What was your initial motivation in becoming a pickup artist (as in dedicating time and energy researching it to get serious about it, not just natural biological desires for sex, ect.), and more importantly, how did you maintain that motivation?
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.
Great question...Evzone said:What was your initial motivation in becoming a pickup artist (as in dedicating time and energy researching it to get serious about it, not just natural biological desires for sex, ect.), and more importantly, how did you maintain that motivation?
For next time please follow the guidelines to asking questions. It is stated on page 1. Also guys this is the last day you can ask me anything so get those questions in.thecurtainfalls said:Speer,
In the past I have noticed that proximity is one of the most reliable IOIs you can get - in general, if a girl was making an effort to be around me, meet me at my place, texting me during the week, etc... she was usually signalling that she was ready to be seduced. I have had big success simply grabbing my nutsack and making a move in these cases. After all, a girl exhibiting those behaviors at the very least is well into the comfort phase of seduction (given that I've projected a sexualized persona around her consistently).
My question, though, is this: what about a girl acting like that who is currently dating someone? My personal situation with one of the girls I'm currently gaming is that since we've hooked up in the past, there is definite mutual attraction, but she has this AFC boyfriend now. However, she still exhibits tons of IOIs and makes ALL the effort to call me and set up nights to meet up throughout the week for a drink, etc. This hasn't been going on for too long because I'm afraid of slipping into the "friend zone".
But I would swear, if I got the same IOIs from a girl who wasn't taken, I would be plotting my rapid escalation and getting ready to close. The situation is confusing me -- I've always maintained a sexual state around her, and we have hooked up in the past, but timing and me entering an LTR with another girl kind of kept us from ever actually fvcking. She must still know that I want her, right? And since she is making a huge effort to be around me (alone on weeknights), the attraction is probably still there on some level on her part, right? Or do you think she simply sees me as a non-threat at this point?
How would you proceed in this situation (both morally RE: attempting to get her to cheat) and game-wise (interpreting the IOIs and finding a good way to close her)? I should mention that her BF is the nerdy type, the very definition of AFC, and that she has a very social, bubbly personality that seems very incongruous to his.
Any insight is appreciated, I've found your stuff quite useful.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
