Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Hey everyone!

So I thought we should have a thread on what people use to get people to start a conversation. This includes implied starters, eg Do you dress exceedingly well so you can talk to high class socialites? Do you have a fascinating tattoo that draws people in?

I'm looking to see how people showcase and take advantage of a certain aspect of their appearance or car or even their Rolex

I use my height. I'm six foot seven inches tall, so about 70% of the time when Im talking to someone new, that will point out my height, try to guess it, ask if my parents are tall, do I play basketball, etc.

The other reason why I'm starting this thread is because I would love suggestions on where to take this! Sometimes girls say I'm tall, then stand close next to me to highlight how short they look next to me. Prime kino opportunity, no?
How do I proceed with the conversation after they point out my height? What if they stand next to me?

Also I would love to hear other people's conversation starter things!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The best conversation starters happen in the moment. You can have the best canned openers that perfectly fit the situation, but if you are not in the moment, women will see right through your agenda.

Just get used to noticing things around your environment, or what people are doing. You will realize there are many things to talk about in every situation.

Yeah I use situation openers all of the time. Just mundane stuff to see if she's receptive and interesting.

I was getting at, in the OP, things like wearing a cowboy hat in the hope that a girl might ask if you're a cowboy or a rock star lol.
 

"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.

What do you mean?:eek:
What ever is going on in that instant. Like if a girl is picking out an orange or something in the store and you could ask her for help how to pick that perfect orange.

You: Hows the oranges this season...
Her: eff off creep... or "pretty good so far"

and just go from there.

Keep your eyes open and pay attention. There is tons of things you could say. Its just having the balls to do so. Oh, and I heard canned lines don't really work well.

Ah yeah I get you slitherjef! Yep, situation openers are the best. I have never tried a canned opener, and I don't really want to. Spontaneity is the key it seems.
