"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Rememer the creed of sosuave "YOU ARE THE PRIZE" I'm glad you put up that video because i've been trying to find it for the longest on tv and craig did do a good job just not a great job
 

"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 2 chicks at the end were just 2 girls in the crowd watching the show. A minute after he got rejected he just walked over there and grabbed them for the camera and they played along to be on television. I notice on elimidate when people first meet the girl they're drooling over them, and then when they get rejected they're all sour grapes.

classic

Craig's frame was perfect. the other guys always leaned in, and pushed to sit next to her, while he always sat with a guy in between him and the girl. he turned his head to listen to her, but didnt turn the rest of his body to meet hers. excellent

he was entertaining, and waited until the perfect time to pounce with something funny to say to bust on the other guys trying to gain her approval or make stupid jokes.

very good

"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.

Ugh. I can't even sit through this. All of the guys just pointing out where the other guys messed up is horrible.

Yeah, the guys ragging on Craig all the time, so funny. Although it was agonizing watching the bickering on those shows. Whenever a guy does something sweet or whatever, they're always like "What a dh!!! as if you would do that!"

He used to post here under the name Vassago if anyone wants to search for his posts.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I think the runner-up had no game at all. All he had going for him was his looks. He embarresed himself. He got AMOG'ed by Craig when they were sitting in the sofa at the club and he kept qualifying himself to the girl. Always bragging. He was a moron. Without his looks he couldn't get a girl if his life depended on it...

Craig wasn't great and some of his techniques backfired, but he had it covered from the beginning.

The tall, goofy guy was hilarious on the dancefloor though. I felt his pain :D Bambi on ice..

My favorite part is when Craig gets the champagne and the girl, Jennifer Korbin, asks him a question. Craig completely ignores her (maybe he didn't hear her).

I think if Craig wasn't as good dancer as he is, and the tall rock guy was more coordinated, the outcome might've been different.

The other thing is, a lot of the date was cut out. Usually elimidate takes place over a few hours, sometimes an entire day, and it's cut down to the most entertaining 20 minutes. Maybe the producers cut out some of Craig's jokes to make it seem more balanced.

I saw Elimidate as following the MM to a degree.

A1 was where they first met - so when Craig establishes himself as the prize with a DHV ("YOU don't have to be worried" - genius line) he's using an affective opener which craps all over the others.

The rest of the Elimidate was A2, female to male attraction. Jennifer was choosing guys, so DHV was very important. As was frame setting. The other guys jumped into her frames, which was dangerous.

THe weakest part of Craigs act was the "travel the world liek James Bond..." - that was Speed Seduction. And that stuff only works in the Comfort zone. Given that Eliidate is A2...no hope :p

Good job he was a **** hot dancer - made her completely forget about the fluff ups.

Did you notice that right at the end Craig shifts into A3 - he compliments her on something other than her looks, then throws in a little C+F. ("Good taste in men")

Textbook stuff. I think he was nervous not because she was a playboy model, but because the credibility of THE ENTIRE PUA COMMUNITY was hanging in the balance. Considering that, I reckon he did a damn good job.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
