Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.

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.
The beautifull thing about PU is that once you've got your shiit down, you become the one who's doing the selecting. You become the man that women want.Just another example of men helping women take over our society. I think this is because people view women as the "prey" and men as "predators" during pickups. Men have to use all sorts of convoluted techniques, and say and act a certain way in order to bed women.

WOMEN on the other hand, have to open their legs to attract a man so there isn't as big as a market for that type of merchandise. The only thing out there really for them is material to tell them essentially to close their legs, which is cause for garbage like "The Rules".
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.
This was actually a good interview until the last 12 seconds when Kimmel made 2 quick jokes about style. You could see style wince slightly.DJDamage said:I didn't see the interview but I could imagine where its going to be like Style was on Kimmel.

Are you kidding? What do you think the cosmetic industry is? The female clothing industry? Cosmo, Vogue, and all the other magazine crap? Women are FLOODED with help to attract men.Deus ex Pianoforte said:WOMEN on the other hand, have to open their legs to attract a man so there isn't as big as a market for that type of merchandise.

The reason style'd wince was because Kimmel hit the nail on the head. Style sounds and looks like your typical skinny gay guy there is no going around it (and metrosexual's do tend to get more girls then the average chumps), Yes he bed's many women but he doesn't look like he feels comfortable in his own skin (very appologetic, who knows maybe its a part of his "act" which makes it more sad). I rather bed some women and feel good about who I am and know that I can be much more.Paradox said:This was actually a good interview until the last 12 seconds when Kimmel made 2 quick jokes about style.

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 is the price to pay for exposure and Mystery books are going to sell better after the show. Conan was being himself and that is to entertain the audience so each of them get something out of this interview.PISTOL_WHIP said:He got made to look like a douche. He didn't blow it though, it could have went alot worse for him.
thank you!DJDamage said:The reason style'd wince was because Kimmel hit the nail on the head.

I ain't bashing the guy or any other PUA (props for starting the community) but why can't the desire for success with women cannot be spread to one's personal success in life?!
When I first saw style on a video I was shocked because my gaydar was in the red.organizedconfusion said:thank you!
Am I the only one that thinks Style it kinda ...gay?
Not that theres anything wrong with that or anything but he just seems queer for some reason.I don't know what it is..he's just soo squeeky and squirmy.It's cool that he's accepted his squeekyness and all and is genuinley himself rather then trying to cover it up and be more alpha or macho,points for that much. But come on,don't tell that no one else sees his aura as being a little fruity..or maybe alot! lol
Nothing against the guy or anything.
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.
