Smart move you put yourself in a very approachable position in the type of place where you're likely to be approached and let the rest take care of itself. I like it.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I agree with this. The type of bar you go to makes a huge difference. The places you want to avoid are the "downtown" bars that attract everyone in the metro area. You'll be competing with every other guy in the city, and the b!tch shield with these chicks is almost impenetrable. This is where a lot of social circles gather as well for special occasions such as birthdays, bachelorette parties, etc. In other words, these girls are there for reasons other than a ONS.Espi said:I like neighborhood bars that feature live bands. Smoky. Cheap drinks. A bar that seems to attract a diversity of women. In my mind, women who visit cheap bars are more likely to take someone home.
I make it a point to enter late, ie 1100 pm. I prefer to go alone--and I try to find a spot along the bar and focus on the band. I don't approach women or ask to dance. I really just focus on listening to the band and enjoying the music.
I've scored a ONS doing exactly this and have had several women approach me. Seems to work somewhat consistently. I actually try to force nothing other than enjoy the live music and drink a few beers. I'm quite comfortable being alone, just kind of absorbing the environment and seeing what happens. I do agree that dress is important.
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.
