Hi Duke. Just wanted to say I think your journal is really cool, and it sounds like you are becoming quite the ladies' man. Keep up the good work!!
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.
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.
the one on the first page where u fluffed up the pick up for the girls that were working and Don Ronny gave you the lines about i read in the Times that working is bad for you and there is only one way to cure it.Originally posted by Duke

Bloody hell, it's my British buddy JSH! When you said "revision," what were you referring to? And what "angle" do you intend to use? You got me curious. Don't leave me hangin'! [/B]
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.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
hahahhahahahhahha Duke your the Fvckin man. With clubbing I think your objective should be more along the lines of getting them to dance. That way you can grind on them in your sexual state and get them horny. When there horny you should try to get them alone by any means.Originally posted by Duke
Me: Hey, either one of you want an extra straw?
UG: Why would we want an extra straw we already have one.
Me: Uh... you can sip your drink twice as fast.
Thanks PP! To most girls dancing doesn't mean anything, and besides that, I'm a better talker than I am a dancer. My lips will weave my magic, not my hips. I do believe, however, that dancing is a good way to get the chick away (haha, I don't want to say isolate cuz I feel like a fukking ax-murderer) from her friends.Originally posted by Peter Parker

As far as the b/f thing goes you guys need to be careful. Chicks are fvcked up I’m sure for half the beef in my neighborhood there’s some gyals behind it pulling the strings. If the girl is throwing herself at you sure Why the fvck not. But if your pursuing really hard just think that she might be using you as a test to see how much of a tough guy her b/f really is.

Thanks, Wacky-1! I see you have good taste! *rubs chin*Originally posted by Wacky-1
Duke,
I gotta hand it to you bro...this is one HELL of an inspirational thread you've got going here.I'm sorta new here, but I know good stuff when I see it.
Could you gimme a hand here and elaborate about this "sexual state"?Or is it the one you referred to when you were walking or talking slowly?I get the stuff about you approaching cos of balls etc, that's kids stuff.But I'm losing you on this "sexual state" thing.Could you explain?![]()
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.
