"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.

"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.

This is indeed a very good article. Well-researched, fair, smart, well-written. Of course, the female author thinks she's a catch when she looks like this (apologies in advance for those eating):



But still, an excellent article.
 

"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.

Is there anything more disgusting than a young woman that is chunky but without nice teats? :mad:

Young? She's over 30, or looks like she's over 30

The delusion is off the charts. I'd sooner masturbate wearing a rusty metal glove.

If I am being honest here, never heard of Mystery until today but PUA's were never part of my life growing up as a teen or college years, needless to say, neither to this day. For some reason, I feel bad for men that need to follow a guide or 10-step course to pick up women. Or a man trying to impress a girl for the sake of hopefully ba**ing her. It just seems sleazy and depressing but that's just me.

But the article is really well-written, there's some good content when she talks about MRA's, Red Pillers, Proud Boys, etc. I would have liked for her to focus more on that rather than PUA 2.0.

Articles from Buzzfeed are written and run by feminists so they tend to be very biased. I generally don't read any of their trash.

I wonder how much of Mystery's success comes from the fact that he is 6'5"?
More of it is due to the fact he's charismatic and personable.

There is video of Mystery being less than charismatic, but we all have bad days. And I'm not so sure about personable, because the successful footage of him that I've seen seemed to consist of him stringing together canned routines and lines that didn't appear to fit any context at all. I'm not trying to bag on him though, it takes guts to do what he did.

I remember his entrance on his show The Pickup Artist, and he came into the room flanked by a wingman on either side, they were all dressed in black, he had a silly hat on that probably made him look about 6'10" or 11". The fact that he was in the center and towered over the people next to him naturally drew attention and sent a certain message.

His stuff doesn't work in the swipe era, and his show was entertaining at best. Now, with apps, everything is how you are seen socially and your clout. It's all BS, and can work wonders if you're good at the smoke and mirrors type of thing. Eventually, everyone has to pay the piper; including David Strauss and Mystery.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
