"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.

Guys of the forum
I just wanna ask something here… is there any acfual evidence at all that any form of ‘Game’ works in getting women above your smv?

honest question.
I mean PUA ‘Game’ was pretty much a fail and had zero evidence of this.

But …is there any evidence from ‘post PUA’ either?? ( or should I say, just the traditional ideas of bettering oneself)

To the self improvement believers here;
does any kind of ‘maxxing’ actually really move the needle to get women out of a guys SMV league?

like, I’m exluding mad maxxes in Status and Money factors. Cos they pretty hard to do (Afaik) like jumping from $100K -> $500K pa , or becoming a ‘super connected popular social circle guy’ if ur an introvert by nature …

like. Is BP correct in looks -matching … cos I think are.

I’m about a 7 face and 5’10” tall.
And have pulled heaps.
But only through volume have I managed to occasionally pull what I’d call “out of my league’ .
The bottom of the 8 tier.
8s-with-lotsa-problems kinda deal. Broken 8s. Mental issues etc (lol)
I’m keeping it real here.

like quality 8s. 9s and 10s are just out of my league no matter what I reckon. I’m capped on looks and height unfortunately.

Like, if I gym maxxed and got a great body.. I reckon I’d still max out with a fit 7 chick. Yknow?


Opinions (and more importantly evidence ) please .

Cheers CJ

"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.

If you're talking about inner 'game' then yes. Feeling better about yourself makes you look better.

There is always the Wish Willow and wish-maxxing when self-improvement and game doesn't work. Not that I would recommend that of course.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Never heard of it but assume it’s a joke.
Geo-maxxing is all I can see as a real quick fix to jump up smv to access hotter women.

Other ways might be via status maxxing
DrugDealer/ Thug Maxx
DJ/ClubPromoter/Bouncer Maxx
Fashion photographer Maxx
None are easy.

And the girls will be LSE /problem cases

Else (just for sex)

"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.

Dating is a volume game. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves.
that’s not even the question asked tho.
It’s

-is there any evidence (at all) that any kind of Game gets a guy hotter women than his base smv of his Looks rating?

Volume just a guy gets a guy more chicks around (or below) his league. Not above his league. Not hotter women. That’s my assertion.

I don’t see any evidence at all tbh.

Volume and/or game will get you women at your league. Luck will get you women above you league.

You are asking "on a abstract thing, is there evidence you can get a definite thing?"

First the abstract thing has to be defined. Otherwise there will be arguments over what it is.

Of course there is.

If you think having zero conversationsl skills, acting like a weirdo, being creepy or other inept behaviors by men doesn't turn women off then I'm not sure what to tell you.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I've said this before, but I don't like this concept. It's saying that she has higher value than you, putting her on a pedestal.
Would it make you feel better that she was "slumming" with you?

Some dating and mating goals are impractical, no matter how many tactics and strategies one has acquired, yeah... Exs.

-If you're neither a 1%er nor a glamorous celebrity, bagging the day's hottest actress or the world's most venerated supermodel is-generally speaking-more unlikely than Carl Benjamin, Turd Flinging Monkey, and Brian Martinez over at Honey Badger Radio making it from their respective front doors to the mailbox, without running out if breath. Women in that income bracket almost never "date down", and when they do, it's in pursuit of a house husband. Reference Danny Moder and Cooke Marooney

-Conversely, if you ARE a 1%er/something adjacent or glamorous celebrity... Well, it's prudent to be extremely cagey about the gals you allow into your orbit. Quite a few of these fellas have either wifed up a waitress or a glamour model of working class origins, only to find that such women are a poor fit for the social strata they occupy. It's no coincidence that Anastasia Steele's almost never occur outside the realm of fiction. Multi-billionaires in RL almost always marry women who are AT LEAST upper middle class

dude - If I’m a solid 7/10 in looks and height.
And if she is a 10/10 supermodel.. or movie star.
of course she has higher value than me :rofl:

Or a 9/10..
Or an 8/10..

no amount of Inner game gymnastics changes the reality of her looks vs my looks .

like I said in OP.

Is there any evidence of girls dating down in smv IRL.

Of course there is.
So where is it.
Pls point me in the direction. Just upload some photos demonstrating this.. of a guy dating up in smv using any form of ‘game’ strategy,

if it’s so obvious and visible, ought to easy for you to evidence.

This is simply silly and that isn't how it works.

Because you are competing against yourself. So your own baseline is what you are looking to improve. Who keeps "evidence" of every woman they talk to?

It's easily showable by people who don't approach women very often and are terrible, but then become better as they do it more often. Just like literally anything else in life. Why would you think this would be any different?

Same looks, so what changed? Clearly it's their ability which was developed through repetition and practice. The same way a person who is a professional athlete wasn't the same skill level the first time they played their first game.
