"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.

I think that cold approaches are stupid and pointless, and they dont work. I mean honestly how many girl does a guy meet by just walking up to a stranger or in public that he has no connection or common element with.

You need to be sitting down somewhere or be in a classroom or be somewhere that brings people together like a club or a bar.
 

"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.

The secret to a cold approach is to realize that you have a common element with someone you've never met, even if they don't realize it. For instance, that you happen to be within 20 yards of someone and are sharing environmental stimuli. Sometimes the easiest commonality to establish is a sincere interest in the other person. If you have to rely on a pretense to create your opportunities, you're going to be impotent when there isn't one so readily apparent.

By the way, the answer to your question: Every single one.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Well

I dont want to go everywhere and try to talk to everyone I see just in the hopes of meeting a very attractive girl. I mean that seems like a hell of an effort to try and talk to every chick you meet, and feels desperate.

That my whole object everytime is to try and talk to 50 chicks so that maybe one will say yes. That seems afully stupid.

I mean everytime you see a girl you have to overcome the fear of rejection and psych yourself into talking to somebody just to hear a "No"

Its just like the situation with economy, the people with more confidence keep getting more and people with less keep getting lesser with each rejection.

How about this: "I'm trying to get to point B, but I don't even know where point A is, are you from around here?"

"Been waiting for a while? Where're you heading?"

"Just leaving work/school?"

"Pardon me, You don't know me, but I'm from Las Vegas and I'm scouting for showgirls..."

"You know, I swore when I got my Porsche I'd never ride the bus again..."

All of these are just icebreakers. You can strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime. All you have to do is crack their initial barriers, and you can go exploring from there into what you have in common.

It sounds to me like you've tried a few times and failed and now you don't believe a cold approach success is possible at all, no matter what anyone says you come back with some negative comment.

Believe it or not. My last one was very successful. I got the number. I was scared sh*tless though. I can't keep pushing myself, I go crazy putting so much pressure on myself to talk to strangers.

I want to relax and not feel like my manhood is on the line everytime I see a chick walk by.

Plus Im not that creative.
 

"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.

Its exhausting to have to psych yourself up everytime.
Then don't. Go in with a super relaxed (don't give a shít) state and talk sweet nothings. This aint no job interview.

You don't always have to see it as an approach.

For example walking next to someone on the street..who doesn't have "fvck off" written across her forehead lol. Just say hello, or.. hi how are you.. lol Make it a conversation, than at the end say well it was great meeting you, give me your number and we'll finish this conversation later..


you think to much amigo.

Nonsense! Some of the most favorable, refreshing, and spontaneous pickups and sucesses are acheived by off-the-cuff cold approaches.
It pleasantly surprises the target and flatters them immensly. DO NOT discount it!!!

i prefer to meet girls through friends or something, i'm not gonna just see some girl on the street and go try to pick her up when she's in the middle of doing something.

cold approaches are stupid. i mean, walking up to some random person? at least know something about them before you go talk to them.
 

"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.

Well it does depend on the situation.. but if everyone met everyone through everyone.. it had to have started some where lol.

Of course the persons body language has to be welcoming, and does depend on the situation.

Yep..

I think dudes that can pull off Cold approaches have so much confidence. I'm so stinky at cold approaches on the street that I make the dude from Napolean Dynamite look like a supa-playa!

Look up the user Self-Mastery. He got some hot girlfriends by cold approaching.

You're right, it is the most annoying way to go, though. Better to be out doing as many things as possible with any group you can join.

You've got to back off and simply work on talking to people, both male and female. Make the mental shift to take a genuine interest in the people you meet. Do not expect a payoff other than gaining practice and experience approaching people with confidence.

I have met and fvked many girls from cold approaches. You are not doing it right
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
