"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.

My New Frame Still Sucks

I've been reading about NLP and re-framing for a few years now and I have been working on re-framing myself from a AFC to a PUA.

The PUA I try to be is laid back, at ease, funny and non needy etc. This new frame seems to attract more women than the AFC I used to be, but the problem is that my frame is of a AFC putting on an act of being a PUA.

As you can tell it's not a good frame to have. Has anyone else fallen into this trap and if so how did you work it out in your mind to finally kill the AFC frame?

I'm still AFC at my core wrapped in a PUA cover. Sort of like a Peanut M&M. I am afraid that if the women I'm with bites into me she will find the AFC peanut inside. Perhaps it's a bad metaphor but It's all I could come up with at this time.

Anyone know how to change this thinking?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Doesn't seem as if you have a thorough enough understanding of NLP. Go to a library or bookstore and first learn the basic concepts to build a understanding on framing properly.

Wow, I think you hit the nail right on the head. I have been missing a crucial part of how to re-frame. I have been trying to add to myself and not change myself. The difference may seem subtle but it's an important distinction.

Thanks a lot for that.

It's a HUGE distinction. Work on that distinction and then fold in presuppositions, associations and your submodalities.

You don't need to focus on reframing your not even there yet your just a poser. What you need to do is first find your confidence. Read the dj bible or some other useful post around here and then you'll get a better grasp. Basically your just a guy who is putting on a mask of confidence but underneath it all is still the same lack of self esteem AFC. Your talking about framing you but you need to focus on your Confidence WHICH IS THE BASIS OF BECOMING WHO YOU WANT TO BE. Once you become truly and genuinely confident in yourself you will notice the change as you have with you fake mask. Get your confidence first then worry about frame control. Got to learn to crawl before you can walk.

You should have no problem finding useful material around here but i point you in the direction of a good thread that i personally contributed myself and goes into more detail about what it really means to be a "natural". It's not all about frame control, techniques and all the shiit you think. It's a mindset plain and simple. Read the whole thread and maybe you'll learn something.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Alphamale is exactly right. You can't rely on ANY material to make you more alpha, before any of that you first need a strong inner core confidence.
