"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.
Mystery's show on VH1 [Merged Threads]
- Thread starter e-lie
- Start date
"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.

Everything about him, his height, facial features, he's got the same awkward expressions on his face. It'd be funny if Mystery popped in a tape of Ghostbusters 1 or II and told Fred..."see..now this is what you DON'T do."
In terms of ability, I'd rank them..
-Alvaro (he's totally out of place)
-Brady
-Fat Joe
-Blonde joe
-Scott (needs plenty of work though)
-Indian guy
-Fred
I want to see these guys do well. Spoon had potential (remember the funny japanese walk in eps 1). If the guys outfits and "Avatars" better matched their personalities, it'd really help their real personalities to come out (and they'd be so much more relaxed).
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
The best part of him is that he thinks he's not that far off, yet he is one of the worst candidates. It's chaps like that I really tend to pity. Not only is he ruining all chances he has with a woman everytime he speaks, but he also doesn't even realise it!

You Raise a very good point. This is compelling evidence in favor of a "fake TV show" theory.Bling said:

The Keymaster from the original Ghostbusters movie perhaps?GQ_Confidence_1 said:
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

What are people seeing in this guy? Based on only the two episodes, there is no way you can say he is the best, or even out of place. He talks like an idiot, he acts like a douche bag, he was the only one that didn't have the balls to approach in the first episode, and in the second he thought he could impress girls with his dancing-monkey routine. Oh and he renamed himself Kosmo. :crazy:GQ_Confidence_1 said:
Can anyone tell me what the fuss is about?
I think the show is totally fixed.First off the camera angles were too good. Video was close,mikes were good. Then at one point Mystery looks into the camerra and talks to it. Like no one notices. I had noticed the great camera work on that Discovery show too. The one where they drop the guy in the middle of nowhere and give him a camera. Now come to find out, there were camera men around and the show is rigged.
Back to Mystery. I haven't seen him out pulling chicks who aren't drunk yet,or chicks who aren't major attention *****s.. I want to see Mystery in Malibu in broad daylight trying to pick up sober chicks with his lines and outfit. Or NYC. That would'nt go over too well.

Every show is like this... They do anything for money..
The discovery show is "Man VS Wild"... They have to have prof. camera men in there how else are they going to shoot the show
They were sleeping in tents and they had the're own places W/e
Back to mystery..
His lines WORK on sober woman better than on drunk girls....
I personally have a friend whov sarged with him in daylight and on the streets....
Get your Epinions straight
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
"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.
