It's said that women are repulsed by AFC behavior. Ok, but what explains the EMO dudes pulling so much tail then? I see it often. And might I add, many of these EMO chicks are smokin' hot.
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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
Yeah that's what I think too cause the emo trend is just their front, what happens if she or he stops being emo and starts joining mainstream normal society. But then again I know a couple 30s-40s people who are into goth still, sad.Hawke said:The question though is can these emo guys hold onto those girls for long...
Probably because he has a social circle and access to girls. :nono: I think the whole emo thing is lame and posuerish, but that doesn't make them inherently bad people (they just have bad taste in fashon and music)... you have to get to know each individual to pass that judgement. Just because someone doesn't dress like you doens't meen that they are not worthwhile to women (or others in general), nor does the fact that they are an "AFC". In fact, I firmly belive this whole AFC thing is proabably the biggest crock that goes around here on sosuave. If you've got some inherent value to women (good looking, common interests, fun, rich, etc.) AFC behavior will be overlooked so fast by all women except for the ones that have been molested and trashed-on who need a 'badboy'.MenAreBetterPeople said:It's said that women are repulsed by AFC behavior.

Hahah! "My life is... tightening... kinda like my little sister's jeans... which look great on me btw."rapless said:When in doubt, watch this video and re-evaluate the mentality of girls who dig emo guys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XEJDGLF-e18&search=must be emo
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.
