"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.

Has anyone read RSD Jeffy's book, "Nine Ball"?

I started it the other day, I haven't gotten very far, I honestly doubt that I'll even finish it. Supposedly it is chock full of all kinds of PUA tips and techniques. It doesn't appear that he needs them, though.

It starts out with Jeffy's girlfriend leaving him, and he pines for her for about six months. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he decides that he's done with relationships and that he is going to become a player. He seems to have no problem banging girls, as he gets drunk a lot and has several fvck buddies that he has sex with fairly regularly.

One girl is a neighbor girl, and apparently he is in the habit of breaking into her house at 3 in the morning, coming into her bedroom, dropping his pants, and yelling "Time to Fvck!". So far his PUA techniques consist of the following:

1) Be drunk.

I have to admit it's an effective strategy, as long as you can stay out of jail. When I was a youngster, most of my casual sexual enounters involved alcohol. It just makes everything easier - social lubricant and all that.

I think one of the things that made "The Game" work as a book is that Neil Strauss was not successful with women until he got into pickup. Jeffy may not have been a stud, but he certainly could get laid without much effort.
 

"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.

I haven't read "Nine Ball," but I have read "The Game" and one thing that made that book so successful that BEFORE the author got into pickup, he was actually a professional writer.

It wasn't about some guy who ended up on a path of PUA and then decided to write his memoirs after it.

You might say that since he was doing all the PUA stuff SO THAT HE COULD write a book about it, his experiences weren't entirely "organic."

AND he rearranged events, etc, to match "story structure."

Well getting drunk may well be a way to hook up,but as Old Will said"...Drink provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance..."I have noticed that even Viagra is no antidote to Brewers droop LOL.
