"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.

How many of you guys pregame nights out to like teen clubs or house parties? Like take some shots before hand so ur not so uptight and let the nerves loose? If so, what kind of shots do you take and how many to loosen you up, but not get you drunk. Just to get you feeling confident a bit more.
 

"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.

I don't do it a lot, but I have before. 3 or 4 shots is usually a good amount to get you going before you start out for the night.

The trick to being a real DJ is not even considering alcohol to help with your nerves.
If you do this, cut it down slowly and let the game run free.

Yeah, well before I go to a party I usually get kind of nervous. I've never done it but was wondering if it'd help.

Sometimes i have a couple of beers. It doesn't do much except make you more funny and lively.
 

"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.

Well it doesn't even just have to do with being a better DJ. It's really more just because it'll make the beginning of the evening a little more fun, when it would generally start out slow.
