funny how every girl edger sees (**** buddy,etc) has a girl except him
Hmmmmm....................
That doesn't make any sense.

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.
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.
Hahaha. By the time you reach 70 you should be filthy rich (as a surgeon) and walking with those type of women. Think about that!PlasticSurgeon said:Meatpacking is more for the trendy high roller investment banker looking for a model. The girls look great but are extremely uptight.
If your a big dawg wearing an Armani suit, that area is yours for the taking. Places like Tenjune and Cielo are extremely elite and are less likely to let single guys inside (unless accompanied by a hotty). The Gansevort Hotel is a personal fav.
If your looking for more "chill" women, your best bet is sticking to the village or even Union Square. There are hotties and bars all over that place! All around 14th street, and NYU territory.
I find that super hot women in Manhattan are extremely fashion oriented/materialistic when it comes to selecting males. If I wear anything from Bloomingdales its like every hot woman is on my di**!
Get yourself a pair of Rock and Republic jeans, some gucci shoes, and a white V neck polo undershirt and you'll be RAPED by hot NYC women!
The supranormal hot women (hottest imaginable) are walking around with rich 80 year old millionaires on the Upper East Side. Haha, that's life.
edger said:No hard feelings, but that's actually a pretty dumb question. Think about what it's like to live in a guys shoes(even a guy who's both good-looking and has better game than the avg. guy) for a second, and maybe you'll get your answer.
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.
I go after any woman who is HOT. I don't care if she's trendy, punk rock, goth, metal, emo, etc. As long as she has a hot face and hot body, and dresses sexy. I don't discriminate based on "styles". How can you? If a woman is hot, SHE IS HOT.RickE1 said:Yeah, well, thats my definition of a sausage fest.
I'm a lifelong New Yorker and I can sympathize with your troubles. But I have to ask, what kind of women are you going after? And are you: a) preparing appropriately for the women you want and b) looking in the proper places?
Guru, I've seen lots of "slobs" in my day walking with hot women. That's what made me realize that your dress code and style doesn't make a difference with women. Sure, you might not get vibed for looking like a slob, but they can still be picked up regardless with the right game.guru1000 said:Hey Edger,
Although you may feel you are a good looking guy, you might not have the look. You are in Manhattan and are surrounded by good looking people.
The problem may be in your dress code and style. Some people here have no clue as to what to wear when they go out. This may be your problem.
If you are a good looking guy with appropriate style, women will approach you. If this is not the case, something is missing.
Read what I also posted to Guru1000 and RickE1. If these ugly guys, as well as slobs that I see can pull these hot trendy women, then there is no reason in the world why a longhaired metal-rocker like myself who's GOOD-LOOKING on top of that, can't pull them..lol.Latinoman said:I think edger dresses way too heavy metal and his hair might be WAY too long. That's not a trend look in Manhattan, IMO.
The game is there, that I can promise you. Doom me for the rest of my life with women, if I'm wrong. Like I've said before, it's not perfect(nobody's game is), but it's way up there. About 98% there.Colossus said:So, either your game really isnt better than average, you have little control over your sexual desires, or both.
Absolutely not. That's why I knew that once I made this revelation about myself, that a lot would find it hard to believe. And I understand that. It would be hard for me to believe as well if I were looking at it from anothers frame.Colossus said:This is not a problem a self-sufficient DJ would have.
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.
I'm not sure what you are refering to here. It sounds to me like you have made a personal agreement with yourself that you have some sort of intangible 'curse' against you being successful with women.edger said:Absolutely not. That's why I knew that once I made this revelation about myself, that a lot would find it hard to believe. And I understand that. It would be hard for me to believe as well if I were looking at it from anothers frame.
That's why I believe it has to do with a higher power or the supernatural(my fate/destiny, some kinda curse or whatever, or it not being in my cards), whatever you'd like to call it, as silly as that might sound to you. It's as if no matter what I do, nothing changes. But that's cool, I'm not whining about it. It's something you come to accept and deal with.
You've got it wrong there, let me correct you. I didn't say I don't get vibes from women outside the metal and goth scenes. Go re-read what I wrote in this thread. I just about equally get as many vibes from the trendy chix as I do from the metal chix. Only a trifle bit more vibes with the metal b*tches, that it's almost insignificant.Jitterbug said:IFrom his posts in this thread, it seems that he gets no vibe from women outside of his goth/metal scene and when he gets good vibe from women in his scene, he chickens out.
Hate to break it to you, but no matter how good looking you are, your style is going to help you immensely with some women, but it will completely blow you out of the water with others.edger said:Read what I also posted to Guru1000 and RickE1.

?? I'm not getting your point. I'm usually never with with a chick, that's what I've been explaining, but this post makes no sense.evelsteve said:funny how every girl edger sees (**** buddy,etc) has a girl except him

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.
But Str8, it's even just as difficult(only a trifle bit less) with the metal and goth chix who are SUPPOSED to be into the "look" that I sport.STR8UP said:Hate to break it to you, but no matter how good looking you are, your style is going to help you immensely with some women, but it will completely blow you out of the water with others.
Now I'm not about to preach about how you should cut your hair to get women (I'm sporting a quasi-rock star do myself lately) but you gotta realize that you are aligned with a certain subculture that is generally associated with alienating themselves from society, so you are going to be typecast to a certain extent no matter how good looking you are.
Well, make up your mind, since your general message is confusing. Either your "reeling them in" or you're "never with a chick" so which one is it? It can't be both. Besides if you bed women all the time, who cares about an escort you have to pay for any way (remember, you get women "all the time" for free)?????edger said:?? I'm not getting your point.

How is it confusing? I've been saying, yes, I "pull", but only from time to time. And when I say "pull", I mean getting laid. Last time I actually got laid the natural way was last April of '07. I've had 2 other opportunities that I can remember off the top of my head, one was last summer and the other was in Novermber of '07, but during my interaction with them, I realized I wasn't physically attracted to them. One looked like my friend a little, lol, and the other I realized I just wasn't attracted to her physically. But to you or anyone else, you'd probably think they were hot. I know my other buddies thought so. But I'm pretty picky, I can't help it. And by the way, one was your typical "trendy" girly girly girl, and the other was a rocker chick who dressed sexy.evelsteve said:Well, make up your mind, since your general message is confusing.

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.
