Pre-op transexual? A DJ can only HOPE "she" is! #Winning! lmao hahahaha
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.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I have no basis for anything. All I know is that you brag to us all the time about your wealth. Therefore I can only imagine that you brag to her as well and treat her to a high end lifestyle. Unless you only brag to us, but actually live in the slums. Somehow I doubt that.cordoncordon said:You have actually no basis in fact to make a statement like that. I'm not sure why you are always so negative? Life is too short to be so angry all of the time.
She is actually the least materialistic person I know. I showed her your comments laying next to me in bed here and she just laughed and said "stuff like that is why I stay off message boards".
FYI I'm not sure if you realize it but we got engaged a few months ago in Vegas. :cheer: :rock: :woo:
I brag about my wealth? I have thousands of posts on this site and a few from 4 years ago or so alluded to something about it in a stock thread. Hardly what I would call bragging about my wealth all of the time.Malice said:I have no basis for anything. All I know is that you brag to us all the time about your wealth.

I guess we will never know until you go broke will we? I am already almost broke so I have no problems.
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 got it!synergy1 said:Got nothing to lose, I am using a variant of this opener and seeing what kind of response it gets. This poster seems to resemble naughtninja?
synergy1 said:The success rate so far using that opener is roughly 10%. Part of what precludes many from responding is likely my distance. Most are a <1 hr due to the lack of people where I live.
Managed to number close a really hot chick who says she gets at least 40 messages per day.
Prognosis. Not too bad. Will keep at it.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
synergy1 said:So far my execution is much like you put on page 1 - I use a variant of your opener, than continue for 3 or 4 messages than tell them to send me their number. Of the few who responded, they gave me their numbers.
Holiday boyfriend shopping seems in. The plan is to date/ spin with a few of them to keep some options.
Will let you know how it works out. The interesting thing is with multiple options I really do not care what happens. Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.
A follow up from this thread - I have been using the variant of this opener for a few weeks. I can't give you the % of return emails, but its certainly better than before. One of the dates I was on ( as posted about on another thread) went well and was one I used the opener on.HumbleNinja said:Yep. Can't waste time chatting online being pen pals with these chicks. You pretty much call them out A.S.A.P within 4 exchanges or less for a number and a meet. If not let them string some other dude along or waste time playing email ping pong elsewhere.
