"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

This is one of the biggest things to master when dealing with women. We read a ton of stuff about how to DHV, bust on her, disqualify her blah blah blah, and quite often we just talk ourselves into oblivion.

As an AFC, we do this either out of nervousness or the need to impress, or to give ourselves completely to our goddess so she can see all the wonderful things about us. As a wannabe DJ we do it to impress her with our DJness, or because we want to try out all of these cool techniques that are guaranteed to get us laid in 7 hours or whatever.

Make your words count. You only need to convey enough. Any more than that is too much. Any more than enough and your value goes into freefall. You look like you are showing off, desperate to keep her or explaning yourself, all of which are low value, low status behaviours.

Remember that women love mystery. However much you try to build yourself up in her eyes, it will never match up to her fantasies of the mysterious stranger. After all, however good you are, you still live life as an ardinary person every day. Leave it to her imagination and you are her knight in shining armour. Let her have the fantasy and fall in love with it. Let her paint her own pictures. The devil is in the detail!

Of course, in the first few minutes of meeting a woman you will neeed to lead the convo and push things on, but when you have her hooked, there's no need to talk her into the ground. Use broad brush strokes and let her fill in the rest.
 

"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.

As I said, at first you'll need to take the lead, but after this, when she starts showing some interest, asking about you, there's no need to spill your guts. That's what AFCs do all the time - just splurge all over her with their whole life story. Someone wrote on here a while back that she wants to unpeel you a layer at a time, like an onion, not just unravel you all at once. Give things to her slowly, a bit at a time. If she wants to know more, she'll ask. They're very nosey creatures and it will drive her mad trying to find out what you're about.

Great post.

On a semi-related note, there's a lot of talk on here about what to add to your "game" on this board, but not a lot of talk about things you may need to drop. Sometimes it's not a matter of adding, but rather subtracting.

Cutting the fat so to speak.

You may be surprised.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Good call... I've already experienced the power of mystery a couple of times, I shall try to amplify it even more.

Also about cutting the fat... this man speaks the truth!

Be careful not to go into "passive mode" by cutting down how much you talk. In fact, you still have to have more energy than she does. The moment she becomes bored, you're **** out of luck.

If you are on a planned date, you still gotta lead the conversation. Just don't reveal much about yourself, and keep the comments ****y/funny, and your golden.

Same goes with picking up girls, or talking on the phone. Make your words count, let your actions do the rest.

If you're stuck in a situation where you are forced to have conversation (ie. like driving in a car, moving from one place to another) dont leave any silence between you guys, again the key is to not talk about yourself. Observe your surroundings, try rapping with the song on the radio, tell her she has a spider in her hair, something! Keep it light and fun, always. Save the serious stuff for your guy friends, or your sister. Goodluck dudes!

Shut up and Listen. Make sure you give her just enough to keep on going, like putting gas in a car. Too much and you'll be f***** broke. Nice post BSnake
 

"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.
