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.
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.
great link -- pretty much answer many of the questions i had...GS750 said:
Willard said:I used to always have two cars, one a 4-5 year old Toyota or Acura and a Corvette or Porsche. I would always go on the first few dates with my regular car so the girl wouldn't be seeing me because she thought I had money.
Now I just have one car a 2008 Infiniti G37S I bought a few years ago, I get complimented on it often from my dates, and none of then asked what year it is. I drive it because I like it and would buy another if I wrecked it.
Women usually don't know much about cars, so If you buy a 4 or 5 year old Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar for $25-30, they will most likely be very impressed, I would suggest you keep the Camry to weed out the gold diggers and then show them your nicer car.
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.
Keep us posted. Let us know what you buy and how it helps get some.icantgetlaid said:it looks like i'll start the car shopping.
backbreaker said:This. This. This. This. This. 90% of women do not know, do not care what year your car is. If it has the right emblem on it and looks cute they they you have money.
My wife drives, or drove as i just bought her a new car 2 weeks ago, a 2003 Mercedes clk convertible. i'd take her car out and women would always be oh that's such a cute / nice car.
You don't even need a NEW car. Get a 2007 Lexus ES350 or something like that. it's a 11k car and will get you a ton of *****.
Exactly...BMWs are amazing, but they're also kind of bland to the average Joe who can't recognize grill shapes/headlights/silhouettes of vehicles. Most girls wouldn't know that you had a BMW until they saw the logo on it. That Veloster is way more distinctive and polarizing, hence all of the attention. Miatas, Minis, 500s, Beatles, etc are what really get the average girl's attention. I actually like the current Beatle turbos...bigneil said:I got a Hyundai Veloster Turbo with every option for $25K and only pay $300 a month. More girls have complimented me on it than the BMW M3 I drove for 17 years prior ($700 a month on average, first the lease, then the upkeep). Don't waste money on a car.
I'm going to do a what a lot of people here are not doing and simply give you a straight answer without addressing whether or not it reflects on some kind of insecurity you may or may not have. Yes, it will help you get laid. All these guys giving you this "do it for you, bro!" are really fooling themselves.icantgetlaid said:I drive a 10 year old 2006 Toyota Camry even though I could easily afford a brand new luxury car. I make $100K but have lil to no expenses, and only have to take care of myself (single).
My Camry, for its age, is very well kept (engine & body), runs perfect, and is an otherwise decent looking mid size sedan. It easily can go another 200K miles.
Back to my question: in terms of picking up better quality girls -- how much would, say, a 2016 sporty BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Lexus type car help .. and would it be worth the $600-$1,000 extra a month ? I'm weighing the pros and cons of conserving/investing and driving a fancy car to improve my chances with higher quality girls.
I'm currently dating ~5s but trying to improve myself to get that number up to ~7+
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
A nice car that you LIKE to drive improves the DJ's perceived quality of life. Quality of life is something all of us are attempting to improve whether we like it or not.mustfirstregister said:How much would a brand new sport/luxury car improve my game?
If you have game then why do you need a brand new car?
If your game is at beginner's stage then having a new car could get you dates, even a girlfriend. However I wouldn't spend the money on a car because it gets devalue.
^^^GS750 said:Just food for thought. 04-05 Porsche 911's can be had for a relatively decent price with low miles. The nice thing about Porsche's is that they don't change much year to year. 98% of people can tell the difference between a 2004 and a 2014.
I made a typo in that post. It should say 98% of people can't tell the difference between an 2004 and a 2014. Unless they are into Porsche's, they sort of all look the same. But they are timeless. And they are sexy cars.HeadLightsOn said:^^^
Very true. A nice 'exotic' car does make a difference to chick pull, but I still agree with most posts here - buy it for yourself. The nice side effect is getting extra chick interest. Then you have to convert that IL to gold.
Porsche IMO is one of the best value for money top level cars. Make sure it's mint and looks great, don't worry about mileage or year. If it's older, tell the truth - it's a 'classic' Porsche![]()
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.
Cadillac, huh? You do your pick up at the retirement home?Espi said:I drive a Cadillac CTS and it helps. No question about it in my mind.
Love BMW's and if you go that route, I suggest a new or pre-owned 650.
