"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

stop being a sheep. If that's your style go for it. If you like thay look that go for it. If your doing it because some PUA does it and you believe he gets chics...and it will help you get chics, LAME!

Be your own man. Develop your own stye. Think for yourself.

its kinda both,i like the fact its different and makes me stand out and mystery in another life reminds me of my self with his father situation. i know it wont help or not help me its simply coloring of the nails. the true game doesnt lie in the coverings of a man but the depths of his soul.

I agree with warrior74, it's a style thing that may not be for you.

Does doing this "peacocking" in this manner suit your style, personality, and the rest of your appearance? (think about that last one especially-if the rest of your dress doesn't compliment having something like painted nails, you're going to look silly).

Here's really the most important thing to take away from peacocking, IMO. You'll get attention, that parts not that hard. Some of it may be good, some it may be bad. But with either type of attention, you need the confidence and game to back it up. IOW, be prepared for under the breath or direct comments in a disapproving manner (especially from men, and some women), and have the game to deal with it, and know how to handle them without being made to feel silly or be upset. Likewise, if you attract positive attention from a woman from peacocking, you need to be able to quickly move forward from there. IOW, it's just a means of setting yourself apart from the crowd and a way to start conversation, but in and of itself, won't do anything for you.

I wouldn't do it for two reasons. One, it's not my style. And two, it can back fire as being seen as "too metrosexual" or a desperate plea for attention. There are more subtle ways to accomplish your goal, IMO.

Also, be honest about what you're trying to accomplish here. You absolutely do care what other people think, or you wouldn't be consider this in the first place.

guys that wear a lot of black are just more attractive to ladies. i know this is a generaliztion, but I would love to see an experiment where one guy experiments with a preppy and a bad-boy look. I can almost guarantee you that he will spark more interest in females if he looks bad ass.

I personally think the black fingernails is a bit much, but if it fits ur personality, go for it. Usually, black shirts, shoes, watch and hair will get a lot of attention.

I think this is a little different than peacocking. I mean, if you wear something ridicolous, like a spaceman outfit, ur probably not gonna get a lot of good attention. lol. for certain reasons, females like the dark clothing.

one last point, this tip may sound like a small detail, but it made a huge difference in my game. dont overlook it.

I don't disagree with your comment, but like MooseGod said, I am not sure where you are getting the impression that females see this as a sign of "toughness."
Most of the guys I see in my area doing this look like the 120lb "artsy" or "goth" guys, who even if they pull if off without looking like too much of a tool, are about the last thing you'd look at and think of as a bad ass.

I left this out of my original post, but since you're from L.A., I guess I will mention it now. The perception of doing this may depend on where you live. Obviously, in the midwest where I live, it's a completely different scene, and though you guys got all the hot women on the coasts, I can honestly say I am glad I don't have to compete in the arena. Anyway, living in L.A., you've got more competition out there, with people trying to do things to make themselves stand out all the time, so it would probably come off as being a little more acceptable.

It would be much harder to pull off here, and you'd probably turn a lot more women off with this move, than on.

Wohoo, I painted my nails black, and I got chicks. That's such BS, and it just doesn't matter. Do what you want. Do what you like.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yeah, painting fingernails is kind of weird in my opinion, but I guess if you want to do that hipster look crap, go for it...

Obviously you're going to get better impressions if you dress in nice, dark clothes as opposed to preppy yellow sweaters and striped rugby shirts (which I personally think are just disgusting), but if you're taking fashion advice from Mystery, then...stop.

For what this worth-

Do you wear any type of jewelry? Rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc?

Back when I was younger, gold was in. And it was (and still is expensive).

Now, gold is pretty much out, and you can go to stores in the mall and get cheap cosmetic jewelry to accentuate your wardrobe and personalize your expression, and chicks really dig it.

Two things I stumble across when doing this (quite accidentally):

1- Most guys don't bother to wear jewelry, and women ALWAYS notice it, comment on it, play with it, ask to see it, etc. Good for conversation and gives them the impression that image is important to you. I highly recommend it.

2- I've always been most comfortable wearing rings on my ring finger, even on my left hand (yes, like a wedding ring). Now mind you, they don't look like wedding bands, but after a few minutes of conversation, it always get their attention and sparks a comment. What's really weird about it-and vaguely creepy-is even though it's clearly not a wedding ring and I tell them I not married (of course, sometimes I will tease them a bit with this "Why, does it turn you on?"), most of them seem very intrigued by it. I guess it's right in line with theory about preselection-that a "caught" man is caught for a reason. Whether or not they end up believing that I am not married, they usually react in a very coy and curious manner, like they are suddenly more interested.

Something to think about.

If you paint your fingernails, please do us a favor and never return to this site again.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I think black fingernails are not a major factor in picking up women, lol.

Mystery certainly has his own persona, and while it works for him I don't think it's something everyone needs to run out and do. Also remember that Mystery inflates his own success rate and often uses "Plants" to make his results seem more spectacular than they otherwise would be (no slam on him, I'm sure he's good, but unfortunately no one will ever know to what extent due to marketing stunts and bragging rights).

So I think the problem is that you might trick yourself into believing that the black fingernails are going to be the key to success, then when that fails it will be some other thing next, then some other thing, and a year later you will have some lays but you might also be zero percent closer to being a secure person who knows he is attractive without all kinds of silly stunts.

A man who paints his fingernails... Hmm. Not very attractive.

The only allowable excuse is that he was drunk and/or getting silly with his SO who was "pampering" him. This is alright.

Otherwise, stay away from the polish.

But to answer your question... To me it tells me he's a follower and might be confused. To some it might signify brooding and darkness, an anti-establishment sentiment maybe. But like I said, to me it screams follower and possible loser.

Ask yourself the question of what will super hot women think of a man painting his nails.

It works for mystery cause he is actually copying Chris Angel his magic idol. Uhhh you did know that Mystery used to be a professional entertainer and magician didn't you?

He also hunts in hollywood lounges where rock stars hang out and if you dress like a freak then you must be somebody important.

It works for him. Just cause he daddy probably beat him too doesn't mean it will work for you dog.

I believe the goths are into that type of feminization of males also.

goddamn yall are having a field on this topic.
 

"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.
