"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

I've definately improved my mindset and my actions and I no longer act like a nerd anymore but rather a relatively cool guy and outgoing.

But here is the problem: Everybody in the school sorta knows me but I rarely talk to the popular kids, yea, because I'm sorta intimidated by them.

Right now my friend group is a bunch of people who are averagely known but unpopular. I would like to hang around with the popular kids in my grade but it seems like I have no opportunity to talk to them; eg, I don't have same classes with them ironically.

If I just walk up and talk to them I would look random and weird...

Is there any approach to talking to the popular kids? I really wanna get close to them because all popular kids hang around with other popular kids.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You need to befriend one of them. That will be your ticket in.

You wont be able to just jump in their group and be well accepted. You need to be approved by one so he can give the "your a-okay" to his buddies.

What are you intimidated by? They are nothing. They are humans just like me and you.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

When I was still in school I remember befriending one of the popular kids. Then I remember overhearing him talking to the other popular kids "Hey, Cashew is actually pretty cool...."

From then on I was in and was able to move up the rest of the way on my own.

Befriend one from outside of the group, and when you've got him, you're in.

Yes I am friends with one of the populars (we played table tennis together once) but how am I suppose to befriend other popular kids? It looks weird if I just step in to them and have convos right?

I've got him, but how can I be in cashew?

How does it look weird? Your just trying to make some friends - how else are you going to do it?

Run game on the popular friends, I was in as soon as the heavy kino started
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

yep, Game works on everyone, of course your not going to be sleeping with the friends, but you can still use some of the thing game teaches to meet other people.

ie. 3 Second rule, indirect opener, and all that bs, just dont go into kino, and fvck closing and you should be fine

Just said this cause you said you got in as soon as the heavy kino started. Figured using kino on guys wouldn't exactly work out. I get your point, however, just messing with you.

Why do you want to be friends with the "popular" kids so badly? They're often times the lamest, most boring, most insecure bunch in the entire school.

You can be "cool" without selling out and compromising yourself.
 

"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.

I don't get it, why's hanging with the popular people so important? I thought being a DJ was about doing whatever makes you happy, and if you have to rely on gettign a specific group's approval to be happy ...then that seems wrong. You can't really just base your personality on who you hang out with (although unfortunately high school is all based on who you hang with- but fvck that, I'm not gonna hang out with lameass people just so I can get some poon). Just be confident and outgoing and [hopefully] the chicks will come to you.

screw hanging with the popular kids, do your thing and be the Don Juan. They'll be the ones to flock to you. Be the leader not the follower

in all honesty, ull realize this after high skool, your friends define who you are, and they like and love you for who you are. Ditching them for "popular" friends is a slap in the face

ah, the good old problem that plagues most of us before we come here. We'll I'm gonna lt you in on a little secret. I was in the same situation as you not long ago. I spent my fridays and Saturdays sitting at home playing xbox live. Spent the weekdays and sunday studying for all of my advanced courses. I wanted to be popular but, was intimidated. No, I felt more of an anger against them for making fun of me, taking all the girls etc.

Then I found this site.

Over time I've learned, improve YOURSELF, do not throw away your identity for a new one that will ultimately fail. You said you made new friends. THATS GREAT! Get to know more people, the more your friendly with the more popular you wil be.As for fitting in with the actual popular kids. Just act as if your cooler than them, and your doing them a favor by letting them hang wit you. Have them over to chill if you want, but dont act like their dog. You got to make it look like the populars could benefit from you if you want them to pay any attention.

Now as you think it is very important to be popular. Girls pay a lot more attention to guys who have great personalities. Work on that first.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
