"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 don't always care enough to do it, but if I do I won't do it to my friends.

NOTE: By AMOG, I'm specifically referring to a situation where someone is trying to game a girl and you're also gaming her yourself, making it harder for him to do so. There's a difference between being an alpha male and being the Alpha Male Other Guy, IMO.

"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.

I only do it when the group I'm with are having a problem making a decision. They're not usually arguing but just confused. That's only 20-25% of the time. That includes times when they appoint me the leader; everyone needs to pull their weight. :D

Thinking in terms of alpha "being done to/by me" comes out of an unrealistic belief of what constitutes a modern-day alpha male ( no offense, I am not trying to 'AMOG' anyone).

To me being 'alpha' isn't something you 'wouldn't do onto others', because being alpha means *giving* value to the group. Taking charge and making sure all have a good time, reading people and being inclusive, and so on. If one adopts a positive attitude and becomes a cool guy, he 'AMOG''s all the guys by a powerful presence. DO you think Dr. 90120 or some nerdy guy who decides to 'AMOG' him is more likely to go home with a hawtee?

OTOH, associating with 'cool guys' will make you seem cooler by association, and they will tend to rub off as David D claims because we tend to become more like those we spend time with.
 

"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.

if my friend is trying to game a girl and he got to her first, i'd talk to her a little but i wouldnt start trying to spit harder game than him or something.

with some of my friends we tell each other which girls are ours and the rest of us will lay off a little.
