I really like the way you think man, all about cut the bullsh!t. I've read some of your threads, entertaining to say the least. Te chutes and ladders was golden. You're in the O.C? Next time you're in L.A hit me up, I'll buy you a beer.
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 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.
When a newbie does it by the book once, gets rejected, and then cries, he's missing the point. Becoming a natural at this stuff takes time, years, your whole life even. One of the most important things you can do you improve your interactions with girls is to... *drum roll* meet a lot of them. How is your mind ever going to calibrate itself to girls if you rarely speak to them? How are you ever going to reach a level where talking with women and creating attraction requires no thought, no thinking, all you need are your autopilot responses, if you sit on the side lines and browse forums like these for days at a time?!dbot said:Here's what I see happening:
New guy shows up
New guy asks AFC question
New guy gets replies to "read the bible"
New guy reads bible
New guy follows all the rules in the bible
New guy still fails
New guy begins to over-analyze the bible
New guy wonders if he should have waited 4 days to call instead of 3
New guy wonders if his neg-hit was too negative
New guy creates a topic asking more stupid questions
New guy sits in the corner and cries
So what's wrong with this guy? Could it be his technique?
"It can't be! I'm doing everything by the book!"
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.
