Reyaj
Master Don Juan
How about just people in general? Do you change the way you stare if there is a guy approaching rather than a girl?
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
i doubt this would ever lead to anything. you need atleast some rapport.Originally posted by SamMalone
Bump good topic.
So what about if you're in your car and a HB8-HB10 pulls up beside you....do you just look over at her and smile?
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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Totally understood... in a very real sense, we ALL are relatively analytical in this field we call Pick-Up. I read a book called "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Dr. Maxwell Maltz (a gem of a book if you're studying the power of self-image.) and he made the analogy of how underwater guided missiles actually reach their target.Brak86 said:its alright....he is exactly like me, a very analytical thinker. We like to get everything down to an exact science. When, in actuality, you have to be natural. Thats the part of me i try to improve every day. Being natural and not thinking too much. But he needs to learn techniques and all that jazz before he can start being natural.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Hey there, Mr. Stalker.Don't look at a girl with hungry eyes even if she's really hot or wearing something incredibly tight. If you feel the urge to stare her down, then don't let her catch you. Otherwise, it will make you appear as if you have ill intent (i.e. rape). If you get caught looking, make sure you are looking at her face. Girls like it when a guy looks into their eyes and not at their assets. These days the latter constitutes sexual harassment.
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.
