I'm starting to realise the benefits and entertainment value of pretending to be stupid. It's gotten my out of some sticky situations, where being smart, I would have made myself unnecessarily vulnerable.
"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I second this. People believe you aren't as smart so they end up talking and acting more freely around you, which allows you to see who they really are. When people think you aren't as smart as you really are, you learn more about how things ACTUALLY are. Very useful. I've done it hundreds of times and people feel more comfortable around me sometimes too. Little do they know.....
As for women, they think I am naturally a certain way despite being consciously aware of whatever I'm doing. They'll say stuff like 'are you doing that on purpose?' And I'll be like 'wait what? What do you mean?' And they think that I'm naturally a certain way and love me more for it, they think they're so smart and that they've figured me out.
You have full control over somebody once they THINK they have control.

"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.
It's a law of power.

Lol I do this all the time
A women would swear I'm just an ordinary guy with a sh!tty job until she finds out what I do. Shocked look on her face, priceless. But I often do this to women to see her character, let her think she's figured me out. You'd be surprised how often women take advantage of a dumb guy.
