^Why do you assume you have to chase them?And what do you define as "chasing"?
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.
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.
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"?
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
