"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

There seems to be a lot of things covering how one should go about complimenting women, but how would a DJ receive a compliment given to them? I've only got one standard line and thats when a girl says something to the effect of "You're really cute/ i like what you're wearing etc..." I'll generally come back with "Yea, i get that a lot". More often than not it gets a little laugh... but how would a master handle compliments?
 

"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.

Respond by rewarding them for being nice to you, "thank you, you're really sweet/ you have a great taste in fashion" but dont tell them "yeah I like what you're wearing too". No. You have to make her feel good for complimenting you, so you must reward that.
Something that Mystery advices is to respond with "You're attracted to me", but I use that when I receive a criticism instead, works just as well.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Say 'Thank You' and smile. Nothing more
AGREED

Please, if they are sincere and meaningfull don't ****y/funny them. If you are both in a fun and playfull mood then it's ok. However don't make fun of her when she is serious. If you aren't joking and having fun when you say 'I get that a lot' you are just going to look like a d!ck.

A secure man knows how to take a complement. All it takes is a thank you.
