"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

just focus on making them feel extremely comfortable around you while you socialize with them.

how to do this
- don't try to impress them
- be extremely genuine (go in wanting nothing from the interaction)
- pay 100% undivided attention to them
- feel very comfortable yourself around them.

its crazy how powerful this is. This is what I've been focusing on at my job recently and I close customers at a crazy rate because people feel super comfortable around me. This triggers all their positive mental mechanisms to say "yes" because they trust me and like me immensely

I don't think this works around females because they're basically a mutant subspecies and none of their behavior works based on any logic but at least you can make friends very easily and have great success at work if your job is based on sales or relationship building of any kind.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Of course this works around females. When most guys become completely socially inept before a woman who's even slightly interested they really appreciate a man who can just act normal.

Acting differently to women is one of the major reasons they get turned off. Acting indifferently like it's just a normal comfortable situation makes everything easier, including women.

hmmm


in any case, when I focus on just that, I find that people like me very much naturally without me having to do much

Yep, one of the key principles espoused by Dale Carnegie in "How to Win Friends and Influence People". People think the world revolves around themselves and when you appear to acknowledge that, they love you for it.
 

"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.

Not pissing off the person you're dealing with its an amazing first step, everyone knows it yet very few remember it.

And don’t ask them a ton of questions. Yes, people like to talk about themselves, but don’t turn it into an interview. At least space out your questions so it doesn’t feel like a interview lol.
True. I found the most effective way is to ask them a personal question which they elaborate on, naturally. Then I simply stoke their thoughts on that topic by taking one of their thoughts and framing in to something which I can personally relate to and speak more about the idea of that topic, as when we talk about ideas rather than events or people our brains almost become boundless. Asking question after question and pretending they have ALL the knowledge is actually boring for both people and the conversation will go up in flames pretty quick.

Big Dave. You been making this 110% more difficult than it is. Right now you need to be getting your D1ck wet .In Chicago you could be cleaning up and tapping multiple babes a week . But you must get your dyck wet. Females can sense when your not getting puzzy . And when you are, others will want to fvck. That's how it is. Right now just worry about fvcking babes or a babe who chooses you. From there your game will rise .
 

"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.

This^. Too many questions too fast from someone bugs the crap out of me. I start to question their agenda and start thinking about how much they are wasting my time. Often times people who drill you with 1 million questions are looking to hear answers that put you in a light That is relatively negative compared to their own. So then they can internally gloat.
