"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.

Just another example of how social status can sometimes trump looks.

Without getting too much into it...
a friend got a chance to go to vegas with a camera crew following him around filming him.
So it looked like he was some sort of "somebody".
He is very overweight, not unkempt or anything...but he's no Brad Pitt.

He said it was just incredible. Chicks were just SWAMPING him. Chicks would walk right up to him and hand him their numbers (hotel room numbers too) and all sorts of crazy shyt. And yeah, he f-closed easily.
 

"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.

Did he f-close with them not knowing that he wasn't really some kind of V.I.P. or something? Or did it just never come up and they just assumed the whole time that he was, or what?

Social proof shouldn't be thought about. It just comes when you are living the good life. If you're trying to show social proof just for a girl, then it's all just smoke and mirrors.

"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.

Inhaling smoke is bad for the lungs and the mirrors will break if she's ugly.

From what I understand, they didn't really care. He was someone who was commanding alot of attention. And he was getting access to some hard to get into events.

One of the chicks he ended up with ditched her husband (or he might have been a boyfriend/sugardaddy or something) to be with him.
