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.
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 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.
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.
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'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.

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.
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.
