"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.

If you went too a forum like skilledseducer, I think you would soon understand the confusion (e.g most of the guys there claim they can bang literally any girl they want. No matter what they look like. Since their 'game', that involves NLP and other nonsense is so advanced that it's akind to brainwashing or jedi mind control! lol)
Attraction and seduction is the combination of looks, money, status, and personality.

Personality, including NLP, is the least significant variable.

Looks, including height, is the number #1 variable.

Money can really help in the right situations too.
 

"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.

That is never a positive thing.
Not according to my mindset. This isn't work, it's fun.

It's unknown how long that conversation was that @Plinco had, but it is doubtful that was more than 60-90 seconds. It's doubtful he wasted that much time. I'd rather get a soft no (conversation fizzles) than an IHAB, hard no like that.
I posted a summary of the conversation. In reality, it was about a three minute conversation.

I'm not taking that kind of rejection personally.

You’re both missing a variable: what the target values. Most of the time, it depends on the woman’s internal state at the moment of contact, boredom with her current life, stress, emotional dissatisfaction, craving for adventure, or simply an empty space in her mind that’s waiting to be filled. External factors also play a role such as timing, environment, social pressure, and mood. Truthfully, a seducer controls maybe 40%, at best less than 50%, of the overall dynamic.

60-90 seconds is long compared to 5-10 seconds.

Me: Excuse me miss, are you single?

Her: No, I have a boyfriend.

Me: Aight, you know I had to ask :lol: .

Her: But thank you :D.

Me: You're welcome :cool:.

*Walks away, curtain closes*

10 seconds, tops.

Cut chatter. Get to the point. Keep it simple.

Trivial, bullshiit talk about a damn TV stand or the weather is a waste of time.
This approach may seem blunt but in reality it is a huge turn on for women. It exudes confidence. Remember that boldness is almost always rewarded.

Even if you get the lady who legitimately is in an LTR of some sort, they typically still will enjoy this interaction. I think men get scared into thinking they will come off “creepy” or some other nonsense.

To be fair, the question ‘Are you single?’ is pleasurable because it’s ambiguous and it is the opposite of bold. The user is implying various possibilities without committing to any of them. It flirts with intimacy while maintaining plausible deniability.

"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.

Simplicity wins.

Why would someone worry about something that they don't control?

I want to remind you and everyone else here that happiness, honesty, integrity, productiveness, independence, reason, and a sense of pride are all more important that sex. This idea that rejection is a horrible thing, sex is all important, and talking to strangers not at all fun are such black pill mentalities.

This morning I got onto Bumble and Tinder

On Bumble, I have a search of radius 50 miles and have set the age range between 18 to 25. There were three new woman that popped up since I logged on more than a week ago. I swiped left on two of them and right on the other one.

On Tinder, I have a search of radius 30 miles and have set the age range between 18 to 25. It's been more than a week also since I brought that app up and six new women popped up. Swiped left on three and right on three.

Swipe apps are not a good option. They worked well ten years ago when I used them in Orlando but I don't see the benefit here.

Mode One philosophy doesn't contradict any of those things, and in fact it is based solely upon two of those things (honesty & integrity).

are all more important that sex. This idea that rejection is a horrible thing, sex is all important, and talking to strangers not at all fun are such black pill mentalities.
First of all, you wouldn't be approaching any woman if it wasn't for your pursuit of sex.

Second, I can't speak for others, but I never said rejection is a horrible thing.

Third, I never said talking to strangers ain't fun...and again, if your mentality is "Even if a woman ain't interested in me, I'll still talk to her for X amount of time"...if that is your idea of "fun", then hey...get your talk on. :up:

I agree with you. Not sure if you were reading what I was saying with a different interpretation than it was intended. You should always look at talking to women as playing with house money and have fun with it. First off, these interactions if they don't materialize into anything more won't matter at all. And if they do, then it's gravy.

Early 20s me would have placed sex as the ultimate goal -- but its only a part of the complete package for me anymore. I almost enjoy the hunt sometimes more than I do the sex.

You can, a little bit. To increase the success rate, the hunter should know where to hunt and who to hunt. By focusing on those who are unhappy or not preoccupied with work, school, or personal crises will naturally raise your odds, since they're more open to new connections and distractions.

No need to gaslight.

You insinuated that what we'd been saying is in contrast to what you said.

I might be crazy, but I ain't no fool.

The topic never left track, and I'm not blackpill.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I made two half butted approaches today.

Two girls talking about what kind of car one of them wants to drive and what their dad says to get. I interjected with my opinion, a very short exchange of ideas ensues but doesn't go anywhere because I did not continue the conversation. When I was in a store, I saw myself in the mirror and saw the wrinkles on my face, which was a downer on my inner game (self-esteem). They weren't 100% my type anyway, but still I could have done better.

Approach #2 was comedic. Granted she was polite, but I shuddered in my opener and that just killed it.

All three of these girls were under 20 years old and were 7/10+

I just approached a group of three girls at walmart. Made a comment about what they were looking at and then my mind drew a blank. The girls got a good laugh. I smiled and walked away no problem.

Kudos on your commitment Plinco- cold approaching is definitely not an easy thing to do.

Only advice I can give is to improve in the area(s) that you feel you need to & try not to take the rejections to heart. Many times you'll say and do the right things and are still met with "no". It's all about finding the people that are interested in what you're selling- when you do find them, it's easy.
 

"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.
