"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

Week 1, Day 2

Did better today than i did yesterday, i got about 8 hi's and i'm guessing 15 or so ec's. The ec's really make me feel confident since so many people avoid it.

I need to work harder on getting more hi's with less chokes.


Got another exam tomorrow so i'm off to bed

Week 1 Day 3
So today i actually did eye contacts... today was a much better day
i didnt count any bc it wasnt all perfect (ALL Perfect Eye contact,smile, and hi)...
i gotta work on the smile tho...... well ill only smile at chicks.(i just nod at guys). But it seems weird cuz i dont want to smile at a chick i dont like.. and then her think i like her.. u know? Maybe if i do one of those lame half way smiles :p ? so they know im just being polite but not interested?

but anyways today was much better than monday and tuesday.
unfortunately i only have tomorrow and thursday left for this week(since i cant go out on weekends)... so ill have to get in those smiles and hi's and start counting.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

yesterday night, 5 hi's

Going out tonight up to Berwick for a while. hoping for 5-10 and eye contact is easy for me to give but hard to get.

Also I smile at myself meaning I smile at anyone. who cares what others thought because I am always happy. If they have a problem with it, tough sh!t!

Total 29

P.S. this is tough not having a license for a car but I think I will manage. Just have to be fun and creative with it.

My update:

I have about 12 hi's so far. However, some of them were in the mall where clerks worked (does that count?). Most of the time, if I say hi to random strangers in the store, I got no response. O well. I'll pick it up more tomorrow and Saturday.

One on One, isn't the goal to make eyecontact and say hi to 50 people, rather than GET 50 hi's?

Week 1, Day 4

Yeah, the goal is to say 50 hi's. I didn't get any today, unfortunately so I'm stuck on 4. I may have to extend week 1 because I've been so busy.

Dudes, I will try and say this nicely...

FVCK BOOT CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just go to a bar/club where there is the highest per capita of tail anyway and open set after fvcking set after fvcking set. You will never get over the Approach, but at the very least you'll become somewhat inured to it.

It'll be around 200 sets when you feel you have some butterflies, but all you need are a few sets that night to warm up for the real thing. That's sets with 2 to 10 people, guys or girls. If you're under 21, get a fake ID. Hot girls congregate to these areas for a FVCKING reason whether they admit or not.

Field Experience is KING.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Ok well... I would say on Monday/Tuesday I had maybe 10 His and maybe atleast 20 eye contacts around school and in the mall and gym.

I started a new job at a hotel where i walk around all day and am doing all kind's of hi's and smiles and eye contact. I would guess I did maybe 40-50 today, if not then tommorrow I will certainly crush the goal.

My question is does that really count? Or could being so comfortable talking to people as my job not count? With over 300 employees in the hotel I figure I should talk to as many people as I can and figure em out.

You have a great idea with working through 200 sets at the bars/club. Might be even better if all those approaches aren't just limited to that one location. I think taking out those 200 sets/approaches would make for a great post bootcamp experience...perhaps we could call it "Bootcamp graduate school"

I think your view on bootcamp is a result of your misunderstanding of it. The purpose of bootcamp is to take someone with no or little experience (AFC) and help them become a DJ. It's also good for people who want to brush up on there skills.

Not only does it take baby steps, but it stresses the fundamentals of DJing which are very important, and it also has articles from the bible which help at getting people in the right mindset.

Any how your suggestion would most likely be a huge leap for someone with little experience , but the idea is great and i'll take the challenge and do the 200 sets for a post bootcamp experience!

"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.

Week 1, Day 5

Another crappy day of only 3 Hi's. I found the perfect spot for doing this first phase of BC, but chickened out for the most part. I'm at a grand total of 7, whoop dee do. Definitely not giving up, though. I'm going to be out of town most of the next two days and busy so I doubt I will make much more progress. I'm not going to advance to Week 2 until I finish Week 1 though. I'm thinking of it more as Level 1 so there isn't really a deadline (although I'm not going to be satisfied saying 1 Hi for 50 days, of course!).

I am definitely sold on the partner idea. I plan to head out to Reston, VA to finish up this phase of the bootcamp so if anyone in Northern VA or even MD is interested, hit me up. I'm 22 so please be at least 18, and hopefully closer to 21 or 22 so this can work.
