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.
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.
Yes, very much so. I've found west coast females to be much more forward than say midwestern females. Women from the west usually lead my interactions and get straight to business. It's like they're "up to something" when I talk to them. My general feeling from them is that they consider sex to be like fast food wanting to eat as much food from as many different places as possible as fast as possible. Though it could just be a big city thing. Girls from all around Europe were open to sex too but were more conservative about it. Canadian women remind me of western girls but I get the feeling that they're polyamorous up there bcus the whole group of friends would try to hook up w/ me instead of just the one girl like what's typically done here.
I can give you the lowdown on east coast girls, very forward and blunt. You know if they like you or not based on their attitude and reactions, they are not nice when giving rejections and usually very cold. If they are into you, very forward and in a scary direct way too lol.
Ha last Russian chick i danced with had grabbed my hands and put them on her breast in the middle of a lit dance club for all to see. If they're mostly like that then that's awesome.
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.
Oh yeah, very direct, I wish there were more Russian women on the planet. If we had less Canadian and Mediterranean women and more Russian women, the world would be a happy place.
