"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.

I got laid at a pre-NYE event during the weekend. Not sure if it had anything to do with the NYE effect, but it happened.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

That counts as getting laid during the November 15-December 31 slow season for meeting new women.

I'm sure you were happy to get laid last weekend.

What kind of event was it?

A weekend NYE event. Sort of an unofficial one. Think halloween weekend before actual halloween that falls on a weekday.

I went out last night on the night of January 1 for the first time in many years. For future reference, I'll acknowledge that this happened on a Wednesday night.

I went to a bar that is typically considered to be one of the more active bars. This bar is located in one of the more nightlife active areas of the city.

This bar was more active last night as compared to the 2 times I tried going out on the night of January 1 in the mid-2010s.

Talent pool was rather weak last night. More females were out in mixed set groups with boyfriends/husbands. There were a few groups of 2 or 3 women. One of the groups of 3 women had 1 women dressed in a sweatshirt and sweatpants. She looked like she was dressed to relax in her home alone or in her home with a close, long time friend. She was not dressed to impress. Other women weren't dressed to impress in this venue either.

The women in this venue seemed unmotivated to find a new penis for sex to start off the new year. The ones with boyfriends/husbands were clearly unmotivated but the women in 2-3 set groups were also unmotivated. The 2-3 set groups seemed more interested in keeping to themselves than finding new men.

Other venues near the bar where I went were even less crowded with fewer options than what I saw where I was.
I also went out last night but with different intent. I was trying to find places to go on Wednesday's but the result was that its not a normal Wednesday due to New Years. I had my eye on this one lounge I've been wanting to go but when I got there it was super dead. Then I went to my go to spot and it was also dead and the bartenders were telling me how during holiday times its generally slow. I am hoping it goes back to normal starting this weekend. I did see 1 bar that looked pack but I was already on my way home and tired so maybe next week I will try going. Are you going out at night a lot or are you only come out during holidays?

Also I can vouch for your observation that the vast majority of sets you will see are couples. Its almost impossible to find women out at night alone. I've been going out two nights every weekend since summer and I'd say that I only catch a woman by herself at a bar maybe once every other month max and most of the time she isn't attractive.

I think its good mind set to open girls regardless of what she is wearing so sweats wouldn't be a deterrent. If they are out its good to assume that they are cool with the idea of being approached or else they would have stayed home. In my experience a lot of the most unapproachable looking chicks end up being the most sweetest.

I am open to going out at night more than I currently do. I have been lacking a wingman in recent years as almost all of my closer friends are married. The majority of my married friends/acquaintances also have children at home. While I feel no pressure to follow their lifestyle choices, I also know that my choices have led to my current situation.

Also I can vouch for your observation that the vast majority of sets you will see are couples.
That's bad. I doubt I saw anyone in the bar I went who was on an early stage swipe app date.

Why are so many established couples out?

I was hoping to see more sets of 2 women or 3 women.

This is in line with my bar experiences over time.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It's not a matter of whether a girl is out alone or not that determines if she's DTF. 99% of the time they are going to be out with somebody. What matters is the context of the night and its expectations. New Year's Day: context = day you celebrate with your close friends. So the girls you find out that night, will be doing exactly that. Celebrating it with their close friends. They are not out in the mindset of potentially hooking up with a stranger.

Also see:Thanksgiving Eve.

You are much more likely to get lucky on a random weekend (when they may go out with those same group of friends, but their mindset for why they're out is different) than any big holiday.

Thanksgiving Eve.
Thanksgiving Eve has been talked about in this thread and other threads over time. Many think that's a good night for getting laid at the bars.

Correct. many guys think its a good night for getting laid. which is how you end up in situations like this
Inside was shoulder-to-shoulder with a ratio of something like 8 guys per girl, and while plenty of girls were decent, I couldn't find any that were hot enough for me to want to approach them.

Random Instagram model I follow posted something further solidifying this; she's in Madrid celebrating in some VIP section and noted that the guy-to-girl ratio was crazy...recorded a video and could barely see any women in the crowd.

I just stayed home on December 31st and January 1st. Everything was closed, including the mall, so I was just being a fat ass. I went out on the 30th of December though…

"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.
