"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I find that PUA techiques work on the zero to seven's quite well and my success rate with these ladies is quite high, even with little effort. But above this is a disaster!!!

So how do I enter into this territory?

Let me paint scenarios to illustrate my point:

1) In the rehearsal studio where my band practices, works a hb9. She has a huge b%tch shield which is understandable as every single wannabe rock dude tries to put a move on her. She always has that look that says "dont even try". My ego wouldn't let me just be another guy and join the list with those other guys whom are trying to get her attention and chat her up. Accordingly I was always really indifferent towards her and sometimes a bit arrogant when I saw her. Over time she would start talking to me once she realised I wasn't just another one of those guys in the studio trying to hit on her and I seemed like I didn't give a crap about who she was. We gradually got a bit closer, and then when I made a move she freaked out and her face looked like I had betrayed her!! We barely speak much at all now.

Now in this scneario I felt my only other option was to join the line of other losers tyring to impress her. What does a guy do in these cases??? Your wisdom would be appreciated.

2) Similarly in the cold apprach when you see a HB8 or above, there is always a look that says "I am super hot and I have learnt that guys wont leave me alone and are never really just being friendly". Now my natural instinct is to pretend that I dont care and am not blown away by her, but yet I never seem to get anything from these chicks either when I try on them.

Please offer your advice guys.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'd say you could still be polite, engage in small talk however I wouldn't expect anything to come of it. Just occupy your life with other women & hobbies. She may or may not warm up to you. Either way you shouldn't be bothered.

2) Similarly in the cold apprach when you see a HB8 or above, there is always a look that says "I am super hot and I have learnt that guys wont leave me alone and are never really just being friendly".

No offense but how would you say you measure up in the looks department? Are you well groomed, well dressed, are you in shape? Game alone won't get you there with some HB8s & above. You'll want to upgrade everything you possibly can it makes your chances that much higher. If you're already near you max why not say fvck & just talk? Worst that can happen is she blows you off.

Please offer your advice guys.
I'm only a lad so my advice may not be too beneficial so I'll let sage Kailex & the other seasoned guys put in there 2 cents.

No offence taken at all. For what its worth, and I delicately say this, most of my life people have commented on how handsome I am. My only drawback is I am not tall - only 5'6 but I have often found myself in scenarios where people will comment on my looks. In fact I have learn't that looks mean very little for guys and I have watched guys that look wiered pick up stunners!

Sometimes, these weirdos have money or status in some way.

IMO, PUA material, like you said, is for normal guys who don't have a lot of good luck with women and want some kind of edge in meeting women over the more handsome guys.

Some women have entrance exams i.e. Be over 6 feet, be muscular, be rich, etc. or you're out.

I've noticed absolutely nothing is set in stone. Looks seem to mean very little for women as well as I've seen some hideous chicks trap some pretty good looking guys so I'd say it works both ways. As Judge Nismo said, some chicks do have some physical qualifications. So your height may be a problem but again nothing is set in stone. However in my experience looking better puts you ahead especially if you manage to add some solid game & status to the equation.

I'd say try a thing man. Approach & see what happens, I'd also advice you keep some HB7s in stock to satisfy your sexual needs so you have that extra boost to tackle the bigger game. :D
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Those women aren't worth your time anyway.

I met this one ages ago that had a problem with my height and I shot back with "Well, you're obviously not a size 2 or less and it looks like you're smaller than a D-cup, so you're a no-go too.":crackup:

youd already shown yourself not to be the typical horn dog...and she'd placed you in the "cool guy" camp,

this is what id call a slow burn... i'd not expect anything from it but treat it more for practice and fun!

what id have probably done is keep the indifference, and possibly slowly build up the C+ F over time, (you knew you were gonna see her often so its ok) if you get some positive responses/ioi's keep doing it slowly , but defonately not trying to close (preventing her chode alert from triggering)...if she keeps seeing you being alpha and having many other chicks around you (or finds out indifrectly you have lots of options) her attraction may be triggered and increase, if her Interst level gets high enough where shes clearly wanting/or even begging you to ask her out, then do do it (maybe after holding out for a little bit to wind her up more!)

by doing this is she never gets any attraction for you and so you havent lost anything...id say just be indifferent again and if she starts talking to you again then take it from there (like you did origionally) but on the slower burn

2) Similarly in the cold apprach when you see a HB8 or above, there is always a look that says "I am super hot and I have learnt that guys wont leave me alone and are never really just being friendly". Now my natural instinct is to pretend that I dont care and am not blown away by her, but yet I never seem to get anything from these chicks either when I try on them.
hmmm... the hottie can afford to have high criteria for qualifying guys, as the have much more choice...

may be this is kinda obvious but if i said "try not to be picking them up/hitting on them when talking to them"... which is what most guys dont do, maybe that is a start

hotties also often respond well to stronger C+F

try qualifying them?

you already said indifference is good...
------------
OP you should post a picture....so we can see what u look like (there was a thread last week where the guy said he was extremly attractive , but turned out to be fat...! :rolleyes: )

OP- money+status to get the true 8's-10's and they usually go hand in hand.

Think about how different the interaction goes when you also own the rehearsal studio where your band practices and she works. You have to be BEYOND her. Think about some popular actor approaching a college girl and how outside of her reality he is to her and how she would react to him. Thats the reaction you want and its created by status/money (assuming your using your money in the correct way)

Right now your just like all the other band guys that want her. If she's going to be with a band guy shes going to be with the highest status band guy of the place or someone outside of the place thats not even associated with it. You should be able to use your band status thing for girls outside of the scene though.

Please offer your advice guys.
Girl #1 warmed up to you AS A FRIEND because you did a good job of showing DISinterest. The reason she acted as though you "betrayed her trust" when you came on to her is because that's EXACTLY what you did...you sold her on an image that's not you.

You're attracted to her and you hid that from her and got into an intimate position as a "friend". You tried to CON your way into her panties. When you got "found out", she treated you like she would if she found out a confidence-man had infiltrated her life. Now, suddenly, she realizes that you're not a FRIEND, but a SUITOR posing as a friend...one who has already acquired some compromising authority and is trying to pull an "inside job".

So what do you do differently? Well, you're half-right. You have to not care who she is or what her status is as an eligible female. The ****iness is on the right track.

But you need to be able to SHOW your romantic interest, not HIDE it. You have to be able to show that you're interested in her romantically while at the same time not being intimidated or manipulated by her beauty.

Do you think that just because a woman is attractive that she dislikes being around men? Doubtful. In fact, the whole reason that attractive women develop these "elaborate defenses" is because they know that if they DON'T, they WILL succumb to all the random pick-up attempts that are thrown at them. You'll find that if you know how to OPEN an attractive girl, they're generally not the "b!tches" you think they are.

I can almost guarantee that when you "made your move" on this girl, it probably felt awkward and uncertain to you. Imagine how it must've felt to HER. Add to that the fact that she was sold on your disinterest, and BAM, instant creep-out.

You have to make NO secret of the fact that you're interested in her, but you have to also not be tied to the results of your so-called "approach". I've always hated the term, "approach", on this forum because it implies that the act of "approaching" is a distinct event done in a vacuum, rather than part of a natural socialization/seduction flow. Guys get DEEP into relating with a girl and think because they haven't "approached" yet, they haven't "blown it" yet, but the whole time this girl is formulating an opinion of you as a potential mate, and you're not measuring up...the fact that you haven't TRIED yet isn't buying you anything.

I know what you're feeling as far as, "I don't want to be another rejected douchebag on her list". Every guy feels that...it's an ego-thing. But the only sure-fire way of not being rejected is not to give it a shot at all. So you kinda HAVE to take the "douchebag shot".

So how to be DIFFERENT from "those guys"?

First of all, get it out of your head that you're in COMPETITION with these guys. You're not.

Guys around a pretty girl will ALL try to upstage each other, try to impress each other and prove that they're more masculine than the next in an attempt to impress the girl. That sh*t just doesn't work... a girl that good-looking has seen it all and if YOU are trying that hard to upstage your buddies in front of her, she KNOWS she can get a guy BETTER than you at whatever it is you're trying to do.

The first rule is to relate, not compete. Eyes on the prize...focus on the girl, rather than who you have to "compete with" to get her.

Behave as if you HAVE no competition...as if it's just you and this girl and a room full of married guys or old dudes. When you're trying to relate with her, focus on RELATING WITH HER, not on impressing her more than the next guy. Let the aspects of you that you express well and that you enjoy expressing be the things that she sees. (If you don't have any of those aspects, maybe you should start developing them)

Understand that with an attractive girl, most of you guys are interchangeable. You may think upstaging your "douchebag competitors" will make you the king and she will want to be your queen...in reality, you'll just be king of of the douchebags. That's why hot girls roll their eyes...because they've seen it all before, and when you're competing, you're making it all about YOU, not HER. Remember the Disney movie, "Aladdin"? Don't make her into a prize to be won.

That means you have to be looking at this interaction not from the perspective of, "How do I get her?", but from the perspective of, "What can she offer me if I spend time with her?".

The reason you do so well with the 7s is because you aren't interested in 'getting them', you're interested in finding out more about them, whether they can/want to give you pleasure, interesting conversation, or companionship, and what the value of that is. You go on FEEL with them, challenging THEM to show you a good time while also showing THEM a good time.

With the 9s, you give them too much credit for just looking good. There's no interaction, there's no desire from YOU to know more about her. She looks good and "that's enough for you". You've decided that you want this, without knowing a damned thing about her.

I mean, how would you feel if every girl you met wanted to f**k you, but because you're another hot d*ck? It'd be fun at first, but after a while, you wouldn't derive much of a sense of accomplishment or special-ness from it. It wouldn't be a unique part of your experience...it'd become more of a hassle because girls were using you like a piece of meat. They don't like you because you're special, different, unique...they don't care about YOU as long as you look good and stay hard. I don't care how macho you want to be, that'd get old after a while.

If you want to get the 9s, you have to be able to do with THEM what you do with the 6s and 7s. And that includes truly being able to let them go when you're not having a good time with them, instead of hanging around like a lost puppy looking for affection. I've seen even the meanest dogs follow their master around, trying to impress them and looking for a nugget of approval. Women don't want dogs. They want men.

That my friend is indeed a good question.

Let me know if you find an answer.
 

"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.

The answer is no amount of pick-up stuff. They are just girls. Just like other girls. Maybe they are very lonely too because nobody dares to approach them or she only gets attention from losers who call themselves PUA's who think that girls don't have brains just because they are good looking. And that makes them even lonelier. So hey, maybe of you're just social and having a good time things might work out.
