"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.

Why are people so drawn to you when you don't want anything out of them?

By that, I mean you talk to them with zero agenda, zero attachment to outcome, not wanting anything, etc....


I notice that when I talk to customers at work for example without caring at all, my close rate is huge. When I start to get a little desperate because I'm in a slump, my close rate is garbage


What causes this? Seriously, when you talk to people, the less you want them to like you, the more they will like you. The more you want them to like you, the less they will like you
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Abundance mindset relaxes them. It gains their confidence. When we try to force it, it stresses them and pressures them.

It's because you aren't trying and are your "normal" self. Most men will pander to women in hopes to get laid. If you were to ask them deep down do they really want to do those things they'd say no, but they do them anyway. The women know this and have no respect for guys. You still need everything in order but tha'ts the answer to your question.

People always become weary when you want something, because it almost always ends up being something that would be in YOUR OWN best interest, rather than in theirs.

When you want nothing from them, they start to wonder what it is that you have that would be in THEIR best interest.

I think it also portrays you as being a genuinely great person


A genuinely great person doesn't want nothing from anybody else, no agendas or nothing

I've been doing this all day and it shocking how much people are drawn to me immediately. I was making small talk everywhere today
 

"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.

Dave we have to stop talking about it, stop looking here and social media every day and just start living it.

I made small talk with 4 people today and it all went great

saw zero women I would be interested in
Just keep moving. Be nice to some of them. I'm sure the ones you don't expect have great personalities and interesting information.

There's deep rooted psychology behind the way conversations and interactions flow.
Phony people set off subconscious triggers in the human body, which makes you become more guarded. It's a natural reaction and protective mechanism.

There's a way to bypass this through psychological tricks.
If you ever watch interrogation videos, you'll see detectives become really friendly towards suspects within the first hour. This technique is used to lower their subconscious guard.
Every hour after that becomes more menacing and manipulative as the interrogation tactics ramp up and more aggressiveness is applied.

It's really fascinating if you think about it.

Like a frog in boiling pot of water. He doesn’t notice the temp creeping up... and then wham... croaks.
 

"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.
