^Why do you assume you have to chase them?And what do you define as "chasing"?
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.
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.
For me, I assume I have to chase because it is the proactive thing to do. Without chasing, or moving, I would get nowhere. The american dream is built around chasing. Most chase their own tails, but that is beside the point.Originally posted by Tha Realnezz

Up to this point I've never attracted women (at least none I would like to attract). What other choice do I have but to approach as many women as possible? It's not like there's a parade of available HB's trouping around wherever I go.Why do you assume you have to chase them?And what do you define as "chasing"?
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.
No rejection? Man, do the bootcamp. Rejection is a good thing, I see where your philosophy comes into play, but you can attain the same degree of success when you force rejection.Originally posted by Tha Realnezz
You don't want rejection and you damn sure don't want girls who put out then go crazy within a week ...or do you?

its just a different level of the "chase"
you are a fvcking man, a hunter. You hunt, you chase.
but setting up a good trap and waiting for the prey to fall in is still hunting.
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.

wrong, but ok.Originally posted by Tha Realnezz
It's not the same thing.Screw the analogy.
Approaching random women and praying to god you don't say somnething stupid as you run game isn't quite the same as approaching women that arleady steamy or that have even already approached you.
Nowhere near the same thing.
