I did this a long time ago only once, and now that I looked back at it it did work. I was just too much of a bit(h back then though...lol. I've only done situational openers since then. I guess I'll try direct again. 
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.

What an eye opener... I didn't realize that for the past year, that most of the girls I dated or hooked up with, was the result of a direct approach.

While the direct approach is a great way to meet women, the main underlying theme to it is confidence. Confidence is the most crucial part of picking up women. Know what you want, and go and get it. No confidence=no women.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

And just how much confidence or guts does it take when you're preaching to people who feel that they need to be told what to do?mcpwn said:it takes confidence and guts to get up on a stage and say hypocrital things and expect all things to go right
