She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
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...

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.
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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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?

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
