"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.

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
 

"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 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.

If you want a real post, check out Avatar's or Don Joffe's Bootcamp Journal.

"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.

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".

"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.

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.
 

"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.
