"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.

In my ABC's of Attraction, the first step is, obviously, Approach and Attract.

The actual APPROACH, whatever particular approach style you choose, is not only for you to actually go up and engage in a conversation with a woman, but also to generate ATTRACTION within the first 30 seconds.

Attraction can (and should be) ENHANCED and MAINTAINED thereafter in B - BUYING TEMPERATURE, but first impressions count.

A flubbed Approach means you have to work extra hard at creating that Attraction. When you stick your Approach, the rest of the ABC is easy (DEF being another story). 30 seconds of work and you'll know when you're IN or OUT. On one hand, hard to master but on the other, perhaps the EASIEST stage.

The mechanics of the actual approach differ in certain details. Like a True Indirect (indirect body language and indirect opener) to True Direct (like direct bodylanguage and direct opener) to my preferred style (direct bodylanguage and indirect opener) which I consider more versatile. But every situation and every girl needs to be judged individually (ie if she's giving you that "look", why would you bother with True Indirect?).

But why 30 seconds? Well, first impressions are made within a split second by people unconsciously. The first things they notice is Gender and Race. You're "thin sliced" within mere seconds and unconscious judgements are made of you based off your appearance, fashion, facial expression, body language, and so forth. AND, scientifically speaking, people notice Hostile/Fearful/Anxious expressions more than they do Happy/Neutral (ie getting creeped out is more likely to occur if you don't come in strong).

And that's even before you open your mouth and even includes the moment when you walk up to her and she's unconsciously aware of you on HER proximity radar.

To give it more perspective, consider in study on Speed Dating at the Edinburgh Science Festival:
  • 45% of women decide within 30 seconds
VERSUS
  • 22% of men decide within 30 seconds

30 seconds, gentleman, 30 seconds.

Quite frankly, in my estimation, if you've stuck your Approach very well, you don't need to generate much General Attraction after that. Which is a problem for Routine/Social Monkeys who run material after material in order to feel like they've got enough Attraction when, really, she's unconsciously decided that you're a potential boyfriend and/or hook up buddy even BEFORE you've finished your Opener.

Feel free discuss. Topics include:

  1. Body Language
    [*]Indirect BL / Indirect Opener
    [*]Direct BL / Direct Opener
    [*]Direct BL / Indirect Opener
    [*]Initial Tonality
    [*]Facial Expressions
    [*]Body Language
    [*]Fashion
    [*]Kino Open
    [*]Approach Tonality
    [*]Opener
    [*]Walking
    [*]Logistics of Approach
    [*]Calibrated Energy Level
    [*]Eye Contact
    [*]Engaging the Group with Opener

Here is a step by step example of an Approach.

Here are some thoughts to killing Approach Anxiety.
 

"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.
