"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.

Do DJ's agree or disagree with this? How DJ-friendly are bookstores?

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/books/12/23/bookstores.dating.reut/

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Looking for a New Year's Eve date? Check under fiction at your local bookstore.

According to a survey of 1,003 New Yorkers aged 25 to 35 released by American Express on Wednesday, the bookstore chain Barnes & Noble has the best singles scene in the city.

Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said she was not surprised.

"We've actually had requests from people who have met in our stores ... asking if they could be married in our stores," she said. The chain has hosted a number of weddings, she added.
 

"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 bet Pugsley_f5 would agree.

I think it's a safe non-intimidating, cosy, friendly zone. It's not surpirising, since most people are comfortable there.

I guess soon, when u tell someone: "I'm going to a bookstore", they will interpret it as: "You're going to find a lay".

Much like I go to the gym to workout, i go to the bookstore to read.

In neither place have I attempted a pickup. But i should probably.

I love bookstores, tons of subject material for spontanious conversations. It's also good to get to know the ladies working the coffee shops in the stores too. Women patrons tend to notice you chit chatting with the women behind the counter.

I totaly disagree. I've tried this and the women there are usually feminists or nerds. the most you can get is a HB7
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You're right, only ugly intellectual feminazis read books in bookstores. So where can one find attractive, submissive, mouth breathers?

Well, feminists and nerds need some action every now an then too. But of course, they just arent worthy of your time, because they are only HB7

It's the same principle as the rest of society. Just look at what she's reading, and then say something funny about it; "you dont seem like the type to read that" or "you know, i read that and i thought...(something ridiculous even if you've never read it, she'll figure it out)" or "do you really believe in that kind of stuff" or some sh!t like that.


Just an icebreaker like that, and then drop one of these: "i'm here pretty often and i've never seen a girl like you shopping here. I thought i would come over and take a second to see what you're like" or something similar. Then it's just like talking to every other stranger.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

bookstores should start selling condoms. Better yet free condom with every purchase.:D

I disagree that bookstore is the best place for pickups. Like the guy above me said, the best u can get is HB7.

I haven't had the best luck with religious women. The ones that I've come across have been somewhat self righteous about their religion and not very receptive to other views. However, I'd give it a go with a Taoist or Buddhist.
