"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.

Hi all,

I'm an HS Senior, and I was recently accepted to the University of Chicago! I'm really satisfied, and I may be attending in the fall, depending on where else I am accepted and my financial aid options.

So, did any of you guys attend UChicago, or are any of you going to attend next year?

I'd definitely like to talk with someone who is attending this coming fall, since if I decide to go, I'd like to know a person who is dedicated to self improvement at Chicago.

Thanks guys!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I never went to UChicago but my friend is in the master's program and my boss has an MBA from there, that's a top quality school. Congrats on getting in, man, that's no easy feat. Have fun with 10 years of student loans to pay off.

Yes, congratulations are in order. Well done sir.

Search "chicago" in the forums (perhaps the wingman forum) to see who is in that area. It's good that you have options. A man with options is a man with power. Good luck to you.

Thanks guys. College admissions has been really wacky this year, I am very lucky to have been accepted to such a great school. For instance, I was just waitlisted at George Washington University, which is a safety school for me...pretty odd

Yeah, student loans could be a problem, but I am pretty sure I will receive a substantial amount of aid from them given my family circumstances. Now, paying for grad school or law school, there is a problem ;)

Magma, I totally forgot sosuave has a wingman forum, mostly because I never look in it, haha. Thanks for the suggestion.

Wutang, yes it really is. If I attend, I'm hoping to be able to convince the advisers there to let me create my own major. I'd like to major in PPE, or Philosophy, Politics, Economics. So, hopefully I can study three subjects I find pretty interesting.

I was interested in going there. Was actually accepted there too. Too damn expensive though.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Millersville University for education (best state school in PA for education), but realized that I didn't want to go to education.

Now, I'm wondering aimlessly through college (no challenge and i just realized it last week). That is why I am preparing to switch to Caznovia College near Syracuse, NY next year for psychology.

not yet, and I'm not sure if I want to do a psyche major or communication major.

Have to still get an associates degree in Philosophy first.

"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.
