"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.

I just got a new cell phone. It's one of those with the sh*tty camera built in. I heard about a 4th of July college kegger that sounds pretty cool. I was just thinking that an EASY way to get kino is, after talking to a girl for a few minutes, pull out the phone to take a picture. Then you can put your arm around her while taking the pic of you two.

I just wanted to see if anyone has tried this or what you guys think of this idea.

Also, a lot of my friends are not seeking girls that actively, so I might be going to this kegger alone. Are there any tips on things you need to do differently going to a party alone?
 

"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.

well, being a computer engineering major would explain why your friends dont actively seek girls. trust me bro, I am a software engineering student, and collectively, we're not the coolest bunch. :D

yeah, i've got a camera phone but the camera is actually very good (Samsung E700). It does help as something to validate kino, but if you are doing it right, kino should need no validation. It should just be something that you do naturally, like talking or walking.

you end with a number close since you already got your phone out, and you come to ss and post the pic

“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.

Getting the number seems like the natural thing to do since you have the phone out. Would it have to be a closing though? My ultimate goal in doing the bootcamp is to get ONS's. I want to try for a make out session at the party if possible.

So you are saying it is as easy as:

  1. Chat with a chick.
  2. Take her picture with a camera phone.
  3. Ask for her number since your phone is out.

I dont like flashing a camera phone around..but sometimes it does help you out in the convo. Last thursday at a local bar, i saw a group of 4 chicks fooling around with their cam phones. I just went up with my phone, and fluffed around..and oh mines a Nokia 6600..so pretty gud qlty.

I did # close on two of those chicks.:D
 

"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.

I think it's kinda funny though using a phone as a prop. It's just because I haven't carried a personal cell phone for many years. There was no such thing as a phone that could do anything other than call another phone back then. :p

But through an onslaught of requests from friends getting upset with me because I'm never available since I don't carry a phone, I've been contemplating taking the plunge. I'm a bit keen on the Motorola Razor v3 but I'm not crazy about signing up for a two year contract with Cingular.

So here's a couple of questions for the masses;
  1. What do you guys think of T-Mobile as a service provider?
  2. Would it be worth buying an UNLOCKED version of the Razor or wait for T-Mobile to carry it which may be anywhere between the end of the summer to the end of the year?
  3. Where would be the best place to buy an unlocked Razor? (J&R, eBay, local cellular store)?

Out of interest, how do you go about number closing more than 1 girl in a group?
Are you like 'I'll have to take your numbers' to the whole group (ie not showing that you're interested in any one of them in particular) or just to the ones you're interested in? Or do you number close them separately (ie when they're not with the rest of their friends)?

Camera phones - useful for checking you didn't have the beer goggles on the night before

Yeah, I've looked but I haven't found anything other than a device that costs $180. It seems the Razor isn't like a Nokia where you can download software to flash the BIOS to unlock it. At least no one has created or released such a program yet.

Yeah i just signed up to a new phone with heaps of new stuff on it, and stuff i could never do before on other networks, its LG and says it can't be unlocked. I also got a new number as well. I will have to update it in my profile. ;)
 

"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.

Well, I've had my Motorola Razr with T-Mobile for about a week. Not too bad, haven't had it when sarging though, I've never had the need for it but I think I'll play around with some of the suggestions that's been posted about using it while on the hunt.
