"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.

I had some reponses to my online profile, I talked to some women for for some time over email (3-10) emails... but, nearly 99% of women bail on me in a very weird way when I suggest to meet:

Me: Lets get together....
She: Sounds good.....
Me: XXXX would be a good place to meet..
She: yeah, why dont you call me at YYYY?

I called at 9pm and 10 pm, after a day or two again at 9 and 10pm., she never picked up the phone and never return my message. After a week I wrote her "Hey how was your weekend?"
She: fine... I am sorry I was busy blah blah..feel free to call me, ..
Me: Ok, I'll call you after 9pm on wednsady
She: ok.
I called her, and she didn't picky up the phone.
NEXT..... (but why??? why her IL dropped so low??? why she gave me her phone number when I didn't even askd for it and then she din't want to talk?)

Another woman:

Me: Lets get together......
She: Sounds good......
Me: XXXX would be a good place to meet..
She: yeah, that's nice.

But she didnt confirm the date, and didn't reply anymore.
After a week she sent "Oh I was busy... travelled to YYY for work"
Me: Ok, Lets get together......
She:...never replied.

What the heck is going on? What do I do so wrong that when I attempt to meet her, her IL drops so low that she gradually
disappear???

Any advice how to improve it?
 

"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.

If she's not answering the phone at ALL for you, maybe her IL wasn't as high as you thought.

Yea it's too dangerous for a girl to meet a guy online and they know it. They will be thinking "what's wrong with this guy that he can't meet a girl for real?" And to be honest, you should be asking the same question of them.

Bro, you should be meeting most of your women in REAL LIFE. If you really wanna use online for pickups, keep the ratio at like 80% real life 20% online.
 

"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.

You're first mistake "Why don't we get together?" Desperate desperate desperate!!! Give her a reason to want to pick up the phone. If a chick writes me on some dating site, match.com for instance, I will immediatly read her profile. Then when I write back I mention something about her profile in a humourous way. For instance, if she writes, "I like Reeces Peanut Butter Cups" I might write back, "Oh so you're looking to get my chocolate in your peanutbutter?" But you have to judge her sense of humor by her profile. That response might harbor negative comments from the lady you're trying to write.

And where are you supposed to meet women if you move to a new city and barely new anyone there? Unless you do 1000000
approches on streets... well, online is a place to find single available women.
How many approaches you have to make to get a date? I estimate it is about 500-1000 unless you like similar to Brad Pitt.

Well, you're quote of 500-1000 is what I'd expect if I was doing pickups while chewing on some dog turd.

For a date, sometimes it's like 3 out of 5. Sometimes maybe 2 out of 5 or something.

It's not that hard man.

Remember, before about 15 years ago, the whole internet thing wasn't around(ok geeks, I know it was, but not like it is now). And guess what? People still hooked up!!!! In Real LIFE!! Can u believe that?
 

"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.

you become extrememly self confident...to the point where ur sure of ur self about 95 percent of the time..or higher.

once you do this...it will all fall into place..but to many guys here are about 20 percent confident..instead of Self improvement..they improve there out status not in status!

you cannot always control whats around you..near as much as you can control ur inner game.


you say 500 pickups and you get a date?


it shouldnt take you more than 10..unless u run into bad luck..then 15.

:)

good luck

and try myspace.com

if your looking to hook up online.

and dont ever say **** about the online hookup..just do it like its normal..when u meet her dont act all nervous or talk about how this is wierd..just be a pimp..and it will take over..quik

No way! :))
Well... here is statistics from week1: approx 50% of women just smirk in return to my "Hi" or "hello". Approx 20% were just scared sort of judging by her reaction. that leaves about 30% who didn't mind to say Hi back...

Online out of 200 emails I got less than 20 replies. Guess how many dates? One. and this when all online women are single.
In real life not all single...so the ratio should be even higher than 1 to 200.

15 years ago, women were not earning that much and were eager to meet men. Now it all chnaged, they don't give a sh*t about average looking guys, they have money, so now they want only hot guys.
I have read abotu some guys here who had success. Now I am thinking it was not due to their confidence or great pickup line...
it was mostly about their looks.

Anyway, can anyone share the success ratio for real worl approaches, i.e. approached 100 women, got 10 phone numbers, and most important - went to 2 dates - as an example.

Probably you are right about 10-15 for you: I am 30 and in my age range (25-35) there is not many women who will date a date who a) approach her on a street b) who do not earn big $$ c) or at least who do not look like Brad Pitt.
Girl in their early 20 are single mostly and love to go crazy and party. Sure, if you can offer her some hints about that... she'll go out with you.

Anyway, what is you ratio? 10-15 approches for one date?

There is absolutly nothing wrong with meeting people online. I do it all the time.

Don't listen to these fools. After all, your ultimate goal is to meet them in person anyway, isn't it? So there's your real life. You should always take every opportunity to meet new people whether it's live or memorex. Those people who skip one way because they think they're too cool to meet people that way are just missing out.
 

"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.

So lets get practial: when it is tim eto get her from online on a date what do you exactlky say to her?
"Lets get togther"? Do you always call her before the first date?
At what time do you call her? How many times per day?
