I have been seeing six women this month and three of those women always initiate text conversations with "Hey handsome". These three turn out to be low quality, the other three seem to be normal and open a conversation with a good morning or similar. Is this an opening line that low quality girls have. Is there a correlation. Any experience? Reminds me of dudes who open with hey beautiful.
"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.
Should a woman who opens up a text conversation with " Hey handsome" be a red flag?

"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.

Any opinion on love bombing? Learning about the idea of it fairly recently, seems to be exactly what I've had an experience with recently.

Overthink alert. Cut that bad behavior.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
It's nothing more than a slightly more personal level of social communication. Means nothing. I've had grocery cashiers use the word Honey with me before. I usually throw them a joke line about us not having been on a date yet in return.
For the Handsome remark, a simple joking We both agree on that, reply will do.

Go will the flow, and if she smacks you on the ass, say:
"lay OFF, that's private property!"
"lay OFF, that's private property!"

Interesting. What kind of reactions have you gotten?
These girls who call you honey or sweetie always puzzle me. I know they say it to everyone, I'm just a little confused as to why. Are they just very personable, friendly, and outgoing? Or are they confused as to where appropriate boundaries with strangers and/or clients should be?

Yeah, in my recent experience, it means she probably talks to her friends about you like that as well. It's good to have friends of friends = constant and never-ending new and fresh poon.

I'm getting "Sweetie" a lot lately from OLDER women who are complete strangers - like my first encounter with them. It's bizarre and I nuance it almost as if I think it's bizarre. They can see it in my face slightly. I don't know WHY they do it. Could be just bad social skills. I mean, there are other people standing (all strangers) around as well. I just let her do it, even though I'm a bit puzzled and my face may Slightly show I'm puzzled (not overtly). It's a calibration to not seem offended and to accept her kind gesture of "sweetie." I take it all in stride. And I'll grin and turn my head. It takes being around and FVCKING dozens of females to be able to implement the subtleties and weave in and out to confuse them right back, a "back at ya" "awwww" "she called me 'sweetie'..." "well, I do have my faults, but..." "I've been known to put a woman in tune with Nature..." Just don't get fired or embarrass yourself with your comebacks.
Sweetie is my least favorite "term of endearment".
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Ok what terms of endearment do you use with women, such as working on a new possible plate? I always used the generic 'babe'..seemed to work.
Damn it. I miss flirting in the workplace. Career chicks r so unfeminine now. They all stride around like men and r so aggressive. Women used to provide balance. Now it's like having twice as many alpha douches.

As a fellow Aussie, I feel you. Office politics gets even worse.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
