"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.

Any woman who says "Maybe" or "Possibly" when you ask them to grab a drink or out on a date is a waste of your time and energy. Do NOT engage them past that point.

Part of the reason I think guys have issues with OLD is they end up engaging too many women like this instead of simply cutting bait and finding women who are wanting to meet you. They talk with them for another week, week and a half, two weeks because they "aren't comfortable" with meeting yet, or they "want to get to know you better".

Bullsh!t.

They just aren't interested enough to say Yes

So you end up finally getting them to go out with you, or set up a date after a "good texting session" and then they flake or nothing happens in date, or you "have a great date" but then never hear from them again. Why? Because you were already starting at -20 before you even met them. They already were convinced you weren't there type, or weren't good looking enough or weren't attractive for whatever reason to them.

So no matter what happened in date, you were trying to dig yourself out of a hole just to get to get back to 0.

STOP WASTING TIME TRYING TO CONVINCE UNINTERESTED WOMEN TO BE MORE INTERESTED AND START SPENDING YOUR TIME TALKING WITH MORE WOMEN THAT ARE INTERESTED.

You will get laid far more often only engaging interested women from the start, trust me.


 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Especially with online! If I'm talking and I go for the #, and she stops/ gives excuses, I block and try someone else. I don't have time for games.

This kinda points to my biggest problem with pickup game in general....

I don't like to do too much convincing when it comes to women.

I like to see some interest off the bat, or i'd prolly just rather spend my time with my friends or something. One of my buddies is very pushy and I see he has decent results that way. Just not my cup of tea I guess, doesn't really match my character. If i'm talking to a girl and I even see a hint of a "take it or leave it" kinda attitude i'll just ghost her.

Appearance is important to the hookup, if you cant reel her in with how you look and keep her there with good times and fun. You're prolly looking at substandard sex and attraction anyways.
