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.
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.
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 have never done that. Yet again, I did well with women before the community.Murse said:Common sense in regards to woman is what the problem is, society has programmed most men to act like AFCs around girls and buy them flowers etc, this site is helping to reprogramme guys common and logic sense and ignore what we were hard wired to be like. Common sense was telling us we were doing something wrong with woman - somewhere along the line we were ****ing up... and so, one day we go on the internet and BOOM. DJ Bible, whats this??? GOLD!
LOL
Agreed. I wasnt referring to the whole community, just a lot of the guys I've met up with. When I used to hang out with layer guys, they completed lacked it to the point that a lot of them I believe suffered from autism spectrum disorders. Even a lot of the coaches I've met, are the same way.RedZone said:Most people lack common sense...not just people in the PUA community.
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.
take for instance I say its common sense for you to understand that you probably shouldn't go for a make out with a girl who looks like she isn't interested. :nono: Ive seen guys I've met off forums in my area do this.PapiChulo said:"common sense" doesn't really apply here at all. What do you mean in particular?
Word. Common sense only comes by making mistakes early and learning quickly.RedZone said:Most people lack common sense...not just people in the PUA community.
No, it's more that too many guys believe in NAWALT.Bossman90 said:Has anyone noticed that the most undeveloped trait of PU is common sense?
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
