can discus Hellenistic philosophy, or I can tell you what neighborhood to get Percocet in..

-I have no kids

-Never wed.

-Me and my room mate have a sweet ass bachelor pad..

-I know I'm amazing at sex.. Its mind blowingly good



I'm not bragging.. I'm stating facts.
Why the f*ck am I approaching females?

Shouldn't they be approaching me?
I mean you date me I generally gain nothing.. Sex.

But I could pay for high priced escorts that's a 9 in my eyes that would be cheaper than 2 dates with an average looking girl..

You gain at the very least a decent free meal and drinks and so much more if I like you..

So ... Why should I approach girls again?
Unless the IOIs are blatant I'm just not doing it anymore..
I feel like 9/10 girls I'm really the prize and the prize shouldnt have to do the work.

And I know this post sounds very narcissistic
but its truly how I feel lately.
Because the way the market works, men have to approach women. Therein lies the fact of the market and that won't change unless you're a rockstar
 

"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.

I find I most appreciate men who are utterly direct (in a classy way) about what they want. Boldness & directness is sexy.
I fixed that for you. Let's not gloss over the importance of those few words. The exact definition is going to depend on the people involved, the location and other circumstances, so "classy" can be hard to precisely define, but it's an understatement to say that most guys don't get it. In fact, simply understanding that one little thing can go a very long way.

Take on-line dating as one example, look inside any attractive woman's inbox and she will get dozens of messages every day, but 90+% of those messages will be:

yo wudup u dtf

Men would be jealous of that result from OLD, I'm sure, but it is not what women want. All it takes is a little bit of class and tact about being sexual, and you immediately separate yourself from other guys. Taking that one step further, making fun of the way most men act is the easiest conversation to make on a date. It's DHV, AMOG and I'm sure a lot more PUA acronyms I don't know.

Inside her mind
What's Good Cola, great to see your progression throughout the years

But I think you getting high value mixed up with highly attractive

Can you be both? of course but women will seldom approach unless you're truly attractive and her type. I had a buddy like this where women would approach him all the time offering to buy him free drinks, grabbing him out of the blue etc

When you get to the point where you are super attractive or famous than women will approach you consistently that's just the way the wind blows

This may help:

The girls I don't want approach me.
The girls I want don't approach me.

The only exceptions to this rule are on OLD.

I'm so high value that I don't even need to hustle. Money just falls on my lap ;)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I am totally with you on this.

Approach girls because it is fun, nothing more nothing less. If it ain't fun, then don't do it.

No hate bro but dudes that look like you can just stand at a wall at my bar and girls will approach. Ok I'll admit I'm slightly jellous I rarely get cold approached. The dudes that I'm talking about have no conversation skills and have no car, you are light years above them fools who already don't approach.

It baffels me what a slightly muscular black man can get away with

Approaching should be a spontaneous action.... when you feel the attraction like a gravitational pull. It's like one is at one with the cosmos.:rolleyes:

It is not a question of whether one should 'approach' or not. This reflects a degenerate mind/ body dualism.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Because doing challenging things successful is rewarding. Like seeing how quickly you can solve a Rubics cube.

Successfully approaching and seducing a wider variety of girls will enhance your social skills, which will also come in handy.

Think of it like working out for your interpersonal skills.

The biggest issue with this is that no matter how much I do get hit on by girls, it's never the one I want. I've had girls come up to me and do outrageous things but in my mind its nothing because I'm not too bothered. This weekend I got hit on by two girls near the age of 30 but I wanted the 21 yo brunette with big boobs at the other side of the bar, she's a pretty shy girl and never would have done what the other two girls did. I had to make my move, it was easy once I did it, no resistance at all but I still had to make the move. If you're a good looking, socalised person, girl's have very good reactions to you even if you're not their type. I think by not approaching any girls for the average guy who isn't a bouncer isn't going to get enough foot traffic coming their way to make this viable. Out of the 70-80 girls I've slept with, I reckon only a handful made any sort of move on me at the beginning. Girls can be aware of you but they are passive creatures.

for someone with an average job
I never said I have and average job. I said I have an average wage.

I can see you are very smooth with your words, but unless you are joking around, there is something you are not telling us.
Without wishing to sound conceited, I am probably above average looks - maybe a 7 on a good day. Maybe 8.5 on a great day. However, if you pay attention to some of my other responses and threads, you will see that it's not a walk in the park. It rarely is for anyone, for one reason or another, until you have years and year of experience and personal growth behind you.

The thing you (and others) should understand is that not everyone here is involuntarily celibate. I came here to become better with women (and people) in general, not because I cant get laid.

What's you reason(s) for being here, just out of interest?

Exactly. I think there is a 'Goldilocks zone', where you are neither too active [desperate] nor too passive... you are in the moment [naturally attuned], your eyes meet, and you act. And this usually happens with mutual attraction, or you are attracted because you feel the woman has a certain substance. Many guys who are in their head too much either don't pick up on the initial 'signals', or start second-guessing themselves.

The fact the majority if guys are not high value. The good news is you dont have to be.

And also being high value in my mind is having true money/power/fame/artist/athlete etc. Not because you go to the gym or have a decent job. To be honest thats laughable...its a beta mindstate. Thinking because you can bench 225 and work at joeblow office job that women should be throwing themselves at your feet. The game doesnt work that way.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
