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.
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.

What are you his spokesperson? There is no hatred in my reply, just mere opinion--if this threatens you, so be it! I do not live vicariously through these individuals, i go out and make my own success! Although i agree that they do write about some interesting things, their methods overcomplicate the act of getting dates. How do you know this guy is getting tons of girls and dates? Having knowledge about a subject and dating any girl of your choosing, are two different scenarios!
I have seen the above mentioned crap methods applied in the field. Mind you, by individuals who post here--and they failed.........MISERABLY. The girls practically tripped and fell trying to escape these guys!
Girls want fun and excitement, not some moron coming up to them and asking them for their female opinion! The 3 second rule, is the only rule i follow. I approach without hesitation, if the chemistry is there and the girl is fun to talk with, i ask for her #--no more, no less.
If you are friends with this guy, i will bet him $1000.00 he cannot get the caliber of girls he says he can in my neck of the woods.
yes, but him putting it on TV will captivate more people then if he had not. eventually it's going to be common ground that this stuff works and all guys will be trying to do it. it's just a matter of time, and when that happens the stuff will stop working!Originally posted by Aaron B
I disagree. Anyone who is determined to change their success with women will find the info. There is too much on the web for them not to.
And a large % of those who know nothing of "our world" are going to read the book but not make any changes in their lives and will still have limited success with women.
The real kicker for men is seeing Neil Strauss's hot girlfriend in the audience. That was some good PR advertising work there for those that needed "proof".Originally posted by Jon341427

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.
