"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.

Simple **** test, question

Aite, got another micro-game question y'all, pretty basic, but I need some help.

I was at a smoothie shop today with a few friends, guys and girls. I go up and ask for an orange pineapple smoothie.

One of the girls, who I have had pretty good interaction with so far, promptly teases me: "omg, pineapple!? That's like the worst fruit" I respond, "Uhh you serious? It's probably the best fruit ever." Then she says, "No way, pineapple sucks!" I kinda chuckle/laugh it off, and then started talking to someone else.

On the surface this seems ok, and it's the way I've been handling minor banter/**** tests for a while now, but I've been thinking recently that this may not be the best way to end the back-and-forth.

It kinda seems to me that I'm leaving her with the last jab in the banter, and it also seems that by laughing it off, I can't think of a comeback (which was actually the case here, wasn't too sure what to say, so I ejected from the situation). Let me know if I'm just overthinking and overanalyzing this, by the way >_>

In any case, situations like these come up all the time for me, minor teasing/banter from both sides, the girl will get a jab in, and I brush/laugh it off (sometimes awkwardly). I feel like there are better ways to handle these situations (and opportunities to show my dominance to women/avoid demonstrating a lack of confidence >_>), but I'm not sure how to improve. Any tips? For starters, what could/should I have done in the smoothie situation?
 

"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.

@GMMR, aggressive. I like it. Always be closing, huh?

I'll certainly give it a try. There are some situations though in which closing immediately might be inconvenient (such as if I'm in a group of people), and responding to the **** test takes priority. Playing it cool with "you're crazy" seems pretty solid to me as well

Next time tell her when you walk up to her and pull out your phone: Hey X. I know what kind of smoothie you like. You want an Orange smoothie.

Orange you glad to be giving your number to this Smoothie. ;)

And give her your phone.

Just tell her to give you her number next time and you'll take her out for her "favorite pineapple" with THIS smoothie.

Don't waste time with banter at this point. Tell her to give you her number and you'll hang out sometime.

Always assume the best to the point of deliberate misinterpretation, so if you walk in and she says "so, you again?" your mind should be translating this to something like "ask me out already!", even if (hypothetically) she were to say it with a cold death stare. Anything, and I mean anything that comes out of her mouth in your direction ought to be interpreted as her flirting with you. I read an allusion to Glengarry Glenross above, so I'll take another quote from there and apply it to your situation with revision in bold:

"She's sitting out there waiting to give you her pvssy. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?"

Get in a mindset that will propel you in the direction of sealing the deal with her (ie asking for her number, asking to take her out) Go get it!
 

"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.

Girl:eek:mg, pineapple!? That's like the worst fruit
Old_skoolr: Oh I dont drink it for me, I drink it for the girls I date.

If you dont get it, pineapple is known to make your semen taste better.

I love a girl who can banter. Nothing more fun then that, and after its over. You give her your phone and go "Chuck your number in and we'll go for round 2"
