"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.

NEW Bootcamp Starting Friday 4/9 - Competition!

The deadline for participating in this bootcamp is Friday, April 9th. Please be sure to PM me before then if you are interested in participating!!!

Alright, so there's been some interest in starting up a new bootcamp recently, and since I'm only a week into my own personal one I figured I'd start over and we'll get a big group one going.

However, this bootcamp is going to be in a competition format. Because we are all competitive by our very nature, it should provide us all with an additional incentive to get out there and kick everyone else's ass!

Rules
The rules are simple. For each week of the boot camp you are given a certain amount of tasks to complete (i.e. "Greet 50 people"). At the end of the week I will tally up who has the most of that given task and post the results in this OP for each week. Then, I will give everyone points based on their standings. The point amounts will be entirely dependent upon how many participants we have in the game. I will also post the overall rankings in this post.

Also, the only complicated rule that I have is that if you go further than you are required by the task in terms of what you do, it will only count as a normal task. For example, if the weekly task is to greet 50 people, and you strike up a conversation and get a number, this will only count as one greeting. This is because I want to retain the bootcamp style and don't want a free-for-all where everyone just goes all out and does whatever, mainly so that those that are having a harder time don't fall too far behind.

Finally, remember that we're doing this based on the honor system, and that if you lie you're not only ruining the fun for everyone else but also deceiving yourself and not getting anywhere in terms of your own personal development. Plus, there is no real prize for winning aside from bragging rights.

If this takes off I might make a leaderboards thread where weekly records are recorded, but that's way in the future.

Here is the DJ Bootcamp.

Please PM me before Friday if you are interested in participating in this. Friday will be the official start of this bootcamp (Day 1 of Week 1).

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

I'll try it. Although I may not be able to keep up with some of the guys in the later weeks.
 

"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.

I've finished this bootcamp twice now.
What do people hope to gain that they can't already get from a thriving social circle I wonder.

Honestly, why would you want to get a stranger's number when you could get the number of a girl you already know to be worth the time :cool:.

We'll see about that. I've seen a lot of these posters around before, which is a lot different compared to the "Boot Camps" I've seen in the past since I've joined this forum that were comprised mostly of new posters and Forum jockies. I think we'll get a decent amount of people past week 3 before we see a lot of people dropping off.

Plus I'm going to bug the hell out of everybody that falls behind or gets lazy. :cool:

Building up a thriving social circle requires the ability to talk to strangers and interact with people you don't know. Also, it's about more than getting the girl.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
