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.

"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.
"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.
Thanks cool dude. Move along.New2Town said:
I have plenty of stories already, but I'm always looking for others to have up my sleeve to be able to introduce in different situations. It's something I'm good at, so I'd like to maximize this skill by seeing other stories and using them as a framework and/or reminders of my own.
Now if anybody has anything like this, please let me know...
If you have so many stories, then why look for others? You can't create stories and then have people ask about them later and forget about what you said. It's easier to tell the truth than it is to lie.fea8899 said:
Here's a template for your stories...
Last _______ (insert day), I went to ________ (insert place). When I was there, _________________ (insert funny thing that happened) and I was __________ (insert emotion).
It's not a template I'm looking for. It's reading other peoples' stories that will trigger memories in my own life that I can spin in a humorous way. Take a look at the thread above with Mystery's new video about his niece...it just reminded me of some funny experience I had with my little cousin that I can now use in the field.New2Town said:
Stop wasting energy trying to undermine me and just be a help if you can. If not, just ignore this thread. For your own sake homey.

These books ought to give you a good start.
If you want a specific exercise (which you will have to do for about 15 minutes a day for a 2-3 weeks AT LEAST) that you can do which will increase by ALOT the neuron connections in your brain, such that you can pretty much link ANYTHING in anybody's story to pretty much ANYTHING else in your history, other peoples stories, anything else., PM me.
You want to also check out something called "Nested Loops". They can be powerful as well.
"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.

ANYTHING can trigger old memories thoughfea8899 said:
just go look at some old photos. or when you're talking to the girl, feed off what she says and let it remind you of something similar that happened to you
