"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey all, i just recently decided to take on the bootcamp since I've never done it and Im working on my 50 hellos. What I've noticed is some girls don't say hello back. I tracked my stats 6 girls said hello back to me, 13 didn't respond in any way. Do those 13 still count towards the 50?
 

"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.

Nothing in the bootcamp is really set in stone. What I did with the hellos is I made *any* hello I initiated count. Anytime I said hello regardless of the response, I was putting effort into improving myself.

Another thing I did which I saw in another bootcamp was I didn't include people who work with the public (cashiers, salespeople, etc). Basically, these people's jobs include interacting and greeting strangers. You pretty much expect them to respond rather than the typical stranger.

There's two things that the first week helps you overcome: shyness when it comes to approaching strangers and rejection. Some grumpy bytch didn't say hello. So what? Everytime I didn't get a response, I laughed. It's just funny when people are so unconfident and unfriendly to bother responding to you.

Its really up to you. In my case i didnt count some hellos because i said them halfassed or sounded too weak, so the person didnt hear me. However, if i said them with confidence and with a strong voice and the person didnt say hello back then that counted. Remember thats its not about their reaction, its about how you feel about it.
