"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What can you do during the first 5-10 seconds of a phoneconversation (whether you are the caller, or the one beeing called) to set the tone for the rest of the conversation (who is the leader and who's not)?

Any type of neg hitting, c/f attitude....

Tell me what you've tried and what worked/didn't!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Not acting like an @sshole usually works best.

If you call a girl up and setup a date on _your_ terms based upon what you like to do and what you prefer, and know she'll like it too (and if she doesn't you have a backup plan) you're being a leader right there. You should do this for most of your dates if not all for a number of reasons I wont get into atm.

Neg hitting and C/F don't make her think "Oh, he's a leader"

Neg hitting is for knocking them of a pedestal if they think they are on one, (acting aloof, snooty, stuck up) and it works quite well. After they are off it (however they can jump back on!) there is no reason to neg hit and it can actually hurt you if it's out of context and doesn't jive with what's going on between you two. For instance if you're having a conversation about how Angelina Jolie is a super star slut and you all of a sudden throw a neg hit on her you're way off base...although a C/F comment ... as long as it's funny...would be ok in most cases.

C/F is for getting their emotions going, showing her that you're not intimidated by her, and that you are a fun guy, but shouldn't be used ALL the time IMO. Think of it as the salt on your steak dinner. I just haven't had the best responses when I've gone all out with C/F without having a good conversation about something or telling a great story...plus it's not part of my personality to act like that anyway.

If you feel uncomfortable about phoneing her. Well thats the impression I get from you, phone a mate up beforehand and have a laugh with him, this will help switch your mind state then give her a call and ask her what shes been upto since you last saw her then organise a date..simple eh ?

You dont need to be C & F

You don't need to overanalyze C/F in phone calls in my experience. Because women cannot see your facial expressions, too much C/F can be very ackward if she doesn't get it most of the time. I try to have fun with the call by being myself, and C/F usually flows smoothly without much effort. Make your approach to phone conversation very casual like you are BSing with a good friend about some private joke. Modify your intensity based on her response. If she laughs out loud, set the date and end the call quickly on a good note.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Ok, seems like i forgot to mention two things that appearantly need to be mentioned.

1) We are not talking about a specific girl/phone call. We are talking about general guidelines.

2) Im not looking for ways to totally crash the confidence of an already shy girl by doing a major neg-hit. Imagine this snooty girl calling you and you just want to start off the conversation in a funny but still kind of rude/****y way.

PS. Please, no more tips on how to get in the right mindset for the conversation (like calling a friend before or something). I have no problems regarding those issues.
