Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Haha, yeah.. You're totally right bro!Shiftkey said:Le Parisien, while the advice that guy gave was sh1tty, it IS possible to approach any woman and pick her up if your game is good enough. The key is to do what most guys don't, which is pretty much the opposite of what the guy in the video did lol
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 last part was awesome: "FVCK OFF!"![]()
What did he expect? No previous eye contact, not the slightest gauge of interest level.
I never buy into the "just do it", "just walk over there and pick them up" bullsh*t. I mean if it was that easy and only takes "courage", most guys would be getting laid by HBs...all the time....
By the way, after the "Angelus incident", I tend to give much much less credibility to the "unbelievably" field reports given here. For all I know, their "I just walked up to the HB and fluff talked and I kinoed a lot and we slept with her that very night" might be some keyboard jockeys just talking the talk so he can "make a point"...:crackup:
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.
Which makes it perfect for the Anything Else forum!Mitch_Mustain said:while there was nothing to be learned from this...the whole thing was like a big long joke which ended with "**** OFF!"" ha ha! clever
More importantly, no attraction. Rapport without attraction breeds the friend zone.SELF-MASTERY said:no rapport
