"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Are cold approaches common in real world?

I don't see anybody doing it. Is it that scary and rare?
 

"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.

It is really different than you probably present it to yourself.

You just make some obviou comment to her and if she responds positively you continue...

or if your with a friend ask your opinion abouth an argument your having and take it from there if possible....

It is nothing scary really.

Here's how mine went down tonight.

Went to a coffee shop to meet a female friend (platonic). I had brought some jack in the box food with me into the coffee place. Got there before my friend so I made some calls to girls I met over the weekend.

When i was done I noticed two cute asian girls to my left. They were wearing bright colored shirts. As I sat down I said loudly, "Ahhh, look at that. Pastel colors. Pretty bright." They didn't even look at me but I continued on, "You've got bright green on and she has lavender. Don't see that everyday. Hey, you ever had Jalepeno Poppers from jack in the box? This **** is good. Want some?"

They turned, looked me, smiled and said no.

I replied, "You sure? It's good. Look, I even have ranch sauce to dip it in. I'm tellin you, you gotta try it. This **** will put hair on your chest."

They laughed and declined. Then they made a lame joke about wearing pastels during winter cause they thought it was spring. I was like, "Ah, well that's cool. Hey, you stand out. Everyone is wearing dark colors when it's already gloomy but you guys are bright. So you are helping to cheer people up. Rock on."

Then I asked em where they were from, they asked me, etc etc. Then my friend came in and sat down. I didn't even know the two girls names but I said to my friend, "Oh, how rude of me, I didn't even introduce you to my two friends. This is..."

They all shook hands and introd themselves. Then asked my name. Etc etc. Talked, got my friend involved. Soon, all four of use were talking and laughing. Found out one girl is from UCSD so I decided not to get her info. But the other one is from my area so I got her number. She asked for mine as well.

Done deal.

It's not that hard. Just say whatever the fvck comes to your mind. It may not be common for you now but soon it will be. And everyone will love to be around you cause it's exciting. Who else has the balls to do this shiet? You will be the one person who does.

True that, and to add to this I myself got two hookups last week on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

Not enough for a field report, but expect some pics down the line.;)

b/c most people don't have the balls to do it, that is why I want to be able to do it.

Word. Like I said, just say whatever comes to your mind. Don't be concerned if you sound stupid.


Try it.

Hmm... I think that cold approaces aren't that common, and that's part of what makes them so overwhelming and successful...people don't know how to react to them, cuz they arent used to experience them at all... at least In where I live there's not so many ones...

I think most women are use to guys just starring at them and looking away. I made my FIRST cold approach this past sunday on a single mother in a parking lot.

She gave me some eye contact and it took me a few moments to get the balls to approach. I noticed that she was from out of state, so I made up a half-truth about thinking about attending grad school in the state where she is from. I used a bit of a corny line:

me: are those ur two kids
her:yes
me: (CORNY) well, you sure as hell dont have the body of a mother of two...
her:laughed (im sure she has heard this type of line before)

we small talked and I mentioned my niece....

Got her number shooked hands and she left....

Picking up hb's is new to me, I'm trying to use some advice I learned on her about learning to LOVE the anticipation of a pick up (the nervousness, shackness, increases heart rate etc... I use an affirmation about loving that feeling as a pre-pick up routine. Similar to how a swimmer or sprinters loves to love the sound of the gun that starts the race.
