Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.

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.
 

"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 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.
