"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.

I read somewhere about props and how to strike up convosation.

One girl that I...messed around with....has given me a T-shirt.

Not only it is quite confortable for being cotton it says "Man whor3" (without the 3) on the front.

I just noticed after so much time that it could be used as a prop.
And during that time I never wore it cause of fear of bad responses.

What do you guys think, and what do you think I could say in response?

I got one where I say, yes I am, but I'm not cheap...and by the looks of it you wont be able to afford a inch of me.
 

"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.

A prop is just used so she can comment on something after the inital approach... you can run into a story saying how you got it at the grotto in the playboy playhouse when your clothes mysteriously disappeared.

She's gonna know it's bull**** but its a fun story anyway :D

F a tshirt, get a baby!!

You want a prop, borrow somebody's kid, preferably very young baby who still has to be held. Or if you have a niece or nephew you can use. Then take said baby to the place where you can think of where the most HB's congregate and just do your thing. I would be willing to bet you good money that at least one of them will open you when they see you coddling the baby, especially if you look like you're having a hard time doing something, like , whatever, setting it back down into the stroller or whatever, go out of your way to make it look like you're having a bit of a hard time but are really really loving being with the baby nonetheless. Couple with that w/being well-dressed and well-groomed the day(s) you do this, you'll be on fire. ~Dino

I wont get that while in college.

I did have a good response with a stick that I picked up and used as a walking stick while walking to a party.

She asked what it was for but before I did anything my friend freaked out and told me to get rid of it. :rolleyes:
 

"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.
