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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Speaking of that, this is one of my dance teacher.Ironically, it's the one that will almost always attract the most women, because it displays something that is almost universally attractive to women that can't be faked.

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.
That's an easy fix, stop moving your hips so much lol that's her jobI dance salsa, although lately I've been thinking about switching to other styles.
Salsa makes me feel a little too "feminine."
What dance styles do you know and have you practiced?
I do remember seeing some instruction on dancing where the said the guy's job is basically to highlight the woman while she does her thing. Kinda makes sense.That's an easy fix, stop moving your hips so much lol that's her job
In all seriousness west coast swing is pretty awesome. She gets to do her crazy, sexy sh*t and I get to stand there and look amazing without sweating my balls off.
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.

I think dancing helps men become comfortable with rejection (dancing in front of everyone), develop an idgaf attitude, gain mastery and control over their bodies, and become sensual.
But most importantly, it teaches you how to have fun with a woman's body.
There's no going back, guys.
It's as if when you learn to dance, you now know what to do physically to a woman to have fun with her physically, any woman!
So you no longer see two breasts and an ass, but rather all the elements that connect to her brain.
Great post, I wonder if there are other disciplines/activities a man can do in his life to take total control of having fun with a woman's body.
Besides sex, which is obvious, I was thinking about things like learning to give massages, and something like improvisation.
What do you think?
Even at age 13, I considered line dancing to be incel (in as much as that term had been developed, LOL).Line dancing with a bit of break dancing, and mixing some of my own moves if I really like the music.

I never thought I'd see myself doing line dancing to Nickelback O.O

When I was in college, one of my buddies tried to hype us up for line dancing at a country bar on campus. I thought line dancing was corny as h*ll and thought it would be full of old folks and hill billy whales. But found out real quick, chicks dig it and the entirety of all the collegiate HB10s were congregated there.Even at age 13, I considered line dancing to be incel (in as much as that term had been developed, LOL).
Pooka is pretty awesome, it's just triples the entire time. It's even better during oktoberfest with a legit pooka band.I'm from Texas and still live here. C&W is my fav. And not just line dancing, We have the pooka, Texas 2-step, country waltz, cotton-eyed joe (line dance) and shottice (line dance). And my fav is the Texas Swing. Back in my Rock-star 20s & 30s we hit the clubs and bars on a regular basis. Facts are that almost All women Love to dance and most of them are really pretty good at it.
That’s great but not what we do here in Texas
I never thought I'd see myself doing line dancing to Nickelback O.O
How we do it in Florida ))That’s great but not what we do here in Texas
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.
