"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.

"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.

What about blaming the woman for a change?realsmoothie said:A co-worker of mine actually just dumped her boyfriend of a year because he played too much WOW.
That should tell you something... he was so addicted he'd rather play WOW than get laid.
She sounds like an HORRIBLE lay!!

I reccomend Star Craft. It's old, but it's cheap, free online, only game i've been playing consistently (meaning once in a while) for the past 9 years.

Pathetic.
“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.
If you have the type of personality that would get so into the game that you would lose sight of your real life then I wouldn't get the game. If you can honestly say that you can play the game like I play FFXI...being able to turn it off and not let it interfere with your real life, then it should be alright...but you should limit yourself to a set amount of time each week to play and not let yourself play more than that...EVER.

It has a monthly fee. Very few online games are free.
"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.
Warpath said:How did he spend thousands on WoW? Was he buying in-game items with actual money?
At first it started with him buying gold with actual money. Then it moved on to paying people in another country to level his characters. Over the course of 7 months he had spent probably $1500. The thing that helped aid our breakup was him buying someones character off of ebay for $1200 and lying to me about it (he told me it cost $600 originally). After about 2 weeks the ACTUAL owner (not the person who sold it to him) of the account took it back and so he lost all of that money. He lied to me again by telling me that he sold it for $1600. Eventually the truth had come out. Now the thing is, I never asked. He would tell me this stuff like "guess what, I bought a new character" so it hurt me that he was lying to me when I wouldn't have been too upset since it was his money.
This game can bring out the worse in people, with him he was a great guy beforehand, he had stuff to talk about and he was very honest. Ever since he started playing all he talked about was WOW and spend his money on it. I told him I felt like it was as if he was cheating on me because he did all of the things with WOW that you would do with a new girlfriend.

Psychologists have opened centers for help for addicts of ALL mmo's. The main point of why/how people get addicted is the "reward" syndrome gambling addicts face. It's never ending. As long as the company and game exist, there will always be more. The difference is, there's no risk, just keep playing. In life, there's SOME risk. Emotional, financial, psychological, etc. In life, few people can try and do and then fail and try and do again. In a fantasy world, you can do it over and over until you're tired.
In the sense of video games, it's fun. But it's a time-drag, like anything else NOT being focused upon as your main core outlook in life.
In the sense of addiction, it can be addicting, as many articles and real world events notes.
It personally disgusts and depresses me that people get like that...so obsessed. That guys would ignore or dump gf's over it. That they have nothing else better to do than lvl characters in a fake world. I'd even lump Second Life into this category because it has even a more non-sensical way about it, and a more glaring and depressing name. "Second Life." When my buddy showed me that game with people banging IN-game, and told me it was real people playing their character's, I knew it'd be FUBAR. How would you feel if your wife/gf's/sister's character was virtually banging some dude. "Oh honey/brother/bf, it's only a game! I have to so I can get more X!"
The same can be said of ANY video games, but because of their nature, MMO's have an addictive feature built in. Play more, get richer, get more gear, beat more people, beat bigger bosses, etc. It's pathetic.
The lesson learned is life balance. Guys in the PUA community can be victim to the same mentality of addiction to reward, but sacrifice of soul. Sacrifice of life. If you play the game, there's no rush. If you don't, good. Fly a kite. Run. Play games. Do whatever you enjoy. Ala, Virtue of Selfishness.
Work hard, Play Hard.
