Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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
 

"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.

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

"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.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
 

"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.
