My question to some of the college guys: How is macking different in colllege than it was in H.S.? I know it does give some examples in the DJ bible, but what can you guys say changes in when you get to college?
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.
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.
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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Yep I agree totally with that.become a social, cool, outgoing, laidback sort of person, and it won't matter what the environment...you'll do fine almost anywhere
Can't you get your ass kicked after class for acting like thatOriginally posted by I'm Joe Dirt
I am a loud person, so I will walk into Accounting class for example as a few people are there already but not the prof on a Quiz day (including some HBs) and say something like "We're having a quiz today!!! OMG arent you guys excited?! I hope we get some calculus questions, you know, just as a change of pace. Oh and I hope they toss in some vocab words. 'Accounts Recievable'. hehehe So *turning to an HB* whats your favorite vocabulary word?"
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
though i never really had trouble with going to parties...that's a really neat idea for expanding your social circle.Originally posted by BrotherAP
just introduce yourself as the guy who knows everyone and where all the parties are. By the end of the day, you will be telling the truth because you will have 100 new phone numbers, if you want to. Meet the people likely to throw parties, and let them know proudly that you have the phone number of every hot girl from here to timbuktu, and that you're the man to call to combat the dreaded sausage fest. You can do this all over campus, in all of your classes, in the cafeteria, at the local hangout. Just let everyone know you as the guy who knows everyone. Never again will you have such an oppurtunity.
i didnt go on a single fvcking date that summer, i didnt want nor needed too... for one, i was way too busy with school and working out... I basically just went to class, worked out, studied a little, then went out and partied... I went out 4-5 times per week (started in june ended in august). I went out with girls that I made as friends (went to movies/shopping/studying) in summer school which probably helped with social proof (they were hb7.5 and hb8 and cool as ****... didnt hook up with them b/c 2 of my "new" friends were with them). Me and like 8 other people basicaly ran that summer session though which helped A LOT. Like everyone would wait in the dorm lobby to ask us where the parties were and they would follow us to them... its funny, one time like 10 of us went out to a party and thought it was lame and that there was a better one down the street so we left... and about 20 other people followed us there, it was ****ing hilariousOriginally posted by I'm Joe Dirt
By hook up with 13 do you mean you were able to go out with her somewhere or you mean you got action from all of them? And what happened to all of them????
Because what I noticed is its easy to get people to go out for coffee or lunch and have it not mean nothing. Once I asked out a girl if she wanted to go for lunch with me and during our lunch I found out she was in a relationship and had a kid.
But thats another difference between HS and College. In HS when you "ask someone out" you are assumed to be bf/gf where as in college going out with someone doesn't mean much and many girls even hot ones who are taken and would never sleep with you won't hestitate in hanging out with you for fun if they have nothing better to do.
