"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.

Hey, this is my first post under my new name, my old name was asdfghjkl for anyone who knew me.

Anyway, recently i read "The Game" by Neil Strauss and got intrigued by the Mystery Method, so i went to his site and memorized a few things which i found to be the best. I really liked the best friend test and a certain neg. (If she interrupts you, you say to her friends, "Wow, is she always like that? How do you deal with her?”)

So I've been out testing these all week, and I've come up with nothing but positive reactions, especially to the best friends test, girls can't seem to get enough of it. Now that could have to do with the age group I'm in (highschool) but it really does seem like solid stuff.


I went from being totally against canned material to now going out and trying to find the best of it, so that if there's a stall in the conversation or if it just feels right, i'll break it out.

What does everyone else think about canned material?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Don't need it. Dont want it.

That's exactly how i felt too, because i never used it and got along fine. But I'm definitely learning to like it for what it is, and i got good reactions from it too.

I know what you mean, thing is about Canned though you get so caught up with it that you can't bring the real you out.

The best way to get past this is when you're doing your canned material don't be expecting to get the reaction that you get. This will help you not come off as a button pusher. But yes Canned works because its basically stuff that will pump buying temeperature.

These discussions come up here.. canned material vs improv. The common conclusion is that canned material is "training wheels". It gets you to approach women, try some stuff out, get over your anxieties. In the long run, you can learn the art of conversation.

Think about it.. to practice conversation, you need to manage your anxiety well enough to go approach a woman. But, you just have nothing to say. So, you throw the canned material, and get used to just approaching. As your anxiety goes down, you feel easier to just try stuff, thoughts that come to mind.

Personally, I find C&F, joking, etc comes natural ONCE I manage to be calm approaching.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I've only tried canned material on the first date - from the "How to Succeed with Women" book, and the result were varied.

On one date, I came across as a robotic stiff with this stuff and it collapsed as the woman thought I was ingenuine.

On another date, a girl felt like a celibrity and was enjoying them and actually had a great time. However, it likely kept me back because it structured things to 30 minutes, despite the girl may have wanted to go out for an extended time near a lake (leading to a romantic mood or something perhaps). I found out later that another guy fvcked her and she was crying the blues about it and I got so frustrated about the whole thing, i put an ad on adultfriendfinder and said the heck with this bs, and went hardcore looking for sex with a random stranger on the internet (but aborted at last minute). In other words, I dont think you can get into a girl's pants on a canned line routine. That can only get the foot in the door, but if you dont know what you are doing you are still toast.

On other dates there are varied reactions - but one thing is with more practise, you get more comfortable with them, and it takes the anxiety out of the ineraction.

Canned material is crutches in my opinion. As the other people said, learn the art of conversation and you'll be much better off. Sh1t, do you think caveman (picture the Geico one) had tarot cards, magic tricks, and best friend tests. Fvck no he didn't. I'm LOL right now at the imagery.

But on a positive note rock solid, the fact that you're pulling these off successfully probably means that you've got good inner game going and hey if you enjoy giving the high school girls the best friend test, have fun with it.
