Anyone here ever been into the rave scene, or been to a rave? I used to go but got tired of it. I still hear people talk about how easy it is to meet and hook up with girls at raves, but from what I remember, that's not the case. What do you think??
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.
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.
No sh!t.....I was at the Monster Massive too. It was pretty fun, but I was wasted. You think you could have hooked up? I always thought so too, but when people are on E, they're really "friendly" but I don't think they actually want to hook up. Sure, I've seen lots of people hook up, but it' still only a very small percentage. Then again, maybe it's just me...hence the question.War Against Betaism said:It is so easy to hook up with girls at raves because everyone is rolling (on ecstasy), I only went to one, the past Monster Massive. I was meeting girls left and right and could have probably fingered or made out with them. If I was drunk I would but I thought it was so dirty, this girl that my friend just met was rubbing his hands all over this girl's leg and she loved it and had his fingers in her panties. I guess I didn't drink enough to enjoy it and I don't wanna do ecstasy.
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.
Where you from man? I'm in the valley. I remember the light shows, those e-tards love that sh!t man. When I used to go I never really tried to hook up with the girls, but the sh!t they wear is amazing....and some of them are friggin hott. Have any of your boys pulled girls from raves? You shoulda at least made out with a few if you could have.War Against Betaism said:lol I expected at least a couple of people from this site to have went.
It was probably what I was wearing then, my friend gave me these glasses that had lights on them and everywhere I went people were always saying "nice glasses dude!" One person while I was sitting down even crawled (yeah, crawled!) to say how cool my glasses were. I guess you could say I was really peacocking :s
Might be the group I was with too, they literally go to every single rave and are relatively known throughout LA country and the OC...kinda. I didn't really know anyone except for one person though. All of them gave bomb lightshows and girls were always sitting in front of them asking for a lightshow while the other people in the group swarm in like vultures to feel them up (where she let them willingly).
