"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.

Is it better when looking for women, is it better to walk around the mall all by yourself (loner) or have like a wingman or a group of friends? I mean I been thinking that if you go places all by yourself wouldn't the woman think like "wow he's such a ****in loner dont he got friends?" and blah blah... what do you think? I have a thing with being alone.. Like I want to go to Fun Factory but I'd feel weird going all by myself lol...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Just like fighter pilots having a good wingman can save your life. For DJs having a good wingman or wingmen can save your night. Having a wingman or wingmen can make certain situations a lot easier on you and cut down some obstacles.

I second that...Wingmen can be crucial in many settings... you go to clubs and you see sets of 2,3 and even 4...a wingman can increase the odds you can isolate and dj one of the targets...of course at a bookstore or store being by yourself is fine....

I also agree, a GOOD wingman can be a blessing (though make sure he knows what a wingman is, i could tell some stories)...

but don't worry if you are alone, it shows real courage to go up to someone when you're alone (no moral support), and most women won't immediately think you're a loser, especially if you have the guts to go up to her. Guys w guts have friends.

Yeah, worrying about whether approaching alone will be perceived as creepy, is the wrong thing to do. Think about what helps your game. Does a buddy give you an extra little push of motivation? Personally, I have the most approach confidence when I'm with AFC friends. It's like I'm performing for them and impressing them with my balls. Kinda lame, I know but effective enough to help me get into the practice of cold approaching and giving me experience with using canned material and making shyt up on the fly.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

The mall? wtf... thats your self conciousness eating at you man. Heaps of people shop alone... The mall???? Come on dude, you know theres nothing wrong with it. I walk around the mall all the time by myself, check out shops, make random convos with retail HB's... Hey! they will even initiate it cos its their job!! lol

As for clubs/parties/social gatherings.. Social Proof is GOLD!
Totally agree with dementia on this one! **** man, you're not a chick, you don't need to ring up 5 buddies to come shopping with you, WTF that's what chicks do when they shop for shoes. I usually go shopping alone, I don't waste my time with shops, I get what I need and I'm out. I don't think anything of going out to the mall alone coz there is nothing TO THINK about, nobody thinks nothing about you when you go out shopping alone, when you see people out in the mall alone do you think "Wow, what a loner he must have no friends..." If you think that you got some issues.

With parties/clubs I think it's different, most people go out with friends to those, going out alone to those are boring! My best nights of going to clubs with mates is when I wasn't trying to pick up!

You're worrying about what other people think of you. That's insecurity. When you go out and do what you want to do, not worrying about the people around you, that's confidence.

What the hell does it matter what a complete stranger thinks about you? Chances are you'll never see them again in your life. When was the last time you heard a woman talk about one insignificant guy in a mall who was walking around by himself. Have you ever heard a woman say, "Man, this one guy at the mall was walking around by himself. He was such a loser!" Hell no. Women go to malls to spend money, not talk about people they don't know or have never met.
