"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Something I've noticed recently..if you're a single guy w/ a job right now living on your own you should be noticing an uptick in female attention. I certainly have. And it's super random stuff too. I'll get it just driving through my neighborhood when I'm stopped at a red light or when I'm pumping gas.

Anyone else notice this?

My point is if you're a guy on this forum who doesn't feel good about himself in regards to women/dating BUT you have your own place and job..you need to ease up on yourself. Those two things alone would put you in the top 20% right now. Seriously.
 

"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.

I've noticed just the opposite.

My success on OLD is worse than ever, and wearing a mask hides my handsome features.

I told another poster this via PM, but I'm pretty sure the pandemic funneled many more men into a market that was already heavily skewed in favor of women.

Since this sh1t started, I get basically the same amount of interest I always did, but none of them follow through.

I have no other explanation.

Around my area, women are getting super flirty with random dudes they encounter, but from what I understand they're lashing out and being argumentative with their husbands and boyfriends at home. That's what all my colleagues, friends, family and coworkers have been telling me.

I don't know if having a job and having your own place is a factor, because these women know nothing about myself or these guys they're approaching, but they're going out of their way to be flirtatious.

But as a caveat, just because they're flirting doesn't necessarily mean they want to jump in bed right away.

I suspect it might just be a case of cabin fever since nightlife is non-existent and they just want to feel the power trip they derive by giving guys false hope......

They're having c0ck-tease withdrawals
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
