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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
That is the most awesome follow up post ever.bigneil said:Note: this should not include sex with prostitutes.
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.
Ummm....I was completely honest.KarmaSutra said:This thread is as worthless as asking a woman how many guys she's had drop a load in her.
None will be completely honest, therefore this is rendered to masturbation.
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.
Thank you thank you, so I guess I'm now a DJ since I'm the average range? Lol. Totally kidding about being a DJ now. I have a long way to go still.bigneil said:The reason I don't count hookers is because this is a PUA site and I'm curious how many women the members have picked up, not how many women they paid. That said, I have nothing against an occasional hooker. I think 10% of so is a good hooker percentage.
Note: 21 women is just about the average of this site, so not bad.

Of course, girls can get pregnant from swallowing cum....mustfirstregister said:BJ counts as having sex?
lmao! oh I love that answer, lol. If you count BJ as having sex then you are too young to be in this forum since you obviously don't know what sex is. Maybe the OP should have broken it down and said sexual intercourse (penetration), lol.Maxtro said:Of course, girls can get pregnant from swallowing cum....
Thanks! I like how that one breaks things down more. 30% virgins?? Only about 15% on this poll (Sosuave is working!) But the same exact percentage (74%) reported being with 10 or fewer women.Maxtro said:

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.
