"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.

You know when a new PC or board game comes out and you want to play it, so you learn the rules, commands, situations, and through gaming experience, you manage to become great players.

What is the feeling?
Mainly it is KNOWING THE DYNAMICS OF THE GAME, i.e. when it is time to ATTACK, or DEFEND, but better, You subconsciounly learn to READ THE SITUATION CLEARLY.

How would you do it?
Clearly, you would say that the first thing it's "experience", but we must also have the tools in order to read those situations, because otherwise the experience would be null, void, or complely useless.
Would you use experience like a "trial and error", or are there methods which you can learn the game, and apply it?

It is not only related to actracting "woman game", or "dealing with woman", but with all the people in society in general. I see so many people understanding/reading those situations, and taking advantage of. Is that basically knowledge or experience?

ps: sorry for any mistake, I'm not native english speaker.
 

"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.

no, dating is like the prisoner's dilemma. each person has the ability to cooperate.. or try to use someone (sex, money, resources, etc).. it's not any more complicated than that... however, many people say the prisoners dilemma IS very complicated.

knowledge or experience?
Yes. This is very important as long as you learn from the experience and gain the knowledge.
That being said, You should always be learning and aware, the moment that you think that you know everything about relationship's, or anything.....then I believe that you are going backwards.

And you may find yourself....living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself....posting in a @jhonny9546 thread
And you may find yourself....behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself....in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

To answer the OP,

Trial and error, observation, books like "how to win friends and influence people", "48 laws of power", etc
