Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

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.

It's hard to get eye contact. Not from my side but the others. I look everyone in the eyes now and nobody seems to give it back.They all look in front of themselves or at the ground. Now I was wondering could I say Hi to a girl even though we haven't made any EC?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

of course you can its not against the law :p
In fact use it as a convo starter. Ask her why she thinks the sidewalk is so interesting?

:p That is funny.

But think about it from their point of view, you're walking down the street and you notice someone staring at you without saying a word. That's a little strange.

Consider getting their attention and eye contact by saying "hello."

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I wouldnt focus all my energy on street pickups, if you want to get rejected moreso than not, I wouldnt do it (thats just me personally)

Usually people are going somewhere , and they dont feel like being stopped.

If I was on my way to work, and a HB stopped me to chat, I would think "Damn YOUR HOT! But Im late for work"

Try EC in places where people are stationary, like school, class, clubs, malls

I'd ask them about something that caught my eye; jacket, jewelry, laptop computer (don't laugh, I've met a couple of HBs at coffee shops by asking about their computer or what they were working on). My success is because I don't make it seem like an obvious pickup.

My experience is that you can't pick up on people who aren't receptive at some level. If she is in a rush and doesn't want to be picked up on then you are not going to pick her up unless you are a significant improvement over the guys she usually dates.

But your whole motivation is to get a girl that is better than your ave isn't it?

So stick to areas where she is relaxed and you can talk. Supermarket, mall etc.
