"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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The next time I'm at a party I don't know, I'm dropping this line.

Hey! How's it going?
blah.
What you doing here?
blah, you?
Well, everytime I come to a party, I have to meet everyone. Where's yoru friends.

And off I go. I'm running that. I might even do that later on in a club....*gets ideas*..

Social proof isn't important to me because I live in a large City and I rarely ever see the same people twice when I am out on the town, it is much more important if you live in a small town where you see the same people everywhere you go.

Social proof makes things easier.

Say you're going to buy a car. You're in doubt which car you get. Then a friend comes and say X car is amazing! Does not break easily, has great gas mileage and awesome engine power.

You may not hurry to buy the car X, but you surely see it in a new perspective.

If nobody likes you, knows you, or even wants to talk to you, why should she?

If her friends don't like you, why should she like you?
 

"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.

Don't depend on people to make you go into state. Your best bet is to actually go by yourself and start going to parties by yourself whenever you get the chance. You will develop such a stronger inner game that when you do go out with friends it is way easier.

I used to be with friends 24/7, but after awhile I actually went out alone and realized I'm more in state when I'm alone than if I was with my friends. I used to use friends as a serious crutch and I was conscious of it too.

I'm with Snow Plowman, I always wanted friends around. I'm trying to find the courage to go by myself to clubs and parties. It may take me a while.

I've never really gone to a club by myself...but I will on many occassions just go out onto the dance floor and jam. I'm a dancer and just dancing is good drill work for me...gets your nervous system reacting well to the beat, etc. Plus its good cardio!

I find when I do this... I pretty much always have girls approaching me. One time (I was fairly inebriated on a number pharmacoactive compounds) I had a cougar go up my shirt...right in front of her bf/husband from the back....yes she used the "freak from behind" technique on me...amateurs! :D Later that evening I remember high fiving the dude! haha! Same night... I had HB8.0 come up to me and ask me to dance... I find the girls that have the confidence to initiate contact w/ me on the dance floor are generally HOT. Atleast HB7. Even last night, I was out w/ a friend, just wingmanning for him, and I had ample interest from a couple of HB7.5s...He didn't give the "execute" order, so we didn't attempt a pick up, but there was ample eye contact, occassional touching and good proximity. Later that night I had a HB7.0 grab my ass twice in rapid succession, before I called her on it. I have a gf so I wasn't interested.

So...I guess that's a tip for you guys...just go onto the floor and jam by urself...let the chicas come to YOU!
