"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Post your field experimentation ideas here, and I'll do them.

"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.

Bond made her laugh, then-
Bond: What about a drink at my place?
HB: Your place? Is it close?
Bond: Very.
8 second starefest.
HB: One drink
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Reading through this thread brings back some awesome memories of my undergraduate college career. This entire thread was a blast to do. From the slick ideas to the straight up outrageous ones, I can honestly say last school year (I've been away from the forums for about a year) was the most enjoyable one out of my college years.
Do any of you think that, a year later in retrospect, I regret any of the suggestions that I attempted which resulted in rejection? Of course not! In the same way, there is no one rejection that will matter to you in the grand scheme of things. The rejections that I received while experimenting with your ideas were some of the most hilarious ones I've ever gotten. Keep things in perspective at all times, and you'll have fun.
An update since I last posted: After I faded away from the forums I continued to approach chicks on campus and kind of "experiment" on my own. I wish I had been frequenting the forums at the time because you know that I would have given you day-to-day updates on each approach I tried and the results. I have my go-to approaches of course, and some of the ideas that I've tried in this thread I still use to this day (for example, my 5th experiment that L777 suggested). I am now attending graduate school at the very same campus and although I am much more vulnerable to time constraints, I'm thinking about starting this baby up again. How would you guys like a part 2?
EDIT: I want to give a shoutout to Randallpink83 for his tic-tac-toe opener idea that I used early on in this thread and I loved it. It's been one of my main weapons ever since.

Yeah, last time around a lot of DJs wanted to get in on this so maybe this time there could be several of us trying these different approaches out. I'm curious to see what awesome ideas everyone will come up with.IsiMan84 said:
I moved to the Dallas area from Iowa. The city I lived by was maybe a little over 100,000 metro, and DFW metro is about twice the population of our entire state. My town was the type of place where everyone knew everyone, the same people went to the same places, and any failed pickup had long-term effects. I didn't realize I hadn't been on here since I moved, I'll update that soon.Solomon said:
One of my friends found a PUA meetup group in the Dallas area and they schedule a few get-togethers every now and then to talk about the same type of stuff we do on here. From what he tells me some of those guys need work too. But apparently they are planning to sarge at one of the Dallas malls next Sunday, so I might have to accompany him and see what these guys are all about. Could be a good chance to use some of those experimental approaches too. Have you proposed any new ideas, or are you looking to use the same format you did in this one?Incog said:

-It's my birthday! Can I have a birthday kiss? (Is it really your birthday?) No, but how about a kiss anyway?
-Do I know you? (delivered with ****ed brow- yes it's cheesy, that's the point)
-Are you single?
-Wow. (After looking at her up and down)
Off topic but what kind of setting are u in now. And will u have the opportunity to do it in your setting?
I'm in my last year of college right now and im considering trying some of these but the bad thing is. My school is 60-40 male to female. and the pop is about 20,000. I'm good looking and 5'11. i mainly go after asian girls, but they're so scarce at my school. i've gotten with a few though. I'm not sure how this would work on asian girls since our cultures are very conservative but who knows. I've had no problem talking to girls of any race maybe except some latina girls they're the most stuck up. i've had a gf of almost every race, u think it'd be a problem for an attractive asian male to use the shock and awe approach?

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Sorry to leave you all hanging for 2 years! I decided to swing by the site and see what everyone was up to. First off, I must say I have slowed down considerably from the guy that originally posted this thread, who was willing to try just about any approach idea for the hell of it. I swam through my fair share of women in college, and as fun as it was while it lasted, I know I couldn't have done that forever. I'm now devoting a heavy amount of time to my new career, which explains my absence from the forums. Ironically, meeting women has never been easier. I put very little effort into it. The passion I have for my career is extremely attractive to women..not to mention when I tell a girl the career itself (I'm a police officer), I can feel them getting hot for me..haha.
Boy, this thread was fun to do. I am honored to have inspired a few of you out there to step out and try new things when it comes to approaching women. Reading this thread in retrospect, years later, I had forgotten about every instance of rejection I posted about here, while I had accurately remembered several of the hook-ups resulting from approaches in this thread. What does that tell you?
I don't know how often I'll stop in to check up on you guys (I hope it's not another 2 years), but let me leave you with this..
Never, ever be afraid to approach a woman.

"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.
