"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.

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 thought this quote from the article was interesting:

More recently, Ken Hoinsky’s pick-up manual, Above The Game: A Guide to Getting Awesome with Women, spurred online outrage on Kickstarter, which pulled the project, and around the Web for seemingly advocating sexual assault. The book contained lines like: Don't ask for permission, GRAB HER HAND, and put it right on your ****.”

That reminds me of RSD techniques like The Claw, or cavemanning (going up to a woman, picking her up, and carrying her away). They would tell you: "Well, if the woman presses charges against you, then you're a chode". Lol.
