"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Brought up this date but says there was no chemistry. Obviously a **** test but how should you react when she brings it up? Indifferent?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Just told me he works for some rich guy and that he invited her to an event that is today, saw a picture on her fb. Not worried about it since she said there was no chemistry and they'd just be friends, just seemed kinda weird.

Just cheap talk, but I think she did it to lightly test you. Anything other than a smile and you're ****ed because this is simple testing LOL

This is what I have done to women that bring up other men after I have been on a few dates. I tell them to knock it off or I will spank their ass. Yes I have spanked some asses and it changed their attitude.
 

"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.

I would just ignore and go radio silent during the day of the event. If she texts you, give her the old "I'm super busy with friends right now, catch up later" and then don't respond back till the next day.

When they know you're mind games are better than theirs, they knock that shyte off really quick.

If there was no chemistry, why would you want to hang out with her again?

What do her actions say. Her mouth says there was no chemistry but that is what she believes you want to hear.

What are her actions saying? Is she showing interest in you. Is she responding positive to you.

If the IOIs are good, who cares what she says.

AKA "I dont like him like that, but I'll keep him around as an orbiter."


I'm not sure the entire context, but I would have definitely would've said something regarding keeping this guy around.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Heheh. In the past I've said he sounds like a nice guy maybe you should give him another chance. And then just stare at the most attractive girl in the room for a couple of seconds and then change the topic. If she doesn't get that hint she's too stupid for my tastes.

Just crack a sarcastic joke and change the subject.
Be indifferent about it, it makes you appear alpha, so what she is dating other men, you're dating other girls, and are busy with fulfilling your life purpose. If you start acting butthurt that a plate is also spinning her own plates, you're gonna lose.

She mentioned him and the word chemistry in the same sentence - watch out.

That's like saying "I'm not going to chop you with an axe." Makes you wonder.

Watch her emotions - she will act unusually happy or sad when she reads his texts once she falls for him. A sign of infidelity.

Regarding women hanging out with new friends, think about it - before she met you she met 200,000 people. She still liked you. She'll meet another 200,000 people and will still like you. Let her have space.

Anyhow, think she needs chemistry if he's rich?

Does this apply if your dream girl says she has BPD?

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
Clearly used it as a **** test. If you reacted, you lost, if you acted like it didn't matter , you passed. If a girl does that, but she's interested I just tell her to go, who cares in the end? It's my own test. If she goes, she wasn't interested , but 9/10 times she will not go.

"He sounds like a very nice guy, maybe you should give him another chance instead of being out with a player like me".

Nah, fairly standard when you don't play by her rules.

Don't stoop to her level by bringing up your own options. Works better to leave her wondering, and it's a petty jealousy game which she will likely see right through.

It's possible that she just gives zero fvcks, but unlikely. More likely that she is messing with you.

Best way to deal with it is by ignoring it and carrying on. If she does this enough to where it's getting intolerable, then more push is needed in the set from your end. Women are very good at sensing what they can get away with, and she shouldn't try it on too much.

In which case, ignore and carry on. But be a bit aware of the dynamics.
Alright sounds like the way I handled it was ok then. Just let her talk and didn't act jealous at all, just told her it sounds like it should be fun and carried on the convo. Not mad or anything was just weird to me, telling me about a date but also saying there wasnt chemistry.

Translation your dream girl says she's going to pull s*** and take no responsibility for her actions
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
