"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.

How do you do it when you are already labeled as the beta male? Do you just pick on the alpha and beat him with your wit?

thx in advance!
 

"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.

To be the man, you must beat the man. Beath the alpha, and you become him.

Take control of conversatins between your group, neg the alpha and always make yourself look like your having the most fun in the group. Make the group revolve around you.

By doing exactly what I said above. Neg him and take control over the conversation. Earn his respect.
 

"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.

That, and be better at stuff. Even better if you become better with motivations besides being alpha. Do alphas even try to become alphas or are they just alphas?

This is risky stuff:
Mostly you are a member of a popular\semi-popular group. If the alpha will feel threatend he will atack back and most likely you will be laguhed of the other members of the gruop and you won't be invited to parties (if the current alpha is "strong" enough).

BUT, if you don't challange the alpha but just take control of the group and treat the alpha like a beta and show some leading skills you can take over the group.

REMBER:It's not easy and if you will do it stuipidtly you will lose you rank but if you will do it right than you are one step close to be a DJ.
