"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.

Are we trying too hard to pickup women? I was told by one woman that I tried too hard. she advised me to let things run it natural course then a woman will come along.


I am skeptical with her advice. I know from personal experience that I have to work hard in life to get the best things in life. Things don't come free and easy. I had dismal luck with pickup women. I am still fit, excellent abs, minimum grey hair. However I do have to wear glasses.
 

"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.

Well it's Usually...

A bad sign when a women tells you things like this. Some guys exude neediness and some confidence.

Was this someone that you were trying to pickup or a close friend?

Here a hint: Your game should be so tight as if to be transparent!

I still think landing females is a numbers game. I am one of those individuals who has to try a lot harder to have any success (in pretty much every avenue).

The woman who told you that really believed what she said. But notice. She said eventually some woman would come along. Don't you want your choice of women today?

And I agree with a previous poster, alot of times ppl say this if a guy comes off as needy and incongruent. Work on improving yourself in all ways, talk to women you find attractive, and you should be on your way.

By the way, don't let women tell you how to shape your personality, unless she is someone you are in love with and is DEEPLY in love with you. Even then, you got to take personality/romance advice with a bucket of salt.

Me, I have to play it very carefully with women. If I try to hard I scare them off. But If I act like I dont care, they leave, thinking I'm not interested at all. I usually have a very narrow margin I have to work with when I'm interested.
 

"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.

I had a talk with one girl whom I confided my feelings that I haven't found my Mrs. right. She said I tried too hard. I should let nature takes its natural course then the right girl will come along soon enough.

I am skeptical of her comments. I had waited long time for nature course to run pass me. well, the stream of nature didn't bring cinderella to me. :(

It's like wanting to catch a bus but being told that you don't have to go to the bus stop to catch one. :rolleyes:

Success is only had from purposeful action. However, charismatic finesse will take you much further than wildly swinging a sledgehammer.
