"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.

Yea is it a good or bad thing if people have been hearing that you're "pimping" alot of girls.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
I'd say being widely known for anything that isnt embarassing would be a great thing.

Being known for "pimping" though.... I think you can work with that. Use a line like Charm said, and just allow for the reputation to bring women to you. Give them the chance to see the real you. They'll feel privledged.

On the other hand, if they really take the rumors to heart, you might face a lot of resistance. Then its your job to play it kool and let them decide for themselves what to think about you. If you try to disprove it, they'll most likely believe it even more.

Just be you man, either way.

Definitely a good thing on the whole. Universities are more like school than the real world in the sense that social proof is important. Just be sure that you don't seriously **** someone over cos that could ruin your reputation.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yea Btw this was posted on facebook so its not just a word of mouth thing so I'm a little worried it might be taken a little too seriously by some. Or am I just being paranoid?

I have been working at hospital for 8 years and banged quite a few about 8 girls there. So over the years people have gotten to know me. When new girls come in they are attracted to me but girls tell them that I am bad news. It could be an advantage and a disadvantage, because when your talking to them they question you, and your motives. I have lost a couple of lays because of this. But then again you could play it like I never cared about the other girls but ur special. All around I think it is a bad thing. Because u might lose your chance with good girls. But the skanks will love u. LOl
 

"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.

If you have to ask, it means you don't control the situation and can't take advantage of it.

That's a bad thing.

No I just mean like thats not all they said is it? You didn't just ask them about it and they said "it's good", or did they say a bit more, like what goes through their mind when they hear that.

Oh ok. Just to clear up any confusion if there is any, by 'girlfriends' I mean friends who are girls. They basically said that if a guy has lots of girls writing flirty messages on his wall (facebook) then it's quite clear he's popular and sought after. They (the girls) reckon you can tell quite a lot about someone from who posts on their wall. Also, as long as you're quite popular (and this is where guy friends come in) then you can get away with a lot of sh1t. If you're seen as some PUA or seducer (even if that's what you are!), a sort of lone wolf, then your behaviour is not so easily excused.
