"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.

i noticed that ALL girls i start seeing will eventually ask to see a picture of ex-girlfriends/girls i've dated, etc. and they tend to press too after i deny their first requests. what's up w/ that? happens all the time and i'm sure many of you guys can relate. right now, this girl wants to see my ex's myspace profile; i didn't tell her sh** by the way. Are you guys open about showing pictures of your ex to curious new girls? i'm not open about that stuff. girls just want to find out whether or not you've been w/ drop dead gorgeous hotties or average plain janes... so they can compare. i think it's better though to be secretive about the actual pictures and to instead drop hints about how attractive they were (even though they might not have been attractive)... you'll gain value and mystery at the same time
 

"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.

i think a girl demanding to see pictures of ex-gf's is ridiculous. I honestly can't say I've ever been directly asked this out of the blue sky, but i can almost guarantee any girl would be interested in a heart beat to see pictures of your "history". personally i think you said the right thing at the end there... don't show them anything, just be coy and tell them about the hotness of your ex-gf... I think we all know how much better or imaginations are anyway.

besides, secondly... no real advantage can be had from showing pictures anyway. if your ex was ugly as crap, the new girl will feel like she's reaching down to be with you... and if your ex was drop dead hot... this doesn't necessarily make your job hooking up with new girl any easier anyway, so what's the point?

who cares
by all means show them pictures if they were attractive...it will raise your value more than any other option. If they werent...well the one that wants to know is open to being deceived.
 

"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.

Show it can only bring your value higher, now doesn't have to be some extreme pics. Just maybe you with your arms around 2 girls, a few with you, your homeboys and her. A few pics of you by yourself, etc. An you don't have to show off every girl just a few.

While this is an opportunity to "show off", it has no proven trackrecord of working in a positive way, regardless of how great your picture collection actually is. I had an awesome collection of pics w/ girls who were friends and lovers and used to show them off as just part of a "photo album" of pictures (that was intended to raise interest levels).

In some cases it worked for the moment, "Wow, she's really beautiful" the girl looking at the pictures would say. Sometimes the opposite effect though, where they'd pretend to lose interest really quickly and they'd get colder and less friendly.

Out of curiosity, how often do you mention your past relationships?

Mystery recommends the photo album routine as the best routine ever.
IT should not have hot girls all over the place, but rather you doing interesting stuff, being in cool places and maybe a couple of girls.

So I'd think it should work.
The reason if it does not work - because your current girl can become insecure about all the other hotties being with you.
She might think: OMG, he was with such beautiful girls before. He will dump me in a second.
So you have to calibrate who you show it to.

Also, you may want to say a lot of nice words about her beauty right after the hot girls pics. You've got the most amazing eyes. etc..
So she feels more secure about it.

say "why, so you can stalk them with your jealousy?" or "what, afraid you won't measure up?"
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.
