When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.

The video actually gives decent advice. Not the end-all-be-all, but I got some lays out of participating in a recreation club in undergrad.Effington said:Wow, that guy was brilliant. I feel enlightened.
PS - Please give me my two minutes back.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
LOL I was already laughing when I saw this thread, I've been trying for years and haven't got even close, so I somehow doubt there's a little magic secret waiting in the shadows. Tall, affluent, average-good looking white men take the women, the rest are just scraps fought out amongst the rest where a few get lucky. That's what I've learnt and that's what I know. The rest is just talk and BS.wutangfinancial said:How to pick up college girls: be good looking.
I bet it's because you're negative, low on confidence, and don't have style.Mad Manic said:LOL I was already laughing when I saw this thread, I've been trying for years and haven't got even close, so I somehow doubt there's a little magic secret waiting in the shadows.

I'd say those things apply to me now due to my experiences and basically giving up, but for the first two years and certainly the first year I was confident, bubbly, stylish etc. All I got was 1/2 kiss closes, the odd number and just faffing about with little interest. I've tried changing things and doing CA's, again I got to a certain level then it never progresses due to low IL. I've tried and tried but the girl doesn't show interest for 1-1 dates. I just see tall affluent white guys with gf's whilst me and my friends never get anything, so what do you want me to think?Corona said:I bet it's because you're negative, low on confidence, and don't have style.
Well, you can either give up, or accept that it's a numbers game and keep gaming.Mad Manic said:I'd say those things apply to me now due to my experiences and basically giving up but for the first two years and certainly the first year I was confident, bubbly, stylish etc. All I got was 1/2 kiss closes, the odd number and just faffing about with little interest.

At my best, that's me looking good, stylish, confident and chirpy, all I can do is get numbers and kiss closes. It never goes further, and that's when I'm at my best so my appearance and sociability is highest.
I've still never had anyone on here tell me why the girls never date me 1-1, but that's not their perogative.

Why would you want to date? I can't think of anything worse.Mad Manic said:I've still never had anyone on here tell me why the girls never date me 1-1, but that's not their perogative.

I never got any dates. I'd just chat the girls up for a fair while, sometimes get a number, occassionally a kiss close, nothing more. I've gone through spells of trying really hard and just getting nowhere. The girls seem interested but once I start to try and initiate a date it goes nowhere. Sometimes I don't try to initiate anything and they still don't want anything to do with me.Corona said:Well, you can either give up, or accept that it's a numbers game and keep gaming.
At best, you might get a date with a girl that's really into you and everything works out perfect, and at worst, you will gain experience and find out what works and what doesn't work at gaming girls.
You not being able to progress past a couple dates and a kiss close signifies some problems with your game (or a problem with the girl, on occasion). If it was a problem with society, you would have never got the date in the first place (numbers don't mean anything).
Maybe it's just a case of different places having different moulds for guys/girls as to what's considered desirable. The 'cool black guy' thing works much better in the US than in the UK. In either case, I'm neither black nor white so I'd never fit in any sort of ideals.wolf116 said:It is seriously very frustrating for me to hear you guys go on about height and race.

I honestly believe black guys have it easer.
You have other issues.
I tried that, it's not working for me... I mean I just stand there and look like a GQ model, but people just ask me "Why are you standing there and pouting?"wutangfinancial said:How to pick up college girls: be good looking.
I'm in Australia and my friend is half cast and it is not considered "cool" to be Indian or islander. They just ooze charisma and confidence.Mad Manic said:Maybe it's just a case of different places having different moulds for guys/girls as what's considered desirable.

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.

Then why can't I see them at night unless they smile?ARrocket said:Dude, Indian and Pacific Islander are NOT synonymous with black....
Also, same person in a different environment = same problems. Wherever you go, you stay the same because of trait characteristics unless you choose to make a difference in your confidence. Inner confidence & happiness = successful external projection of thy self.If you put MM in a tall, white body he will still have the same problems, just a different excuse.
