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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
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.
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?

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.
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.
