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.
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.

I always have a few choices, but when I really feel like hitting on a girl and take her home I'll do it alone.
Personally, when I'm in the mindset of just trying to pick up a girl i prefer to be alone. And if I do go with friends, I'll try to make sure we came in separate cars so I don't get the "bros before hos speech" lol
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.
I agree 100%.bigneil said:When you're traveling for business you have no other option, and the women won't mind, trust me. A good wingman helps they're rare. The average friend makes matters worse and if it's 4 or more guys together then forget it.
Sometimes I say:Mike32ct said:I went out alone like 98% of the time.
It's the only way, unless you have a really good wing which is hard to find.
The only drawback is the dreaded "Are you here by yourself?" question. I don't have a solid reply for that. Sometimes I lie. Sometimes I tell the truth.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

"My friends just left to hit another bar/club, but another buddy of mine might swing by here later."
OR
"I'm friends with the bartender so I'm just hanging out."
Don't think I've ever given an honest answer to that question so far. But going out alone really is the best way to game. More freedom and more privacy. Also, no one to judge you on who you take home. Anything less than a 7.5 and you have to deal with ball-busting.
Casino bars. Ages 21 to 91 lol. In all seriousness, it's a wide age range.yyc12 said:What type of venue do you guys go to? Only things I can think of in my city are the night clubs for 18-22 or pubs where its mostly people going in groups to hang out. Kinda out of place as a 30+ to be going to either place alone.
If you're just looking for ass then 18-22 is the perfect age! That's prime fresh meat right there! Easier to impress and more naive.Mike32ct said:Casino bars. Ages 21 to 91 lol. In all seriousness, it's a wide age range.
Or a bar and grill place EARLY in the night say 5pm to 9pm.
Hotel bars/lounges are also good for a traveling mature man.
But your local bar or club on fri/sat after 9pm? Way too young for me.
The pubs you describe remind me of a classy bar I used to frequent. You need to frequent one or two of those places and become a familiar face to the bartenders and local patrons. I went to that bar solo to watch college football games and drink, not to hunt for women. Every now and then I'd introduce myself to a new couple or group and chat them up (make myself known). Apparently the menu was pretty good, I wouldn't know I never ate there. Their beer selection was phenomenal though. I could take any female I met elsewhere to THAT chosen bar and then back to my placeyyc12 said:What type of venue do you guys go to?

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.
