"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.

She gave threw it in the bag without ringing it up, gave me a look and I smiled. Going into this purchase I was in a very quiet non-pick-up mood. She was hot but I noticed a rainbow belt, so I figured she was gay.

I said "The last person that did that for me. . I got their number" and she laughed and said "Well you don't get mine. . . . I have a boyfriend"

I just smiled and said thank you very much, the last girl that did that for me was 19 (I'm 17) and things turned out great the two times we hung out (all available in my threads of the past), then I ended up finding out I was just a flesh dildo. :yes:
 

"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.

Pickup has that unintended consequence of making people cool and more social. I get discounts, freebies, and comped bennies all the time just from being social with staff, whether it be at a bar, Macy's, Autozone, etc. It's amazing how easy it is to talk to people. Just lead the conversation and be nice. It stuns me to this day how few people are really like this. You'd think everyone would say it, but they dont. Something as simple as "Busy day, eh?" and they usually light up and start talking.

To overcome my extreme shyness since the summer i've been starting conversations with people. Stores that i go to are alot of times never packed or even have long lines so cashiers/employees (mostly female) just stand there bored out of their minds.
Most of the time when i've talked to people they're all ears with a big smile on their face, they wanted to be pulled away from their dull environment.

"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.

All I get is hoodrats and trashy chics giving me free fries all the time. Well, not any more, no more fat food...I mean fast food for me.

But seriously, having convos with people on a regular basis will get you so much. So many customer service people have to deal with attitudes and complaints all day they love to see someone who is pleasant and actually interested in them, they will bend over backwards for you.

Looks like you shrugged off the 'ol stinkin' thinkin'. Good job.

I used this and got a number! it can be really easy, most staff just want some human conversation, obviously they're sick n tired of bull **** complaints and ignorant arragont customers.
 

"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.

I agree with what you said, but isn't it ironic that pickup leads you to "be nice". When one of the first things they tell you is not to be the "nice guy". Things come full circle, I guess.

Noone tells you not to be nice, they tell you not be someone girls think of as a 'nice guy.' There's a BIG difference.
