"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.

Market having to do with location?

For those who have been around in a bunch of different areas, have you ever realized that it seems just so much easier to close in one location than another?

I listen to a podcast where the host will occasionally tell listeners to mack where their market is which I thought was BS till I started to look at my own results over the years.

Now, I used to think if you are a good PUA you should be able to get the same results across the board.

But then after my own personal experience and also noticing some ridiculous numbers for some lay reports (guy closes 8 girls in Manila in 2 weeks then goes on to close like 1 in 2 months in Bangkok..both the same difficulty in terms of closing I'm thinking) it seems that numbers can really be influenced just by where you are.

Therefore I am beginning to support the notion of market not only being in terms of girl types but also in your actual location. What do you think, is location a big factor? (when comparing 2 similar locations not some crap where you compare your results in Venice Beach vs. North K0rea)
 

"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.

Orlando. I've lived in burbs, and downtown. In the burbs, I had to drive 1.5 miles before I saw any civilization, save for illegal mexicans mowing lawns.

Downtown I could walk out my door, stand on the sidewalk and wait for a bangable chick to walk by to spit some game at.


Rochester, NY is the same way. If you're not near one of the colleges, or where the young people live, you might as well go back to your playstation and match.com.

Of course location matters. Lots of guys are blind to reality with this "A PUA or DJ should be able to get chics anywhere BS".

Like you said, it's a market. And a the best marketing mix covers

Dude location matters alot at least for me. I live in Miami and believe me I think its one of if not the hardest places to game chics if you are not visibly wealthy or have a high degree of social status/proof.

Forget about looks. Good looking guys/pretty boys/hard bodies are a dime a dozen here.

I would rate myself an 8.5 yet I cant say with a straight face that Im pulling even moderately hot women on a consistent basis.

When I travel abroad, its a totally different story. I seem to attract women without trying.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

x2 for Atlanta. Its pretty much the same here. Very materialistic and status driven. Tons of 30,000 a year millionaires. Flashy cars, clothes, and McMansions. In my area a BMW or Mercedes is like a Camry, everyone drives one.

Women here are spoiled for dates, attention, and money.
Guys with pretty faces and muscles are a dime a dozen. My buddy who once modeled in L.A. was in a dry spell for nearly a year. The party girls ignored him since he worked as an accountant and the normal chicks wanted nothing to do with him as he was too busy working and studying to constantly chase and court them.

I would highly recommend Atlanta if you want a serious relationship and don't mind the chasing and courting. The women here eat that sh*t up. Not a great place to casually date or spin plates though unless you're rich or a celebrity.

Im wedged in between Dunwoody and East Cobb....Buckhead is a few miles southeast of where I live. The entire north Atlanta area close to the perimeter is where all the wealth resides.

Most women here don't play around. Many of them moved from NYC and other cities to settle and find a boyfriend/husband. The only guys here getting "action" either get it from their gfs/wives or from status obsessed groupies.

An average or even above average guy is going to have a difficult time living the "casanova" lifestyle here.
 

"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.

Location Location Location I guess.. I was hoping to swing by Miami and Atlanta some time but it looks like you need to roll with some status symbols if you wanna get a lot of play.

I would assume that a place where hot girls are a dime a dozen would be alot easier too (Taipei).

Some places have dimes, but not a lot.. and then an army of successful men trying to game them (Miami?). Seems then, that Boston and NYC would be better as the actual ratio of HB7-10 is less skewed.
