"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.

Do women notice/judge you on your social skills with other people?

Don't know if anyone here would actually know the answers to these or not...

Do women notice who you talk to? How many people you talk to? How many people you know and know you? How many people you say hello to? How you talk to people?

Just something I was thinking about...
 

"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.

Yes, this is all very important. Women want men who are strong and confident, who are proud of who they are (not the same as arrogant), and who other girls and men enjoy being around. Men who do these things will have lots of friends and will talk confidently to anyone. Women notice this and it is a big part of social proof that women crave.

Do women notice who you talk to?
Well it all depends on how often you see these women. If they're co-workers or classmates, then yeah, they do. And it's not just restricted to women.

How many people you talk to?
Yeah, sure. Think about it. Don't you notice the social butterflys and, on the other end of the spectrum, the loners at work/school?

How many people you know and know you?
Well, classmates and co-workers probably don't know the exact details of whom you know and who knows you (unless perhaps they are keen on you and what to find out more about you), but they can tell if you're the isolated type or sociable type.

How many people you say hello to?
Again, they're not keeping tabs, man! They won't have a log book and take note of every time you greet someone. Like I wrote above, they just have an idea on what end of the social spectrum you fall under.

How you talk to people?
Yes, everybody notices this. You can discern over time the grouches from the happy people, the snobs from the level-headed, the confident from the bashful and the socially ept from the socially inept just from WHAT a person says and HOW the person says it.

Social skills are one of the most important skills to have. Without them, most people will live pretty isolated, depressing lives.

"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.

Well, my job throws me into the fire, the thick, of social interaction. Daily, I'll meet/converse with 70 or so people. However, before this career I was a cooped-up programmer in the back office for a cellphone company. It's good for me to be in a social career, because I'm NOT social otherwise. I really can't stand people most of the time. Women, in my circle, KNOW how social my job is, and by that knowledge ALONE, they want me. I consider myself NOT sociable, but women will Stamp me as "sociable" because they know what I do, and who I meet, and because of that, I'm somehow "high status."

I catch them looking at me from across the room while I'm talking with just about anybody. That's ALL they care about. Who this, who that. Fvck em. They're all hoes.

Social proof is magic. I really can't say enough about it - it's among the very most important things you can use to land a highly desirable woman.

Most women aren't really going to be paying that much attention to you unless they already know you. But yes, if they already know you, typically they will notice how well you interact with other people in general. The more comfortable you seem in your environment, the more comfortable they'll be with you.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
