"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Any of you guy's in here get abit pissed off with your nerdy loser friends when you go out?.

I'm starting to think it's better to get out there on your own! .. i mean, my friends are all very conservative and are'nt very confident and it's starting to really get to me.

Just wonder if anyone else is having the same problem?.. ditch the friends and go solo and risk being judged a guy with no mates .. or stick with the losers?.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

You will be as successful as the average of your 5 closest friends.

This is true for all areas of life, including dating. Wanna get successful with women? Surround yourself with people who are already there.

I'm with you. My "main" group of friends (including my roommate) is married couples, LTRs, or complete AFCs that show no interest in looking for girls.

Once or twice a week I hang with this other group of 3 (sometimes 4) single guys. One of them is pretty good with getting girls, another is "good" in the sense he gets girls (4's and 5's on my scale, however). The other two have not only c0ckblocked me a few times, but they are just so horrible in social situations.

So, my 2 main choices are... do nothing with the married/AFC people... or go out with some good wingmen, and some that cancel that out.

I don't like going alone. I can't get into a rhythm. I think a lot of this could be because I am still new at all of this, so I don't have as many strategies worked out for going at it alone.

Personally, I think it's best to go with friends. Sometimes you can break away from them for a bit. But other times, you can kinda use them to your advantage, depending on what the conversation is.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

It was my first cold approach i got her number tho , but nothing came of it , was prolly my fault i texted her right after to make sure the number was real , i was surprised that i got her real number after such a embarrassing approach. i say bring your friends , but dont use them , just put them to shame

I'm out by myself a lot, and 99 % of my gaming involves just me and another girl or two. So, if you don't mind eating at restaraunts by yourself, going to the movies by yourself, or other places where groups tend to congregate, then you should be fine. The downside to all of this is that your initial perceived social value is probably going to be lower than the guy with his group of friends. Still, there's freedom in it. It gives you all sorts of oportunities to approach and game waitresses among other women.

Solo is the worst way to go. Unless you're like a badass biker or some heavy weight type that intimidates by default then solo should be avoided. Not saying those are the only tough guys out there but you'll catch more flack from c0ckblockers by being solo than with a crew or even just a wingman. Me and my boys used to go everywhere like twenty deep and atleast half of us scored most of the time.

Get a wingman and make sure they know whats up. Spell things out if you have to. First, new girls, you help him and he helps you. No c0ckblocking of each other. No butthurt tantrums for gaming chicks the other one likes but was to pvssy to call out beforehand. Second, callouts, your boy calls a girl he likes then you respect it. Period. Third, outsiders, someone starts some sh!t with you or is trying to c0ckblock you, you step up and put it down. Back each other up without question. Lastly, accommadations, You run blocker for him and him for you. Anything you need, a place to bang a chick or she's got a friend who needs attention, you man up and provide.

So much crap to deal with that solo is the worst way to go. In my opinion anyway.
 

"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.

:rolleyes: Going solo is only the worst way to go if your not comfortable and confident enough to go out by yourself.

Ive spoken many times in the pass on here and on my blog that going solo is the best thing you can do for your game? why?

1. You have to approach--you can be the creeper playing the wall or the socially alpha guy, talking to people at the bar, cracking jokes, and flirting with the women

2. No conflict--My most epic moments in the field have been when i went out by myself, make outs, insta-date, 3 somes etc. Sometimes your wing can be a ****blck not on purpose but because the chick you talking to might be attracted to him more

Going out solo is for guys who wanna advanced, Ive gone out tons of time solo never got into a fight, never got fccked with etc

It sounds to me like you just need to stop hanging around losers.

I'm not pointing any fingers, but they say the way people percieve you is as a culmination of your five closest associates. Five losers equals one hell of a loser.

I've been saying that for a long time. Most wingmen are not INTENTIONALLY trying to ****block you or steal your girl, but when the girl sees both of you, she will NATURALLY compare you to him. I don't care how ALPHA you are (or think you area), if your wingman is more her physical type, you're toast. It's game over, at least with her.

Even if your wingman is your best buddy and you two swear up and down that it's NOT a competition, on some level it will always be a competition, because the girls are evaluating both of you.

At least if you are alone, but not EXACTLY her physical type (but look decent), you have a chance to game her and possibly succeed. But if you are NOT her type or just marginally her type, and your wingman is a better fit for her physically, you're done.

Dude, i hear you with the friends part. All of my friends from my hometown lack confidence to the extreme. It's ridiculous, then they try to judge me for talking to girls that I don't know at a bar or just walking down the street and say it's "creepy".

I guess that's the difference between getting laid and masturbating to thoughts of your ex while you cry yourself to sleep.

Finally, I don't like putting on a "show" for another guy. When a wingman says, "Let's see what you can do...", that is usually when I get too in my head (ie nervous or self-conscious) and fall flat on my face. When I'm alone, it's just me, my game, and the ladies. I can focus better without the bs.

Like I said in another post, going out alone is NOT the optimal situation. Some people WILL consider you weird or creepy. But you can't worry about that. Still in all, my best and biggest successes were when I was alone.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I think the whole concept of having a wingman is played out and overrated. I never had women dogging me or looking at me weird for being by myself (if it happened, no more frequent than when I was with someone) They all thought it was cool that I could hold my own.

In fact, all my successes were from solo approaches at bars/clubs, whereas, my nights with "wingmen" ALWAYS ended up being a failure. Not having to worry about your friend ruining the interaction or holding you back due to their insecurities makes it way easier for me to relax and run solid game.

So unless you have really competent guys at your side, solo is the way to go.

Solo is the best way, if you can do it. Nobody thinks you are weird, that is nonsense.


When I go out solo, I go to all the spots I would go to otherwise. Same bars, same clubs, same events, etc. Nothing changes.

If you want to hit up dance floors and game, solo is the best way. Any other way is awkward imo.
 

"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.
