"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.

Which eBOOK or other source do you guys know of that provide actual stories that we could either use, or use as a framework and incorporate our own personal details to them?

Thanks for the help guys.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yup yup....

Doesn't even have to be a eBook or anything, even some articles or what not...

Any help?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Thanks cool dude. Move along.

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.

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.

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.
 

"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.

ANYTHING can trigger old memories though

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
