"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So what is your take on sh!t tests related to her IL:

1.) She throws these tests and her IL still the same, she's just getting comfortable enough to start testing?

2.) She throws these tests because her IL is dropping, now she's trying to get you to prove yourself and raise it?

3.) She throws these tests for any Random/Irrational/Emotional externally influenced reason and her current IL is more or less irrelevant however it will be greatly influenced by our response?

4.) Other?

Any thoughts or observations?
 

"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.

I think women test all the time. They do it maybe even subconsciously.

The thing is women need to know if you have backbone. My ex and her mom were talking one day when we are at lunch, and her mom even mentioned that it seemed like I had backbone.

I don't know what the hell she was referring to when she said it, or how it applied to me to be honest. I'm sure it probably had to do with something about one of her ex boyfriends.

What we need to do is make a list of common tests.

I agree, swinggcat is THE source for the meta-frame, I learned that after meeting up w/ the guys at the Boston Lair.
