"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.

I only check this board for the stuff A-Unit writes now. Substance, insight, breadth and unique views.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I like A-Unit, becuase he always brings something new and unique to the table. Rollo cracks me up with what he says sometimes, but he is always right.

Westcoaster is starting to grow on me a little as is MindOverMatter

Definatly can't leave out Star8up, does a great job covering investing and in all honestly, I never would have given Real Estate investing a second look if he didn't shove it down my throat every other post :) JK.. but in seriousness I am looking to invest in some real estate pretty soon and I owe it to his stubborness to drill it in our heads
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I actually just wrote this in a different thread concerning the bootcamp I'm about to go on, but a few acknowledgements of DJs that really saved my AFC back from oneitis these last few months via PM/email:

Joekker113 (man living with virtues as a knight)
SeldomSeen (introduced me to the 48 laws of power )
Backbreaker (two words: end game. I'll never forget that...)
Rollo T (explained my misconceptions of goal-state myth, falacy of one, desire dynamic and plate spin theory)
WestCoaster (helped me out with analysis/paralysis)
TrimReaper (personal break up story)
The Anti Dr. Phil (taught me chess tactics analogy to dating/kaiser soze methodology/behavioralism).
So pimp its scary (inner game goals)
A-Unit (awesome book recommendations bro!)

Overall, Joekker113. I really was bummed when he bounced from the board, because he wrote some great thought provoking threads. He saved the day via PM immediately when I was about to quarrel with my ex and the punk sailor that stole her away from me in the LDR I was in. Long story, but a lot know about it here... Thankfully that **** is over with and I'm sarging w/o a drink gaining confidence every weekend now, the DJ way. The tables are definately turning thanks to the help of the awesome DJs here. The board has really changed my life dramatically in the last few months.

First of all:
English is not my first language, so please be gentle with me...:rolleyes:

So, the poster who most definately had the biggest influence on how I look at the world was/is Rollo Tomassi (might also be because I enjoy reading the mature man's forum the most).
Most of the time his posts were dead on and one can draw a lot of wisdom from his texts.
2 thumps up for this man! :up: :up:

Also I'd like to add, there are lots of good poster with interesting ideas on the sosuave boards!

I swear A-Unit has a mini libary in his house. He can probably make a nice profit renting out books. I have some books but DAMN

I don't really have many favorites, other than myself:p, but I like anyone who doesn't post crap and posts good, consistent stuff.

I guess two guys that come to mind are Solid and Shezzler. Both these guys encourage FRs and for people to go out and get expereince, and I personally know that that is the best advice someone can give to anybody in order to make them better.

But just for fun, I am nominating myself, wavejams007.
