"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.

I'll say 2-3, but that might even be overkill.

Personally I've never met a quality girl at a bar (except that one time in Austin of course). And I've certainly never met a gf at a bar. I still go sometimes though; I use it as motivation to work out (I just feel better at bars when I'm in shape) and to meet new people. For me the social circle game aspect is key; not picking up women.

If you don't go out that doesn't mean you're at home on a date with your right hand. You could be doing other things, like watching movies with friends, and this could actually be better than getting smashed and being hungover the next day.

The PUA believers will probably go a lot more than this because they play the numbers game.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Right now I'm going out about 4-5 days a week. I'm super motivated to change myself and improve my game that I am putting in a lot of work. I figure if I don't go out, I'd be at home on my computer, and nothing will change. If I'm going out at least there is a chance I will meet a girl, if I stay at home then I got zero chances.

They don't play the "numbers game," they play the "getting-proificent-at-hollerin'-at-women, " game.

If I could afford the time, money and energy, I'd be out every f*cking night. Far better than sitting at home crying and spanking one out.

But more realistically, as often as possible. My favourite nights out right now are down the pub, playing pool and roulette with the guys. After that, I might head to a club or call a plate.

Last night, I went out with 10quid (let's say 15-20 dollars). I had a couple of games of pool, won another 10quid playing roulette which paid for my beer and pool = free fun.

Get out there. Live your life. Coz one day you'll wake up half dead.

Sounds like you enjoy the bar/pub/club scene. Not everyone does. There are other things to do besides drinking, some far more interesting.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yeah it's funny how approach anxiety comes back like a mofo if you stop nightlife gaming.

I'm more or less retired from the game. I was at a bar last night to see a live band. This lady was looking at me. I couldn't even open my mouth.

But back on topic, when I was very active gaming, I would go out twice per week. Three max.

I agree entirely dude. I suppose I am rekindling my youth. Spent most of my twenties beta-ing around in few LTRs and being at a woman's beckoned call. In my late teens-early twenties, I had an alpha mind-set without even realising it.

Now I guess I game women while I'm out, I don't go out to game women. And I'm probably having one of the most successful times of my life so far.

When you're out having fun, not matter where you are or what you're doing, you're in your element; you are relaxed; you are happy and confident. When women see that, they will always gravitate your way by themselves, cutting the entire angst around 'the approach' right out of the equation.

Going out to game women adds a subconscious element of expectation; and therefore the potential for failure. You risk coming across as a try-hard unless you are a well-rehearsed gamer, which generally doesn't really work with high-end British femmes. You gotta be natural. May be foreign chicks are different.

However, variety is the spice. And I do like to engage in more than just drinking and gambling.

As a foot-note: don't tell a girl she's dressed like a wh0re, even if she is.

It doesn't work. I tried it and went to my own bed. Alone.

Everyone is different. Some people prefer the night game setting others the daygame.

The key is to find what you ENJOY and stick with it. You need to have fun because thats the energy that others will pick up on.

If a guy wants to get very good at meeting women. I'm talking being able to close a new good looking girl once every week or two, he needs to be going out at least 3 times a week. Momentum is everything, guys complain about getting AA after not approaching but it's expected, being sociable is like a muscle, it will atrophy if left alone.

Once you have that skill, it won't leave you, yeah you'll have a rough patch but your dry spells will be weeks rather than months at a time.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Agreed. You're not going to meet 9's and 10's sat in your living room unless your name's Hughie Heff. You wanna meet people, you gotta go outside.

I stand by the philosophy of learning/re-learning to be sociable and have fun first though. Trying to learn/apply game technique before you can even talk to absolute strangers that you don't want to f*ck is the same as trying to ride a bike with no training wheels from the outset.

I like to go out Friday and Saturday nights because that's when the best looking chicks are out in my town but I can't really afford to do it. When I drink I go too hard and it ends up costing me about $75 a night.

75 X 2 X 4 = $600/per month.

I think that's a little too much for me to spend out drinking. BUT if I could afford it I would go out Thursday, Friday and Saturday plus I'd hit happy hour at least once a week. What can I say, I'm a lush. :rockon:

Mate.... I got a mate just like you. Spending 75bucks a night out. Sh*t man, go for a few on Friday, stay a bit sober to practice game-playing, call it a 20dollar night and save yourself a coupla ton a month for a holiday and more energy for ****ing women on Saturdays. Having said that though, I live up to my means every month too! :crazy:

I'm definitely gonna need to make some changes about going out. I've tried to pre-drink and that seems to help a little but once I get swept up in the good time party vibes I starting slamming the drinks. I blame my friends, they're just like me, we all rack up sizeable bar tabs!

Funny thing is, I HARDLY EVER buy chicks drinks, that's just my drinks costing me $75 a night. And I don't even live in a big, metropolitan city where they charge $10 a drink. Oh well, I have a ton of fun just need to watch it.

1-2 if you're a professional, I'd say.

I like having 5 days a week focused on my career, exercise, and hobbies. Toss a date or two in the mix on weekday nights.
 

"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.

Try gaming chicks at the club sober. It's an enlightening experience.

Then there are guys like Tyler from RSD who don't drink and advise staying sober. No buying drinks and hitting the clubs six nights a week. I bet the clubs love that, lol.
