"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.

Well it started well. If you read my September thread, I reached the goal of meeting 100 new women. Now this month I may go out with a few of them.

I will keep stats of all the new women I meet this month. It'd be great to meet 100 new ones this month as well, but Im not going to structure my social life around it as I had to at the end of last month to meet the goal. Sometimes going out too much was wearing me down!

I would guess last night that I met at least 15 women. I got 3 email addresses but this was back in my hometown where I don't live anymore.

So some goals I've thought about are the following

1) Work on some new openers/routines, and really work on cold reading. The cold reading stuff works great in night clubs. That and just being very outgoing and friendly. I noticed for sure when I offerred a bit of info about myself I could open a girl up and get her talking. Then i got her talking more and the rapport really grew.

2) Around the world- How many countries/nationalities of women can I meet?

3) Plus i have a multitude of fitness/financial/etc and career goals which I'll be more disciplined about in setting and going for them
 

"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.

welcome to my world
I'm not supposed to post in this forum because I'm not 25, but I tried PM'ing you once to no avail.

Anyway, I just wanted to say this idea of "talking to" a certain number of women per month is great idea.

It is usually what I do, I just don't keep count, but surely I've talked to over 50 or so in the past two weeks. You should double post this in Discussion or something, because most guys are simply daunted by the "cold approach," and this is a much better way to go about things. I personally just talk to and meet women because, 1) I enjoy it very much, and 2) I can't be closing all the time anyway because I often see them more than once.

Still, you've done something great by posting this, keep up the awesome work! Of course, I should say keep up the awesome fun! ...because that's really all it is.

As for ...

Work has taken up my time lately. I've been working super late hours so nothing new to report.

But Saturday I"m going out with a girl that I'm friends with (my friends girlfriend). Should be good social proof and a great opportunity for networking with a cool group.

Oh should be hitting a Lair meeting in the afternoon too on Saturday. That willl be quite interesting.

Since I moved to this new town, I realize I haven't had a wingman at all.

Coworkers are a bad choice for wings. Everything that happens when we go out gets broadcast at work the next day, so it isn't a good thing.
 

"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.

Havent added much but I will say 2 things

1) I'm glad I hit the gym today, it took all I could do to go their before work

2) Going to read this book by Kyle Maynard "No Excuses". The guy was born without arms and legs and is a competitive wrestler. Looks to be a really inspirational story.
