"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.

Can living in the same place every year of your life affect your ability to pull girls if you have a rep fro being notoriously bad at doing so?

I've lived in the same exact house for all 16 years, meaning I went to the same elementary school, middle school, and am now going to the same high school with these people and have tried to bag most of the girls I find worthwhile but no luck. The boundaries for the school basically call for no new people after middle school, and we all know girls talk to one another about their experiences with certain guys.

This year I even tried to start focusing more on the freshman girls, since I never really talked to the younger kids in middle school, but I haven't had any success yet. I might have deeper gaming problems than I think if thats the case but idk. Opinions?
 

"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.

Well first off, you're situation is no different than millions of other teenagers. There are a ton of people that have gone to the same elementary, middle, and high school with the same kids their entire life.

Secondly, social proof is definitely a big part of high school game. Imo, the best way to counter act this is to just be as social as possible to everyone you see, boys and girls. Pretend like there is no bad rep holding you back. If you truly believe there is a bad rep thats bringin down your game, then it actually will bring down your game.
