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.
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.
From my experience, YES. Cold approaching is for loser and what it really show is that the guy is so desperate that he has to hit on every girl he see. And real men are not desperate and do not need to play that game because the girl comes to him. ;-)ssj245 said:Isnt it scary/weird to approach random girls on the street or the mall and ask them for phone numbers, you can only do it if your in a situation for rapport, and make a connection and then ask for a phone number?

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
lol speak for yourself, cold approaching is by no means for losers. Your telling me that if you seen "your" hb9.5 walking down the street your not going to approach because its wierd? you rather join a social circle and hope someone in the group is hot or just staying in the clubs trying to game hb9s who won't give you the time of the day or only party girls with a few non party goers. How is a PUA lifestyle shallow, because most of the great PUAs have multiple gfs or cause there game is super tight to pull girls that they end up only approaching 9s and up? I respect your philosophy even though i may not agree with it, thats just me and were all different in our own ways. Also how does it show that your needy? if it did show that you would be getting blown out the set before you even opened out. I'm starting to think you've barely even did any cold apporaches to even realize whats going on and how to effectively pull, but then again your not out there to learn you just want "that one girl".theSpeculator said:From my experience, YES.

I've done a few cold approaches in the past and got the number easily. But I never cared about the girl. I've discover that you get more success if you genuinely like the girl and have your self-esteem developed enough to be able to act like a man when chatting with her. I gotten my self-esteem so develop that I can approach any girl in a relax manner. But then I realized that I don't need to cold approach every girl I see to get a date. Because I had so much confidence in myself every girl became attracted to me without me having to do much. LOL. Basically, the whole thing is pointless because your problem lies inside you.
Also don't make the mistake of becoming a PUA because it is a shallow lifestyle. My philosophy of Don Juanism is this: I only want to be good enough so that I can get the one girl that I really like and want. I don't care about screwing nor do I want to screw a 100 girl every week. I rather have one good girl that a 100 bad girl. nuff said
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.
