"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.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
So I'm heading to a show on Friday night and I was supposed to go with my buddy but he ended up backing out for whatever reason, I still want to go. Who has gone to a concert by themselves before? I paid 250$ for this ticket , VIP and all, so I don't want to just not go because I'm by myself, seems stupid. But tbh feels weird going to a concert alone.

It is at a casino and I have the weekend off from work. I was just thinking about getting hammered and staying the weekend.

Input, thoughts, etc gogogo
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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 once drove 300 miles by myself to go see my favorite band, and it was one of the best nights of my life.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Definitely go and don't think twice about it.

Casinos are actually great for "lone wolfing." Plenty of people gamble alone. So you can certainly go to a concert there alone as well. Casinos are also very safe which is good for solo people.

If you want to drink, yeah, get a room and stay over. You could even hit the bar/club/lounge later and possibly pull. A lot of casino concert attendees hit the bars and clubs at the casino after the show.

I go to a local casino alone about once per month. I check out a live band, drink, dance, and stay over.

Once or twice a year, I fly to Vegas alone too.

So to make a long story short, going to a concert alone is no big deal. Once the seats are full and the concert is going on, nobody will know you're alone anyway.

I go alone most of the time.

The music I love, the musicians I respect, it's a very private and passionate thing for me.

These days I've given up trying to talk too deeply about music, but I haven't met anyone who is on the same line as me. So I usually go alone, if the concert means something to me.
 

"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.

Going to concerts alone can be fun if you're reasonably sociable. I only added my response because I noted that some people mentioned gambling and Vegas.

I went to Vegas once several years ago. Prior to this I never really had any desire to go, but part of the trip was being paid by someone else, so why not? I'm not into gambling at all, so that might have had something to do with it. I was there for 3 (or was it 4?) days and the first day or so it took me a while to get used to all the blaring ads and the general assault on your senses from all the stuff going on walking down the strip.

Getting to the point, it wasn't until like my last day there I figured what the hell, i'll bet maybe $50 on some blackjack. The dynamic that happened next was completely unexpected, but after I'd been there for a few minutes, more people started joining my table including a couple of hot (HB6 & 7) chicks. I suspect people do this because the roam the floor looking for some action from someone whose been there. What's even more interesting to me was that the environment at the table itself works wonders for opening with people even if you're not sociable because that environment creates a sense of common purpose between all the players. You're all trying to win vs. the dealer/house, thus you've already got something in common. Before I knew it I was congratulating the hot babes on their win or they were offering a tip to me whether to stay or not. Escalation from there is a no brainer; you'd literally have to be braindead to not be able to kino and escalate.

After that experience I'd have to say I'd like to go back again, but I'd say keep the visit to 5 days at the most. It does start to wear on you after a while.
