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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It's been my experience that cold approaches rarely pay off unless you're a super alpha or a celebrity. It's always easier when there's plausibly deniability over something that's going on around you.yungballa said:I meet girls at school or through my friends, like you. I've only ever done ONE cold approach in my life and it turned out horrible, lmao. I hardly lead the convo on for longer than a minute or 2. I still did the approach, though! So, who cares!
I like to be careful with social circle game though. I find that taking risks can be very dangerous for me in social circle game, as doing the wrong thing can easily tarnish reptuation...
I like to know what "super alpha" is? I am planning on doing cold approach this week.BlueAlpha1 said:It's been my experience that cold approaches rarely pay off unless you're a super alpha or a celebrity.
This is just one man's opinion and some people don't see as much value in these things, but I think of a guy who has one thing that stands out very obviously among other guys.yun-j said:I like to know what "super alpha" is? I am planning on doing cold approach this week.

I have to disagree. I use 100% cold approach and i can say i have 70% success. The reason i do only cold approaches is because of my strict rule ''don't have anything more that friendship with the girls on my circle''.BlueAlpha1 said:It's been my experience that cold approaches rarely pay off unless you're a super alpha or a celebrity.

"What time does this place close?"
"Look, there's a fight over there."
"Do you where I can find store X?"
When I was in Europe, 'lost tourist' game yielded some friendly responses because it's far less awkard than "I was looking at you from over there and just had to say hello!"
except places where you really shouldn't meet women.Poon King said:You can meet women anywhere.
There are NO rules.
There is a difference between "can" and "should". You CAN meet women anywhere.devilkingx2 said:except places where you really shouldn't meet women.
doctor's offices(sick people), clinics(people with STDs), mental asylums(literally crazy people), therapist/psychologist offices(people with issues and baggage), hospitals(especially the mental ward and the ER), prisons(felons, scammers and psychopaths), etc.
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.
If you take cold approaches seriously you are generally going to have a bad time. You really need to not give a sh*t for the best results. The moment you become concerned about "succeeding" and grabbing their number, you've lost. The focus should be to have fun. You should think of cold approaching as an opportunity to talk with someone and enjoy yourself. It doesn't matter who you are, if the person you're approaching detects even the slightest amount of desperation or insecurity the situation automatically becomes unnatural and awkward.yun-j said:I like to know what "super alpha" is?

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.
That's true,i can confirm it myself. Thanks to my work i talk to more than 100 people per day and i have developed my character to cope with every situation no matter if it's awkward or funny.ImTheDoubleGreatest! said:That top 1% of social skills by the way have great social skills because they STRONGLY believe that they do and are EXTREMELY comfortable with themselves. And when when you believe as strongly as that, you no longer think it, you just are it.
