"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.

Lately I haven't logged on any dating apps too much but I got a match a few days ago and I've been practicing getting into the right mindset. Overall I've been busting my @ss. With the expression, using this method:


This is an average looking 30yo woman. I don't think I'll actually go on a date with her. For me she's somewhat attractive but through this conversation I feel like I'm being treated like an object. I also don't like my performance here. I feel and think that I should be doing better than this. I'm going to keep working at it until I nail it.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

And for any of you lurkers out there. If I can work six days a week for the past couple months and still show measurable improvement, with things like texting and cold approaches, you 9 to 5'ers have no excuses.

Dude...what are we doing here?

How are you gonna lead the conversation in this direction, then disqualify her for submitting and going in that direction with you? Do you even know what you want? This woman is 12 years younger than you, attractive, highly interested, and submitted to your frame.

I don't understand the logic in asking for something and being disappointed when it's given to you.

This looks unfinished.

How did the story end?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

She just replied a minute ago saying that she wants to hang out with me and she'll let me know when she gets off work tomorrow.

She's coming on pretty strong. I'll have to see how this goes.

So anyway she said that she doesn't want to go dancing because she gets too tired after work and wants to grab drinks instead. Not my kind of girl and not happening.

Why are you so committed to dancing?

This is such a slam dunk to the point where SHE offered YOU a more intimate alternative. Do you think you self-sabotage? Because I'm starting to think you're your own worst enemy.
 

"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'll like it better if she comes back to me otherwise I don't think I'm losing anything. She's not 100% my type anyway and I talk to women prettier than her from time to time despite my six day, ~50 hour, bust my @ss work schedule.

OP this average 30 y/o chick clearly wants to bang. Ask her if she's a good kisser (say it's important to you), segue into massages and then sex talk. Meet at yours or a bar near yours and then bang.

Maybe you can get laid before post #1000.
 

"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.

Have you considered that dancing might be an awkward first date for a chick? If it’s a must-have that she’s a line dancer .. just try for numbers at the club/ event. It’s a spanner in the works otherwise.
He's a salsa snob if memory serves. But here's the thing. Every girl loves to dance. So meet her for drinks & see what happens. After you get laid she will be much more open to going dancing.

Just don't be a rigid teacher type on the dance floor. You are there to move & have fun. I am an accomplished dancer, but God has a sense of humor & paired me with a man who doesn't really care about dancing...so I'm probably rusty now because I won't go without him, lol.

If by knowing they self you mean displaying extreme rigidity instead of fluidity that's more like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I know what I want and a girl who gets tired that easily is not going to work. The way she came on leads me to believe that she's a bit too mature. I don't want to stoop down to that level where I go on dates with women who I lack attraction for.

I'm getting better and better. I just need to target younger women.

It could be but I like dates that are more active. It gets the blood flowing.
