"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.

True or false? Just being happy and outgoing attracts females towards you?
 

"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.

No, it doesnt attract women, but it is an attractive trait, because its usually means you're suceesful (got enough money, have a good job, can handle problems easily etc). Its defintly more attracting than being sad.

The thing you mean is probably confidence, not hapiness

I think they mean both. You can have confidence but be in a normally angered state or perhaps you have a "lack" in your life whether money, opportunities, etc...

It will be more attractive to be confident AND have a good life where you don't have a lack, and you are generally actually happy because you are living so well.

They will want a piece of this too especially if they don't have it on their own.

The keyword here is outgoing--of course that's going to increase your opportunities to meet a woman who's attracted to you. And being happy will allow more people into your life, some of whom will be women that may or may not be attracted to you.

But as far as innate attraction, I don't think happiness matters at all--as long as you don't burden other people with your negative emotions. I'm more of the dark, brooding, quiet type; no issues here, still have to approach, but I let the girl invest in my world if they want any meaningful access; and keep them working for those moments when I am happy--and there's something to be said for that as far as frame control and intermittent reward. Plus I don't have to put in effort to keep up my state or keep them entertained. If you're the 'happy' guy how is she going to react when you hit a rough patch? How do you maintain congruence in that kind of situation?

If you're going to walk around disillusioned and mopey all day you had better be a hell of an artist or musician
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Happiness is probably more attractive than sadness in general. So a happy person, all else being equal, will probably be more attractive. But all else is certainly not equal. It's not nearly that simple. There's plenty of sad people who have attractive personalities, and happy people who are just the opposite. Other factors have to be considered. Some people here have brought up confidence. That is definitely a big one to consider.

Exactly.

Ask yourself this. Would you rather be happy and unattractive, or unhappy and attractive?

If you answered unhappy and attractive, you probably... aren't very smart.

Just sayin.

Happiness attracts women as long as they've got an interest in you.

Hell, everything attracts women as long as they have an interest in you!

Happiness is a result of how you're doing. If you're doing good then you'll feel good and act good. That's the real test here from women, to determine wether you're mostly like that or they just happen to catch you on a good day. That's the congruency test. You could have a brief period of happiness and women may become attracted to that in the belief you do good things, that's what they're really after. However if you sink back down in a short time as your reality comes smashing down they leave, because the truth about you would be that you don't have it as good as you acted.

So sure, happiness attracts them, that's not the hard part. You'll attract them and then eventually lose them. The real challenge is to create and sustain happiness for yourself, because that will keep them attracted forever. You won't be happy just out of nothing and so you will not attract women out of nothing. Happiness comes from work towards being happy and being attractive is a result of it.

Basically it means if you put your time and energy into making yourself happy you'll attract women.
 

"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.

Men who know what they want, who believe in themselves, and have the will to go after it an stick to it are attractive to women.

Men who are happy, good looking, and rich have certain advantages, and long as you are authentically one or more of those is a definite plus, but none of that really matters if you can not use those traits to improve your sociability. A good looking rich guy will eventually fail with women, if the guys is a @ss and no one likes him. A man that has lots of friends and people who like and respect him will always win out.... happy does not always mean that.

A really happy guy that loves his life watching porn and playing Xbox is not going to be attractive to women.

Study up on the concept of "emotional contagion". Happiness is a huge advantage with initial attraction because she will feel what you feel.
