"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.

Here's a few I tried on about half a dozen girls each yesterday, got some laughs but mostly awkward and terrified stares.

"Excuse me, but you got a really nice mouth," - followed up by "We should talk some more," or "can I get you something to drink?"

"What the **** are you lookin' at?"

"You look a little burnt, let me buy you something to drink"

All in good fun, then I got a few numbers winding down the night like a drunken **** at applebees.
 

"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.

Im confused... how was any of that DJ stuff?


"You look a little burnt, let me buy you something to drink"
can I get you something to drink
I think that bold part of the statement is loud and clear to the chick(s) you were mackin on.

The whole what the *** are you lookin at thing, chicks don't respond well to a dirty mouth. Now if you had just said "what are you lookin at" with a raised eyebrow and a sly smile I dunno.

That all being said, props for actually going out and talking to these chicks instead of moping around wishing you did, keep it up. But keep in mind that you don't need to buy their attention, act like you are that thing in their life that they are missing. You are on the high ground cuz you are the selector, the hunter, they are the prey.
 

"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.

Just for fun, I always wanted to grab a 12 back of bottles, a box of condoms, go up to the counter that has a hot cashier behind it, set them down and say "So, what are you doin' afterwork?":D

Made me spray my drink all over my monitor.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Whats wrong with just going up and starting a normal conversation with a girl?

HOLY SHEET. Yes! Go up, say something relevent, it can be as simple as (like I have done in a movie store) have you seen ______ movie? 20 mins of convo later I had a #. Just do it. Play off her words, poke a little fun. Smile. Eyecontact you know the DRILL.
 

"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.

umm... livinlifehard... that line is the epitome of sucking.

Cancerian--funny sh!t man, I gotta do this.

OP- Those lines sucked major balls. If you're getting nervous, always make sure you have a starter to fall back on, even if it's not that good.

For example if I can't think of ANYTHING ELSE to say (which is rare) I'll say either

1) you look like you're having a good day

or

2) you look like you're having a bad day

it just depends on their expression. While it isn't genius it beats the living hell out of "What the hell are you looking at?"

this one dude i knew in high school told me to use this pickup line on one of our customers, but i never used it: "you look ok, give me your number before I change my mind." I told him I don't think it would work. Later on he told me one of his friends used it and hooked up w/a girl.

Hey everyone is throwing up threads about the wonderful magic trick you can pull, I thought I'd try and lighten things up a little bit.

To those that are hating, I don't know what your problem is, but don't take your frustration out on me :)

Pick up lines aren't gonna get the whole job done, but if you don't have balls to start a conversation, there's nothing that can help you.

I had a blast last night, don't need to bag every girl you see to have a succesful night.
 

"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.
