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.
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.
Its not worth it. This site has way more content and has the better price of 0.galmorphus said:It takes about FIVE gigs on my computer, lol!
You can just delete it after though, it is worth it.
I found a summary of the Blueprint which covers it all up to disc 15(there are 20 discs)

The other parts are in his signature.
I still recommend watching it though.
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.
My computer has 2gbs of memory and has crashed several times. If I download this monster that takes about 5gbs as stated by a poster, it'll slow down considerably and my parents will tell me to take it off...as they have with other games. Plus, one; what makes the Blueprint so special compared to all the other PUA stuff advertised? And two; why can't I just read the summaries?NorwegianDJ said:I still think that you either know nothing about computers, or you're just in denial. The audio files take 1/10th of the space of the video files. Why can't you even bother to check how much the computer can hold? Just download overnight and put it on a flashdrive. You may even convert the files and listen on your phone. I do not see your problem at all.
Well maybe I'll download it, but I just don't get what makes it so special...NorwegianDJ said:Repeating myself, the audio is only 400-500 mbs. Insert a flashdrive, save it on the flashdrive and download overnight. Problem solved. Do you think a summary of 1-3 pages per section (15/20) can cover 20 hours of material? Take it from us that recommend it, it did change something in us.
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.
It's friggin great, highly recommend it. If you get it PM me your gamertag.djghost said:How the game. I haven't played GoW since 1.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Thanks but I pretty much gave up on Kevin, and Neel wronged me so I'm not even looking his way.SouLeeian said:Hey man, just started reading your journal on like pg. 1 so i don't know if you actually solved your problem of your friends not being into this sh!t, but I know how I got my friends into it. The thing is, anyone can PREACH about this sh!t, but the real "Alright let's do this Sh!t!" attitude comes from,
1) Telling your friends "Watch this"
2) You going out there and Cold Approaching
3) Rapid results (And this can be as minuscule as a laugh and A playful touch)
4) Walking back to them like nothing happened and saying "It was that easy"
After that you let them come to you because you can't force them to do it and you don't want to, you want them to do it because they one day decide that they want to be good at the game too. This is so they are doing it for themselves and not something they do whenever your around.
True, but there is something I want to bring up on today's journal.novaknight said:Glad you quit football. Can't ever stand out at something you don't have a passion for. Plus its pretty taxing on your morale too.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
