"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.

So I sneak into this 21 and up bar tonight, went to the balcony and just watched people and I noticed how most guys look like they're about to kill someone! Anyone else notice this?

And I also notice that alot of them are insecure... hands in their pockets, beer in front of them, unconsciously blocking people from interaction... all that stuff.

I didn't really see anyone approach girls either, but I wasn't really looking for that.

For some reason I get really nervous in clubs/bars, I guess it's because I'm intimidated by all of the other guys and gorgeous women, plus the fact that i'm only seventeen.

being seventeen is also another problem, because if i hook up with a woman, where the hell am I supposed to take her, 20 miles south to my house where my parents are sleeping? LOL

I can't even rent a hotel room, because you need to be 18. So I guess the only place would be her house.

Stupid age limitations. Seriously.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yeh me and my friends call them posers. Me and my friends aren't like that in the clubs really..we don't even go clubbing to hit on women funnily enough, we just go to get drunk as hell and have a crazy time and make jokes. I usually get digits when I go out though even I don't try for it, or even follow up on it.

I dance when I go to clubs, I love dancing! Most guys are to stressed when they go to clubs because they are to concerned about hooking up but are to worried about rejection so they all look stressed out.

Clubbing is all about having fun. When you are having fun people around you are also having fun. I also love dancing. I alway try to smile and look like I am enjoying myself.

Well the fact is, 75% or somewhere around that of people have public performance anxiety and thats what clubs are largely. You, possibly a few friends, and a crapload of strangers. Guys just have a primal fear of it which is reflected by their body language, an unconscious phobia which most do not have enough balls to face. Those who do have the nutsack, have conquered the fear and are on the dancefloor, making approaches and having fun.

I have noticed though, that there is a small portion of people who subconsciously need tons of attention and being in the center of attention. These people dont just get used to being in extremely social situations, they CRAVE for it, being the dance floor king at clubs, actively seeking to communicate with large groups of people, give speeches, and so on.

Vice, dont worry about the age man. Enjoy the atmosphere, live it out, step over the comfort borders and the fear will dissipate. Forget about the age. Its all about how you convey yourself. Searching for outside causes is pointless. I have experienced the change, and it is coming from a former extreme sociophobic.
 

“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.

You know what... I really love going to clubs. I know the types of guys you're talking about. Well, it's most guys. You know, the ones who haven't gotten over their own egos? Whatever, they might as well not even be there. I ignore them. I've been in enough situations to know that they're not worth even thinking about other than as a tool for knowing what NOT to do. It's like the 80-20 rule. 20% of the guys you see are the ones picking up and scoring with the majority of the women.

that's just the stuff that's in the back of my mind.

i don't care what people think of me - especially guys. even some of my "good friends" talk sh.it and bust balls, but whatever. if anything it's groomed me to not care even more.

so many guys have approach anxiety that generally speaking, most of the times i approach at a club i get good responses and flow from there. the worst i get are moderate responses with a lukewarm buying temperature.

i stopped going to clubs just to pick up on women. now i find i like going to clubs to just escape, listen to music, and let loose a bit. a big driver for me is the DJ. so if my friends come along or i go by myself, i'm going to have a good time regardless. and that sort of positive vibe you put out is attractive. besides, i enjoy day game more.

most attractive girls have shields up at clubs anyway. they test and test, because they can, and because they want to feel for who you are as a man. a lot also know they're attractive and will expect guys to say some dumb sh.it - most guys fawn and flatter to gain approval. "damn you look good" - that's just stating a fact like the sky is blue. it's unnecessary.

if i see a girl who interests me i'll make my way over to her, make eye contact and say hello and go from there. i build a bit of rapport and escalate to dancing/isolation or eject and find her later. but i really don't give it too much thought anymore. i've become comfortable with myself to the point where i know that how i feel about myself and my life is not determined by what a random stranger thinks of me. if she rejects me flat-out, whatever. her loss. i know i have value, i'm not just a piece of trash.

don't worry about the age thing. you'll be old enough before you know it.

enjoy tapping 16 year old booty while you can! haha.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is true and you should be taking advantage of it. Go to the dancefloor, grab some chicks and create social value, have a good time. You'll get more girls as time goes by.

It's like being at a local concert. Half the people in the crowd dance and cheer. While the other stand with there hands in their pocket just watching. Either way it does not bother me what they do. As long as your having fun. Some people are just shy and don't know how to let themselves go at certin events.
