"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Tell her she's a liar and bite her on the arm. Hard.

Whenever someone gives me a really sincere compliment, my usual answer is as follows:

HER: Wow, you're attractive, smart AND funny!
ME: That's what I keep trying to tell everybody.
 

"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.

In your head
hahaha love it, thats too much ammo for a smooth criminal ;)

Her: " you are really nice looking"

Looking in her eyes with a sly grin:

1. Are you hitting on me?
2. Why don't you just ask me for my number
3. Hey I'm not thaaaat easy
4. Is that your way of asking me out?
5. Is that the best pickup line you have?
6. Hey, glad we have something in common
7. What? Even without the makeup?
8. Finally a women who speaks her mind!
9.
*badly acting it's hard to hear*
Sorry what was that you said?...
What?....
Didn't quite get you?...
Say that again?...
What???
Oh... I just like the sound of voice when you say it.
*apply Kino here*

:D

Hehehe otherwise

Just say.... "Thanks" and move on to something else like it was nothing.
This forces her to assume that you get that a lot and it doesn't really mean that much to you. She might even call you on it. I love this. Good default reaction for those still on their training wheels.

Me: and?

If it's a female friend who compliments me, I'll get a bit c+f on her. i.e. if she compliments my looks, I'll accuse her of not appreciating my intelligence or accuse her of buttering me up with compliments because she wants to sleep with me.

However, when it's a stranger or someone I barely know who compliments me, I just say "thanks". I noticed that this is how most confident HBs take compliments and it indicates that receiving them is no big deal.

"Thank you" is normal.

If you want to be ****ier, say something like "I know." and give her a big grin.

Or just don't say sh!t. It drives 'em nuts when they throw you compliments and you don't react. I guess they think "He must get that ALL the time if he takes it so nonchalantly". Or something, fvck'f I know.

hehe, I like that one. Delivered with a dead serious face saying "it really means a lot to me to have somebody not just look at my inner beauty" I can see that one being the dog's b*llocks. ,)

I usually say something like "well, it's hard not to."
