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.
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.
Much of this boils down to fundamental biology/human psychology:DJ tricks works best when you are 18-27 tops when they allow you to land anything above your own looks level.
If you do land anything above your looks level, it also means that you are at least above average both in status and money department.
Reason: after male is past 27 years old, "opponent" experience kicks in (best looking women already have seen it all or are simply taken) and a lot of competitors use assets to sway woman's interest:
- "sure you have a boyfriend... so have I told you about my apartment? No, not the one I live in - the one tourists rent from me via Booking"
- "I feel for your boyfriend, looking for a job for such a long time is truly a mess... thankfully, it never happened to me and I am doing great right now, being steadily promoted almost every year."
- "Nah, this Porsche is not my daily, I have BMW for that. I use Porsche only on the weekends. For example I love this particularly beautiful road, right near X which I think is is just few miles from your place..."
