"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 was re-listening to David DeAngelo's Mastery series and he mentioned something about women dressing up hot to compete with other women rather than trying to attract guys.

I figure this would make a good opinion opener:

"hey let me ask you something, do you think girls dress up all hot to attract guys or to compete with other women?"

If she says to attract guys, say "well what about the girls with boyfriends or husbands who still dress up all hot, I don't think they need to or want to attract more guys.."

If she says to compete with women say "what about those girls who dress in like low cut pants and stuff... I doubt they want other girls looking at their ass.. besides what are they competeing for anyway.. wouldn't it be the attention of guys?"

If she says both say "oh really? Thats an interesting take. Where do you fit in?"

Then if she is dressed hot you can also add "and what bout your [insert clothing thats hot thats he is wearing], did you pick that out with the 'I'm gonna make all the girls jealous with this!' mentality or 'i wanna make boys stare'? Or were you trying to kill two birds with one stone?"


What do you guys think?

**NOT FIELD TESTED YET**

I am planning on going out with my wingman sometime this week to field test this one...

Well I like to run things by people before I do them sometimes cause I can usually improve based on people's feedback. That way when I do field test it I'm field testing the best possible version.

youre going up to a stranger and asking them a question, my opinion is

that if a member of the opposite sex did that to me, and i had no inerest in them, and they wern't great looking, id be thinking "wtf, i dont care, bugger off"

but. if they had shown interest and i had shown interest, then its probalby a good opener

or if no interest has been shown and you are an attractive bloke, then it may also possibly work

just my opinion

lol...

The whole idea is to get a conversation going with a stranger... without being like every last guy who tried the same feat with no success (i.e. saying "hi im whatever, whats your name?" or "nice shoes")
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
