^Why do you assume you have to chase them?And what do you define as "chasing"?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
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"?
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.
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.

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.
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.
