"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

is direct approach as effective as persuasion?

like by asking the chick, "so, you want to hook up this friday" vs "lets go out this friday, etc etc"
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

For me personally, I've always had MUCH more success with direct approaching. When I try anything else I just get blown out of the water...for some reason my personality just works better being super direct, and every good success I've gotten has come from that. Plus you feel like a badass afterwards too :up:

This may get flamed, but I think it generally holds true. The better looking/more attractive you are, the more success you will have with direct approach. Thats what I've found anyway.

What every dude needs is looks and personality, take a look at Robbie Williams, he has the X Factor personality and he is a hunk as well, hot babes drool over him, both are important, only a fool would think otherwise.
 

"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.

Take a look at Aerosmith. He has women drooling over him, and he's a shriveled, feminine looking freak.

LOOKS DON'T MATTER.

Say it again:

LOOKS DON'T MATTER.

Shout it from the rooftops:

LOOKS DON'T MATTER.
