"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.

And so I was trying to DJ this one chick and as we talk, I give her this eye contact and as we talk I use the old "ah your nose wiggles when you laugh" quote and after another neg she said that I make her feel self conscious. I told her that she was overreacting and needing to calm down.

I made her feel self conscious, is this a good thing or bad?
 

"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.

Dude, read the DJ Bible again...

It's called neg-hits work on girls with low self esteem. Why are you even gaming chicks like that?

If she gets self concious from your ways, than your not vibing with her.

So YES it is bad. Unless you are simply breaking down barriers that you can sense it's not helping.

Neg's are meant to do what?

"say it again, I can't heeeeeeaaaaaarrrrr youououou!"

Negs are meant to break down b!tch shields. To make a girl know she ain't up on a pedestal.

You should incorporate a sort of casual comedy in your neg hits to maintain an atmosphere of normal comfort. Make sure you laugh a little, then move on. The purpose of a neg is to make a girl feel as if you aren't a "threat", but also to make the uber-hot ones come down a notch. Judge the self-esteem of the girls that you are encountering and use that as a judge of how much to neg. I usually go by my own standard. The more I feel intimidated or uncomfortable around a hottie, the more I will rely on some of my tried and true negs to lighten things up, even out the playing field, and make both of us more comfortable together. Always remember that negs are supposed to lighten the mood, not create animosity.

hey man, i was just tellin that hoe what was up... She on the other hand has been complimenting me. She says I'm intimidating, yet halarious and sweet. I told her "hey, I just drink my beer and watch 60s porn."

Hell I noticed that whenever I'm far from where she's at in class, she'll be sweet and all that sh*t, but when I'm near her because a friend sits close to her, she starts cussing her friend out and telling her how she hates all these b*tches. She's an AFC.

She wants my johns...
