"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.

Well i just got back from town...nobody really made EC at all, except for 1 guy around my age who i nodded to and he nodded back. I talked to a bunch of clerks just to get me more socialized.

I find the hardest thing is that nobody wants to make EC with you..atleast not on the street. I'm taking a bus to class tonight though so we'll see how that goes.

Day 1 is over...actually more of a half day but w.e...only got 4or 5 good solid EC's but it wasn't from lack of trying, everyone seems to find a way to look somewhere else. One good thing that happened was in psyc class i sat beside some cute chick i didn't know and talked to her for a bit before class began, and on the bus home i smiled and made EC with 2 girls, one smiled back and kept ec, one looked away but she hovered around me till the bus came. I should have made some comment about her hat or something but w.e...baby steps.

Tommorow i plan on doing 10 hello's and smiles , and i'm gonna work my way up by 5 till i have 50.

Later guys.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

screw that man, you all you have to do is look them in the face and say hi. They can be old if you want, and they never seem to answer anyways. If you have trouble doing that, you will have trouble in the future of bootcamp. Just do you best

Hi, :) Such a great part of the bootcamp!

Zombie's opinion doesn't count, we should just ignore him and in time he will fade away ;p
 

"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.

cute girls giggling

For 2 days work I already have 27 ECs. Some of them with smiles, and some with Hi's. There are also few where the girl will just look down, while others would look away.

HIGHPOINT
While I was at our college library I saw two girls whom I have noticed to be around there before at those times.

I made eye contact with the less cute one ( but they're both hot ) and acknowledged it with a nod. She smiled at me and she nudged her friend( the cuter one ) to look at me. This one also made eye contact and smiled at me. They were both giggling and it looks as if they were becoming unsettled.

I was becoming anxious and self-conscious due to this. I wanted to approach but didn't because I am afraid to waste this good oppurtunity.

I know that they will be there this Tuesday, so I'm gonna approach them by then.

Guys, what would be some good openers for this? Give me a plan of attack. I want to number close the cuter one.

Well this assignment was pretty easy, especially because I work in a bar/resteraunt. From last weekend to today Ive gotten at least 50 ECs and 50 hellos.

And of those hellos, the vast majority said hello back and smiled, and a few even struck up conversations with me. In a local mall, one girl asked me for directions to a store and held conversation for a few minutes.

I work with the general public too, so I am counting the ones at work as .5. Not to say that you HAVE to, but I think its easer to say hello when you are in your work place. Regardless, good job

I went to the mall again for some more hello's and honestly it is a lot harder then I thought. Not that saying hi is hard, just that no one looks at you. Everyone is in their bubble.

I was in a store and I found that if you see someone looking at something on the shelf, go over and look at the same thing they have in their hand (as long as it isnt tampons), they will look at you and move over a step, thats where you smile and say hello. I found this easier to do.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I agree, it shouldnt count but it also depends on the job. If you are a greeter at a restraunt for example you would have 50 by the end of your shift. Thats why I count them as .5 and to do most of this on my days off.

I get the exact same thing, people will actually go to an effort to avoid looking at you. I said 2 hellos so far today, neither responded though. I also talked to a couple bums...it seems the only people on the street who will make EC with you are the ones begging for change :(

Oh well i'm off to the campus bookstore in a bit hopefully i can strike up some conversations there...

Good job remember if they do not want to socialize with u then ITS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM!! not with u! When my friend who was born in USA went to Poland (he is 20 ) 1st thing he noticed People were giving him EYE CONTACTS everybody! so remember people do not want to give u ECs or answer ur hello that means they are afraid of u! THATS AWESOME! that means in that particular situation u are ALPHA> atleast the way i see it!

I was socializing with girls a lot today. 1 didn't want to talk to me, actually she did talk to me but it was 1 way conversation so i just said "nice meeting u BYE!" and speed up my pace she was shocked as we were going same direction for atleast half a mile.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
