"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.

Say why do guys sometimes 'censor' girls names in FRs?

I just wonder about that, seems pointless to me. Like when guys censor girls names as "HB7" and even hide their own real names. Do these guys honestly think that if they tell you a girls name is Marissa, somebody is actually going to know who that SPECIFIC Marissa you approached is? I mean even if they knew what state or country you lived, there's no way they could really boil it down to THAT specific girl, especially with no last names. Marissa is a very common name and the person would have to go through millions of Marissa's and still he wouldn't know who that exact Marissa was. Point is you give a girls name on a forum, an online rapist or something wouldn't be able to find her. Hiding girls names is rather pointless.
 

"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'm just saying, seems pointless. Almost makes it seem as if you think the girl isn't worthy enough to have her real name mentioned.

Well if somebody says HB7 i can see it, ut if somebody says marissa it could be and ugly marrissa or a hot one. More descriptive. And I know Marrissa, dont even think about it.

Yes, we probably all know a Marissa. Infact billions of people know a Marissa, that's how common the name is. But do billions know your specific Marissa? Not unless she's a celebrity or something.
 

"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.

Who knows, maybe that "Marissa" shows up and reads the post.

It's happened before.

Couple reasons:
1. Like navy said, HBx is a lot more interesting to the rest of us because it's a common nomenclature we all understand.
2. Some post can get very specific, moreso if it's about an LTR. You don't want the girl or someone who knows her stumbling on to the site and seeing this, however unlikey that might seem. My ex was recently on my computer and wanted to log into facebook. I later realized that she might have noticed "fa...stseduction.com".

If I remember rightly, it happened to Mystery, hence the creation of Mystery's lounge.

Also, don't lose any sleep over it flower.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah, but Mystery is a huge celebrity. If he gave out the names, it could actually put the girls in danger, because tons of people are going to see it.

yeah, but this was when he was not widely known and charged $300/400 a workshop. His fee is somewhere in the thousands now.

Well, you see, around my city, I'm kind of a big deal. :p
