"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.

Last night, me and a friend were talking about the extreme negative connotations associated with the phrase "pick up". In essense, it basically implies a one-way exchange, like you somehow won something. Also, it get's subconsciously related to "pick up line" as well, inferring all sorts of cheezy styles in your game.

We were then trying to come up with some phrase, that means exactly the same thing mechanically, but implies the 2-way exhange that happens with 2 people reach date-stage.

A few of the ideas floating around were phrases like "connecting", or "linking", ie; "So, did you link in with anyone last night?"

This may seem overly pedantic, but when I'm around people who are basically just AFC's, saying "pick up" and "hook in" means different things to them. And it doesn't reflect the effort I've put in over the last 18 months.

Thanks for any input you guys might have.

Do you have nothing else to do but sit there and make accusations about people over the internet?

How small of you.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"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.

It's got nothing to do with political correctness. We were just thinking that "picking up" has way too many negative connotations, and that maybe we could come up with a new phrase that does justice to the game.

But fine, if no-one wants to be helpful, then lock it.

I'd rather be out talking to woman than sitting here wasting time trying to think up new phrases for the dating game.

Lordy.

Fine, you do that. I have a couple of hours free time to do some uni work in before my classes this afternoon, and I was taking a break for 10 minutes. Honestly, I remember this forum being a lot more friendly. Wtf happened?

Incorrect. The DEFINITION of political correctness is using alternative words to avoid negative connotations. This is exactly what you are doing here.

I can't believe I've posted in this thread twice...
