"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.

You're so fixated on his looks that you dismiss every other factor that has been described, then pass off your own speculation as fact. His looks were clearly a factor, but claiming they were the only factor is pure speculation.

Maybe take your own advice and reread the definition of confirmation bias until the penny drops.
hey clockwerk,
What do you think it means when Greene says
“ but his SECRET was ..”
he isn’t clear here and doesn’t finish the sentence..

his ‘secret’ to what exactly ? .. Or ..of what

I am confused. Pls help clarify thanks
 

"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.

I don’t know, but acting like the wording on the video proves your point while ignoring the rest of the description is pretty disingenuous.

In my experience, I always take what women say with a grain of salt. Most of the time, they end up with someone completely different from the type they claim to be looking for.
100%! I'm guilty of this^^ including with my current who is an attorney and I swore I wouid NEVER date an attorney after working with them for years. Among other things.

I'm the same re looks. I always said my preference is tall, blonde and lean (swimmers physique). Why? Because my first love had that look and physique. And for a long time I compared every man to HIM!

But once I finally got over him, I have found myself attracted to all different types, men who did not have that look. So I stopped trying to figure it out. It's much too nuanced and subjective.

As I stated in my previous, in my experience it's about the chemistry/energy that exists between two people, a natural masculine/feminine polarity which is intangible and cannot be defined.

His looks factor in but not for the reason you think. Meaning he may not be conventionally good looking but because of the our mutual natural chemistry/energy which often times is felt very quickly after meeting, he becomes good looking TO ME.

It's also why I have turned down extremely hot men, men with a certain status and wealth..

What I'm trying to say is there is NO magic sauce or formula that will guarantee attraction for either gender IME. No amount of looks or Game will work if the natural chemistry isn't there.

Ever wonder why after a date when YOU felt everything went right, you looked great, were 100% on your Game, did everything right, the woman texted the next day saying "I had a great time but just wasn't 'feeling it'"?

For her, there was no chemistry, no "spark." It happens all the time

Genuine attraction (versus superficial) and chemistry cannot be manufactured or created, again jmo and experience. It simply exists, it's an intangible force, no rhyme or reason.

Stop trying so hard.

All that said, I acknowledge since this is a seduction forum this may not be the right thread (or the right forum) to discuss this in more detail so I'll leave it. Just food for thought

Carry on mate, good luck!

you don’t know?
But you followed along when he said the word SECRET and then the words HE DIDNT GET DEFENSIVE And HE DIDNT GET REACTIVE atraight after it right?

So what do you make of the meaning of that sentence … this Brazilian Man’s ‘SECRET’
His secret to WHAT mate.
Cmon, you made you’re interpretation of the video,
What’s your interpretation of that particular sentence..?

it’s a pretty simple question about a single sentence in the video.
I’m just confused . I need help understanding that sentence . Help me out here guys!
 

"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.

The video says that the secret is that he never got defensive or reactive. I'm not sure what there is to interpret differently when he spells it out in the very next sentence.

This guy is quite a hit with women too.

Yes. Muscular body, abs, stylish, chiseled jaw, appropriate canthal tilt. Wheat Waffles would rank a 10. Definitely has good text game.

Just one thing to add to @Cheeky_James .

After you asked, I shared with you via DM how my boyfriend approached me at the party. You admitted it was pretty cool! :D Very natural and organic.

There was no Game, no pre-selection, no indifference or other seduction techniques.

What there was was a natural chemistry and masculine/feminine polarity that resulted in a very natural light, fun, flirty, teasing and playful conversation that lasted hours!

He displayed interest, I displayed interest. Call me crazy lol but that's how I believe it should be. I wouldn't settle for anything less.

Was I attracted to his physical appearance? You betcha! That played a part for sure, of course! But it's only one component, it's NOT what drew me to him in the grand scheme.

Why are you trying so hard to find the magic formula? These are all theories, even what Robert Greene preaches is theory imo. It appears to "work" for some men but not all, why?

Because it's not about that.

Just be real. No need to improve your looks (unless you feel bad about yourself, then improve for yourself).

You might be surprised by simply being more genuine, authentic and comfortable in your own skin even if a bit awkward and vulnerable at times, making no apologies for it, how women will be more drawn to you.

Not superficial women who focus only on "looks, money, status" or who respond positively to games...ugh. Such women have their own game and won't hesitate to play it with YOU. Good luck with that. Water attracts its own level.

But rather quality women looking for a quality man. Whether it's for one night, many nights or a LTR.

Again JMO!

Check out the long running thread “Most Obvious Come on that was Missed.” Story after story of women who were interested (passing the initial looks filter) but then the guy flubbed it because of lack of game. We’ve all been there. Lol.
