"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.

Whoa...my reality is shattered. Not sure if it was the best sarge of my life or the worst...

I went out on the town tonight in a giant black furry pimp-style hat, grayish-clear sunglasses, and a billowy white pirate shirt.

I was opened, conservatively, 50 times. Guys, girls, it didn't matter. I even had one girl run me down across the bar to open me and talk to me. More girls said something to me tonight than the entire 24 years of my life put together in about two hours. My reality was past that of a SHB10. Seriously, it felt like I was a ****in celebrity. Guys, girls, all pawing at me, it was an alternate universe because of one $20 hat. People totally dug the hat, all positive, except one club that wouldn't let me in.

Now comes the bad part...none of these openers went ANYWHERE...they would say "I love your hat" or "nice hat" and it died in the water. I danced with exactly one girl tonight in two hours...my usual reality is 5-7 in a two hour session. No numbers, one brief kiss in the lineup. That was it. It was like I was a comfortable sideshow, but not a real man...not sure if I gamed poorly or was incongruent or if I was just way outside of their reality and they didnt see me as a human being.

Just an odd sarge. Totally different from ANYTHING I have ever experienced.

I need advice. How should I respond to these comments? How should I take these comments or the "I want to wear your hat" and get them into an actual set...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Thats because you don't have the personality or 'game' to back up the peacocking.

Why not give a few tips?

A cold assessment, but likely true. I think I became incongruent over the course of the night...didn't maintain my persona when I was opened.

I kind of let my gear try to do all the talking, and my state got ****ed up. I never was able to lead the openers into actual sets. I think the whole massive reality shift just was more than I was ready for.

Man, it is a trip though. Never had an experience like that. I think if I refine it, it could be a powerhouse approach.

Thinking you would need any kind of 'peacocking' to be successful with women comes from the frame of a very insecure personality.

Stop this unless you would also like to wear those clothes at places where no women are cause you personally enjoy wearing them.

You think clothes will help you or you even need them? The next is you will need a great sports car, then comes a great house, last step will be that you need to have your guru next to you 24h/day unless you can get active.

STOP THIS.
 

"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.

Ya know, I can understand that, and yes, part of me was looking at peacocking as a quick fix.

However, bottom line was that I did have a lot of fun doing it, and I enjoyed myself even though I didn't pull. It was a totally new experience in my life.

It also had obvious potential. A solid 8 literally ran me down halfway across the bar to open me because "she was impressed at how bold you have to be to wear something like that". Stuff like that only happens to celebrities. Not even model-attractive guys get that type of thing.

I wasn't ready for the new reality. I had peacocked before and I pulled a girl who opened me on a different hat last weekend. However, this getup was my previous gear to the 10000th power in terms of AIs and openers. My reality quickly became that of a SHB10 and I blew tons of chances because I would literally keep walking when a HB would open me. I just wasn't ready for the reactions I got.

Once I practice more solid game, I will be ready for it next time, and even if you don't pull, its damn fun. I recommend everyone try it if only for that reason.
