"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.

"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.

Just be aware that even if you do have several matches, most of them are flaky and tend to not respond to your initial contact after the event. Seems like getting the validation of getting picked and liked by many men is just good enough for them. So make sure you make a strong impression and get them to comit (in their head) to talking to you again.

Good experience for quickly sparking some interest and attraction. It will help your communication skills a lot.

I've been to one of those. 80% of the women were fat and ugly. The rest were in HB8+ scale however. So I guess every man picked hotties...
It was a waste of time and money.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Get one of your buddies to go with you and tell the chicks you didn't even want to come but you're helping your buddy. They will eat that **** up.

One time I dressed really nice and told all the chicks that I didn't want to come but the girl running the even needed some people to come because not enough were signing up so I was just doing her a favor. Got laid by a hot redhead who was there as support for her ugly friend by doing that. It helped that i happened to know the girl running the event though :cool:

"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.

Anyone know where you can find out about these events?

I considered going to one if I found one, AND I had a friend of mine, out of the blue, mention to me a couple weeks ago, thta he'd go if he knew where there was one at.

Any ideas?

I would say just act like you don't care. The other guys are trying to have nervous and boring little mini job interviews. You should be only trying to have a laugh about something. As with any c&f, a laugh at her expense is ok, as long as it is light hearted and about some trivial thing. Don't call a tall chick an Amazon or a chubby girl fat, but you can rip on her purse or shoes a little. Or make fun of anything else you find funny. If all you care about is having fun in that moment, it projects value on your part.

What's worked for me (yeah, I've done this too) is to run the interview process yourself. Understand what the event is about, conversation. The bad thing is that more times than not the majority of the people there aren't good conversationalist so unless you drive the interaction yourself it's like pushing a boulder uphill.

I say come in with some good questions. Not any of the "What do you do," "where did you grow up" boring BS either. Have at least five creative questions, nothing too intellectual but ones that don't typically come up in conversation, basically qualify her right then and there (be confident, not ****y; it'll scare them away). Here's another reason why it will work, if you drive the interview you can answer your own questions too in order for her to get to know you. This way you won't go in worrying about her asking you something off the wall that you weren't prepared to answer.

Be a man and take control. It'll make you stand out from the the AFC and make you memorable. You'll be surprised how many women say that they're interested in you, even the ones you weren't interested in yourself.

bump...I'm interested in question suggestions
What do you talk about when you're qualifying?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
