"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.

Got this idea off a post by Colossus. It's a great metaphor to the kind of mindframe we should be in when it comes to women.

The "game" is like deer hunting with a knife. You're the hunter and you need to get close enough to the deer, so you do all sorts of things to mask your presence or avoid scaring the deer: you mask your scent, maybe you chuck food around, who knows...the point being, if you're hunting deer, do you just run at it head on and hope it won't get scared and run off? NO. You move slowly and cautiously. You take your time. You try to change the way the deer perceives you. If you go too fast, it WILL run away. However, if you get close enough for the kill and you hesitate, the deer will also run off. It definitely won't give you a second chance!

So maybe you screw up with one deer and it runs off. Do you run after it? NO. You find another deer. Even if you scare hundreds of deer away there will always be more. There's no point getting "attached" to any deer until you've caught it because it can always run away. I mean seriously...if you were really hunting deer you wouldn't tell your buddies "you know what guys, this one deer got away today but I'm gonna look for it tomorrow".
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Coming from a hunter, this is a great analogy. Sure there is always the story of "the one that got away", but you never get too hung up on it. You just have to get out there and find another.

A wild Pokemon appears. It's a Suzanne. Suzanne uses attract. Don Juan becomes attracted. Don Juan uses ''mask scent''. Suzanne became confused.


I mean, really. Women are not like deers. One woman will think you are a ***** and will humiliate you if you ''mask your scent'' or in other words: pretend like you are not hitting on her. Another woman will hate it if you are too onvious about it. Women are too complex to use that kind of analogies. Not to mention that you are treating women like they have more value than you if you are trying to ''hunt'' them.

Yeah the scent masking thing was too much. As for having more value, I disagree. If you never try to pick girls up and never hit on girls you know, you will end up an old lonely virgin. You can't expect women to make the first move.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I talk to girls to give her a chance to get to know me and show me she is interested in me. If she isn't enthusiastic about a conversation with me she can go fck herself.

That's making the first move without a hunting mindset. :up:
