"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

just focus on making them feel extremely comfortable around you while you socialize with them.

how to do this
- don't try to impress them
- be extremely genuine (go in wanting nothing from the interaction)
- pay 100% undivided attention to them
- feel very comfortable yourself around them.

its crazy how powerful this is. This is what I've been focusing on at my job recently and I close customers at a crazy rate because people feel super comfortable around me. This triggers all their positive mental mechanisms to say "yes" because they trust me and like me immensely

I don't think this works around females because they're basically a mutant subspecies and none of their behavior works based on any logic but at least you can make friends very easily and have great success at work if your job is based on sales or relationship building of any kind.
 

"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.

Of course this works around females. When most guys become completely socially inept before a woman who's even slightly interested they really appreciate a man who can just act normal.

Acting differently to women is one of the major reasons they get turned off. Acting indifferently like it's just a normal comfortable situation makes everything easier, including women.

hmmm


in any case, when I focus on just that, I find that people like me very much naturally without me having to do much

Yep, one of the key principles espoused by Dale Carnegie in "How to Win Friends and Influence People". People think the world revolves around themselves and when you appear to acknowledge that, they love you for it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Not pissing off the person you're dealing with its an amazing first step, everyone knows it yet very few remember it.

And don’t ask them a ton of questions. Yes, people like to talk about themselves, but don’t turn it into an interview. At least space out your questions so it doesn’t feel like a interview lol.
True. I found the most effective way is to ask them a personal question which they elaborate on, naturally. Then I simply stoke their thoughts on that topic by taking one of their thoughts and framing in to something which I can personally relate to and speak more about the idea of that topic, as when we talk about ideas rather than events or people our brains almost become boundless. Asking question after question and pretending they have ALL the knowledge is actually boring for both people and the conversation will go up in flames pretty quick.

Big Dave. You been making this 110% more difficult than it is. Right now you need to be getting your D1ck wet .In Chicago you could be cleaning up and tapping multiple babes a week . But you must get your dyck wet. Females can sense when your not getting puzzy . And when you are, others will want to fvck. That's how it is. Right now just worry about fvcking babes or a babe who chooses you. From there your game will rise .
 

"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.

This^. Too many questions too fast from someone bugs the crap out of me. I start to question their agenda and start thinking about how much they are wasting my time. Often times people who drill you with 1 million questions are looking to hear answers that put you in a light That is relatively negative compared to their own. So then they can internally gloat.
