"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.

I don't know about worshipping pug, but half the people on here are just bewildered that he went off the deep end. it's like watching a car crash

thanks for the posts, will check them out, since apparaently there's other people on here actually DOING something, not just making theories
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have mentioned the approach journal forum in the "Suggestions and Feedback" forum.

If anyone wants to reopen that thread and show support, maybe we can get it set up.

The following journals deserve more attention than they actually get:

Duke Progress Journal - Duke
Logbook of an Aspiring Casanova - Krassus
Daily Journal for Cold Approaches - jwhite17
Boot Camp Journal - Walden
77 approaches and several shame attacks in 2 weeks! - Guitar Whizz

There are others, just cant remember off the top of my head. Is there something I'm missing with the Pug's worshipping?
I think part of it has to do with the fact that Pug's is overweight, so I guess it takes more 'guts' for him to be approaching these girls. If he looked like a model then it wouldn't be such a big deal, but he is just a regular looking guy at best. I'm guessing a lot of people on this site don't look anything like models either, so they can relate to him easier. It's also more inspirational because a lot of members can say "Well if he did it...so can I!" kinda thing.

Has anyone noticed what an @sshole Pugs was? Look back at the thread, Myself and several people tried to give him positive feedback and he b1tched us out.

Pugs was a dumbfukk who probably didn't approach one girl, he just wanted to be an internet hero so made up all this crap so people who don't have the ballz to approach girls themselves would worship him.

"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.

I think Pugsley just felt like he didn't owe us anything, and I guess that is true.

Still, the likelihood he found true love after 20+ approaches is either very hopeful or very misleading to those trying to repeat his act.


I think the odds of finding this success in roughly 20 approaches is very unlikely...

Funny, he DOES look like pugsley, mixed with a little Uncle Fester. I wonder if his girlfriend looked like Wednesday.

Hey Pugly hehehehe. why are you here in the first place? I you were meeting you must be meeting them already. not doing it here.
 

"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.

Its funny how that guy has more balls than half of the people on here....
Prove it

Prove that he even did one approach and didn't just make up a bunch a crap to be an internet hero.

Speak for yourself by the way, I am damn ballsy, I will approach any woman I feel like. I don't give a fukk.

But seriously, this thread is dead, he's not coming back. Read other posts people. There is nothing but fighting on this damn thread now.

This is the last time I'm going to waste time replying to this thread. You guys enjoy this "productive discussion".

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Man Talk about activity, you guys are worshipping me........

Hey guys, I see what happens when you change jobs without internet access and leave a post to sit a few monthes lol...

You all are worshipping me like a god, not that trust me. i just was tired of living in fear and wanted to overcome that fear and met a very nice girl along the way.

I broke up with her 2 monthes ago cause of differences in opinions and the fact that she loves to start arguments all the time and I hate drama so I just canned it, I can't live with that negative crap all the time. I will be back out in the hunt again though very soon using my old approach and will update it on here each time I do, I would really jsut want to find a girl thats good looking and something long term truthfully my priorities right now are not for a fling or str I want long term.

I will be in the hunt very soon, thats for all of your supprt and criticisms, I find that people who do something are always criticised by people who don't or haven't cause of self image....so this criticism doesn't bother me one bit. Thanks again guys ill keep you updated as I starting approaching again.

so you DUMPED this wonderful lovely PERFECT girl areter all of your oneitis posts?

I doubt it.

I always knew you'd be back though.
 

"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.
