"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.

He's doing nothing but fukking up threads. And he's not remotely humorous. He's like a zit on your asscrack.
 

"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.

I guess the mayonnaise comment struck a nerve. Would you prefer if I used the term 'frozen hotdogs' instead?

I just went into your profile and noticed the thread you started about being a virgin.

Noticing your posts around here, I'm wondering if you actually talk/act like this in real life?

Yeah, you should also check the date when it was posted. I'd hate to be misrepresented. Namean?
 

"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.

I wasn't trying to flame you here.

I was asking you a serious question.

Do you actually act like you do here on these forums in real life?

Eh, you don't know me well enough to make that assumption.

But, did this place help you get laid? Or rather, have you managed to get laid since that thread? (I didn't read anything but the first post of it)

Yes i did get laid. No the forum didn't help. The only thing decent was pooks stuff in the dj bible.

That book changed my outlook on life and on women in general. The man really nailed it for me.

But I'm glad you finally got some. Or rather, it appears that you are trying to improve yourself, so however you present yourself here is really immaterial.
 

"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.

Like I said in my very first post, my intentions are not women, which I think is what makes this board bad since people end up validating themselves through women. I have goals that go far beyond women into my financial, spiritual, physical, and on.

Like I've said before, I'm not insecure like you and I don't have to validate myself too you. It's not like your opinion has an effect. Seriously, keep calling me a virgin, it makes me laugh.

Word.

Then you are a cut above the others here if that is truly your attitude.

It is. The hardest thing I had to do was admit, I didn't want to be an engineer, throw my degree in the garbage, and start my own business.

Damn, that's interesting, because I'm at that phase in my life where I'm trying to do the same thing. I'm an Engineer as well and I'm entirely dissatisfied with it.

I'm looking around at what I actually want to do right now.

After I got out, I just had a realization about things and realized the only reason I took engineering in the first place was because I was good at math and physics. In high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I did it, than I realized, it was what everyone else wanted for me. It wasn't what I wanted.
I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but in the past I'd say to myself, "you're too shy, you're not a people person, you don't know anything about business, just settle for a high paying job, cause that's the only way you're ever going to get money". I had to go battle these things.
