"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Alright, so far practice, I asked my friend to give me a couple numbers of girls to call. I called all of them and the ones that did pick up didn't really go anywhere. Mostly sh*t ended in awkward silence or I just got bored of talking to her and hung up.

But yeah, how should you go about calling up girls you don't really know? Like, how can you start a conversation on the phone without seeming desperate or showing too much interest? I want know this.

And I'm not looking for general convo skills, as when talking to girls I don't know in person, I can usually get interest. However, the phone is a different thing. And really, I do honestly believe that a few of the girls were just b*tches.

Most of the convos were just "Hey! Who is this?" with me talking like I had a lot of energy. Then she would either say her name or ask who I am. Haha, some of these girls don't know English though. Swear I had to tell a couple of girls my name 5 times before they got it.

So how can I improve my phone game? What IS good phone game?
 

"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.

Good phone game is simply getting the girl to meet up with you at a later date.

Are these number closes that you are trying to convert? If so, I'd recommend you try closing them by facebook friending them instead. This gives them the chance to facebook stalk you, find out about you, and then you can invite them out through their wall or private messaging. I actually don't ask for numbers anymore unless we make concrete plans to do something at a later time - instead, I get their name and facebook them later.

As for randomly calling girls that don't really know you... that seems a little weird.

Why would you call girls whose numbers you dont have? How do you not seem desperate? Dont get numbers from your friend. You cant call girls you dont know. Man, you act like you have game, but again, youre demonstrating that you havent learned anything in the past 5 years. Dude, just pull your head out of your ass. Most of this stuff isnt that hard.

Dude, you're asking friends to give you girls numbers from their phone as practice?

That is the lamest thing I've ever heard. You are never gonna get laid dude.

Take up model airplanes or something.

Put yourself in her shoes. Some random guy calls you up and tries chatting you up. Who is he? What does he want? Do I know anything about him to make some conversation? Am I comfortable talking to some random voice on the phone? And what are all these weird questions he keeps asking me. It's like he's some weirdo following me around, how does he know???

Etc. Put yourself in her shoes for a moment.

Why? There is NO POINT to it whatsoever. You will not get anywhere because that is not how the game is played.

Phone game is when you meet a girl, you talk you get to know her a little bit, then you chat her up on the phone later.

This is not phone game. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Start at the beginning.



I'm curious how long you will chase your own tail until you give up and join the rest of us normal people.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

the key is to get them to WANT to talk to you. this is done prior to getting their number.

i have great conversations with a girl i have just started dating.

when one person has to carry a conversation, it is rough.

when she wants to talk and will also generate conversation, it is very enjoyable.
