"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.

Last weekend I was at a club, and a knot of four girls pushed up next to me. Laughing, talking, whatever. One of them, I don't want to call her overweight but she was definitely overweight for my taste (I like the waifs, and she was corn-fed with child-rearing hips, not my thing) was asked by an HB8.5, who was exactly my type: "So, no more Peyton, huh?"
"No," says Corn-Fed. "Looks like he found some b--ch who'll suck his d!ck. Better her than me."
"Ahem," I said, addressing Corn-Fed. "You don't suck d!ck?"
"Excuse me?" Corn-Fed turns on me. "What did you say?"
"I couldn't help but overhear. You said you don't suck d!ck?"
"No," she shook her head. "I don't. Gross."
"Hmm." I picked up my drink, said, "Excuse me," and then slid around her and stuck my hand out to HB 8.5. "So what's your name?"
HB 8.5 just stood there, her eyes and mouth wide open, trying to speak, and her friends nearly died laughing. Except Corn-Fed. "F---in' men," she said.
I turned to her. "That's what it's about, sweetheart," I told her, and articulated very cleanly, "F---ing men."
When the smoke cleared, I got HB 8.5's number and email. We're going out tomorrow night. Without Corn-Fed.

--------

Yeah, funny story. Thing is, I made a whole lot of right decisions in those few minutes. Here are some of them:

1.) I didn't use any profanity that Corn-Fed didn't already use.
1a.) I called B.S. on the offense she indicated in her opening engagement with me, and I did so by repeating exactly what she said.

2.) I opened the conversation with a relevant statement.

3.) I hadn't heard HB 8.5 use profanity, so I didn't use profanity with her. I implied, through my introduction, that I was curious whether or not she, in fact, sucked d!ck. And also I implied that she may not be good enough for me.

4.) C&F for the mf'n WIN. HB 8.5 told me in an email that her friends were riding her all night; that was the first time since they'd known her that she'd had nothing to say.

5.) Confident as all hell.

6.) Verbal judo. Turning a derogatory "F----n' men," into an imperative statement. This is about you, f----ng men. And adding the "g" to the end just to pound it home a little more.
6a.) Taking the aggressive, c-ckblocking b-tch of the group down a peg, and then sticking around to do it again if she came back with something.
6b.) No fear.

7.) I can use a common reference to fellatio in conversation Friday night. :D
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Crash,
That was money. It's awesome when you have a night like that. As if the stars were just all lined up for you, and you couldn't Fail if you tried. Hats off to you Sir. Good post, good ideas, and even better implementation.

"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 think the key was your complete absense of fear. F&*kin awesome!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
