"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

exactly... but there are some exceptional girls on the street....depends on your luck..
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.

No

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.
 

"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.

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.

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
 

"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.
