I don't have a wingman so Im wondering if it would be a good or bad idea to go to the mall alone to pick up HB's. I'm new at this.
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
Whats a good place to pick up HB's?Originally posted by Caldus
I personally wouldn't choose the mall as my first choice.

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.

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'm looking forward to hearing how it goesOriginally posted by muttley
hey dudes, personally i find it difficult when i go alone because most HBs are with a friend or two so that makes it much harder. If a girl is on her own then of course thats easier. When i have a wingman or two, its much better. But then again im not really good at cold pickups but 2morrow im out for a cold pickup day, ill try to post a field report hahahaah
peace

There are several purposes of field reports. Some include letting the rest of the community know what worked for you and what didn't, allowing you to keep a record of your improvement, and serve as motivation for both yourself and others. Not just to impress people on some internet site.I dont post field reports, who am I trying to impress, you, Pook, the guy that made this thread, diablo?
The fact that most people find this site due to their having relationship difficulties (or no relationship at all) comes with the territory. Yes, several people who come here are unhappy with their current state of affairs - which is why they came here to begin with. To dictionary.com, a "scam" is a fraudulent business scheme. Please explain in detail how you justify a free internet message board as being this.The fact of the matter is, like I just told the guy in the other thread, this site is a scam. It is just a place for misfits to come, and cry and moan, and finally find some place where they fit in, and they get addicted to this site.
Once again you make the error of assuming that the sole reason of posting a field report is to impress others. Check my comment above as to what it's really about.But, like you allen, I guess you want to keep trying different techinques and posting field reports trying to impress people in the real world and on sosuave, which honestly, is a waste of time.
Tell that to the people who it's worked for - a list that includes myself as well as many others. If you'd done the boot camp, then said it was crap then I'd respect your opinion. I wouldn't necessarily like it, but I would respect it. However, you haven't done it, so your opinion isn't worth the space it takes on my computer screen. If this website is such a waste of time there's really no sense in you coming back now is there?Bootcamps are a waste of time. Writing field reports are a waste of time. This website is a waste of time.
You're right, since with every 50 new members I get a 200% raise.The mods on this site, will not tell you how people really, and I mean REALLY , get laid, becasue they want you to come back here, to make this site a popular place.
