"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Hi everyone,

Here are the approaches I've done in the past six months. They are only quite a few. I know that I have to approach some more in order to 'up' my game.

But before I do that, I will post these previous approaches in order to get some feedback from all of you.

Here they are, as far as I can recall. Note that these were translated from my native language.

Approach 1
This girl about an 8, petite and a dancer figure. 5 years younger than me. She's 17 and I'm 22.

When I first made eye contact with this girl she was sticking her tongue out to me in a childish way, I was surprised she dared to do that. :eek:

I approached her later in that evening -- unintentionally. In my evening class we had a surprise test and I did not have any paper. The bookstore was closed, so I've been asking everyone in the corridors to give me some paper.

Then there was her.

Swabe: Hey, do you have any paper?
Girl: (surprised) I'll look in my bag.

( Thank God! She had some paper. :D )
Swabe: Thank God you have some paper! Can I borrow one from you?
Girl: I can't let you borrow one but I can give one to you. ( wise ass )
Swabe: Well, thank you very much. Your very kind. Whats your name?
Girl: Its zzzzzz
Swabe: zzzzzz, thank you for the paper. I have to go now to my test. I'll be seeing you around.

( I felt that I did not have time to get the proper close since I had to hurry for my test. )


Approach 2
This girl a 9, has been giving eye contact and smiles some days before my approach. I finally got the courage to approach her and here it goes...

We meet at the lobby in our school.
I smiled at her and she smiled back.

Swabe: Hi! I noticed that you don't wear your school uniform.
Girl: Yes, thats because I am cross-enrolling at xxx university.

( fluff talk about her situation and stuff )

Girl: What's your name?
Swabe: It's Swabe, and yours?
Girl: Its zzzz.

Girl: I think I saw you before. Weren't you an accountancy student before?
Swabe: Yes, but then I've changed to engineering.
Girl: Oh! so that is why you look familiar.

( We walked together outside the school building. At this time, I was turning my head about to look for my friends. I was afraid that they would be teasing me. :rolleyes:
I said goodbye to her but I did not ask for her number.
I know now from reading here that I should have asked for it.
)

I will be posting some more... but right now I have to study for a test.
Guys, I would really appreciate your critiques and comments and any suggestions.
Bye for now.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Good work Mr Swabe!

The next step is to ask for the girls number at the end of any conversation. For example, when you talk to a girl for a few minutes, say "Why don't you write down your number and we'll go do something sometime?" Make this automatic, so that when you are chatting up any girl you always end the conversation with it.

I definitely think you would benefit from approaching more women. Practice by starting up conversations with anyone, guy, girl, ugly, hot, old, deaf... it doesn't matter. This will improve your conversation skills and will make you more comfortable when talking to women.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I never have thought that sapiens was a filipino.

Latest Approach

Ok. It's 2AM as I am posting now.

Just came from a resto-bar. A friend of mine was celebrating his birthday. We were a group of ten, composed of guys and their GFs.

One of my friends knew the owner's daughter. She approached us together with a friend of hers who was a Filipino-Chinese chick HB8.

I tried to be ****y & funny to her.
I said to her: "Why don't you come here in front of us and introduce yourself, as if you were in an elementary class."

My friends were laughing. Aparrently there was no reaction from her. So I leave it at that.

I've noticed that C+F does not work very well here. Or maybe I'm just doing it all wrong.

What do you think?

Thats a good line. Perhaps I could use that in the future.

Yes. In retrospect, I find that what I did was insulting.
I was trying too hard to please everyone. ( The girl and the gang. ) I fouled it up.

I guess there is a very fine line between C+F and an insult.

Next time, I'll be more conservative with my comments.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.
