GAME > looks
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Great post, looks trumps personality and money every time. Keep gettin yourself to look good. Guys age very well.gbmack said:Money alone does not get you laid.
It's having money AND one of the following:
1. good looks
2. good personality
And if you don't have either of them, hit the gym.
When you work out, your "looks" will improve AND your "personality" will improve because of the confidence you gain from pushing yourself to the limit from running, lifting weights, etc.
If you don't have money, you better have good looks and a good personality...
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.
eh, I didn't mean careers are not important at all. I meant careers as a means of picking up chicks.zekko said:Why wouldn't improving yourself as a man include improving your career? Which would generally translate into more money, unless you're going for a fulfillment type of job where you just love what you do or are wanting to help people, etc.
and all you will get is the worng types of women - golddiggers!2crudedudes said:The career shouldn't replace your game. If all you do is flaunt your cash to pick up chicks, that's not game. That's being a rich AFC.
Most women (especially the hottest ones) are superficial and sometimes superfiscal.kingsam said:and all you will get is the worng types of women - golddiggers!
a suprising amount of rich people dont flaunt their wealth, if you met them they would seem normal
ppl (esp here) think being rich = chicks ... not really
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.
That had me cracking up!!! And I agree!teacha said:game > looks......until the lights are switched back on.

and pathetic...
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.
Once again, this is another story of RANDOM success. CONSTANT success is completely different.backbreaker said:There is this movie that i watched about a month ago, it's called interviews with hideous men, it has my baby in it, Juliane Nicholson, who is this grad student and she is trying for the whole movie to figure out what men and want and what women want all while battling her own personal problems.
anyway, in the movie, there are these two guys, who sum up sosuave to a T and as soon as i saw them i started crying laughing.
1. neither are really that bad looking at all
2. the entire time, they are sitting there, as Julianne (who is cute) is passing them, sitting there having these debates about women. no matter where they are, school, lunch, dinner, doesn't matter.
the guy who she ends up sleeping with, on the first date mind you, becuase she "was in love" (she really thought she was) was just some guy who she saw and a ****tail party, who saw her and started talking to her and asked her to come home with her.
he hits it, then meets someone else then tells her not to come around anymore, as he's banging other women.
that in a nutshell, is sosuave's relationship with women.'
man just do it.
