Im not gay, I mean-- we're talking about relating well with women; fine. But what about networking, business, friendship, etc. There is a lot of cross over (ok, No kino on your boss now!!!!!) But, think about it.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.

I'm sure if you asked this question in the regular discussion threads, a bunch of guys would be able to answer it rather quickly.Originally posted by suavedave
Just what I'm saying...
But another board-- with a different objective. I mean, not doing these things with the purpose of sex!
For instance, last night at the club I had as a first order of priority to find a wing man. What's the best way to do this (essentially; approach guys). This kind of thing is not discussed, and it would be helpful to have a board for it.

uhmmmmmm???? ...Dude,..you are gay ...!!!!
The Edge ' Some have it, and some don't '
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.
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.
Then go to a business forum.Originally posted by Krassus
I think we could use a business forum. I'd love to swap strategies with the guys
