What a sad existence..
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
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.
i agree, were here for help with self improvement, tips and support, the main focus happens to be women, if you have another focus, go to another site or the Anything else section. Also, if you wish to become a PUA, then another site may be better for you as this trickery (although taught in part)is not what were after in the end.georgie24 said:dont understand direction of the topic
but our success is happiness
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.
the Term Success is so thwarted and over used like a hooker on the vegas stripPurefilth said:i agree, were here for help with self improvement, tips and support, the main focus happens to be women, if you have another focus, go to another site or the Anything else section.

As georgie24 says, happiness = success=happiness.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Very well written, and congrats on becoming a more confident person.The Sperminator said:Here is the definition of success it is the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted. If sleeping with women is your goal then yes you are successful if you are talking about in life then that's a different story.
Just because you can get women to sleep with you does not mean you are successful in life just in the women department....but before joining this site I was terrible with women a virgin, no dates, no kiss, no nothing. This site, books, articles, etc. that taught me how to get women to get women and I became successful with them.
I would say in general I became a more successful person because of it and not just because of the women but because I learned how to get what I want, I learned that nothing is impossible, I learned that if you work hard enough you can do anything you want. Most importantly I learned that you should never let fear control you and to take risk in life...be the person you always wanted to be not the person you are because you are scared to take chances. So overall I do think I am successful in life because of all of this. I was able to get the confidence to go after what I want in life.

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.
