"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This guy one of ours? Great blog

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I was kind enough to check out one of the articles, since you recommended it.

I chose "How to pick up the strip club waitress"

Then I saw that he recommended giving the waitress a $50 bill, without even having spoken to her beforehand, THEN waiting a few days, and THEN returning to talk to her.

That was all I needed to see. Any man that tells me that I need to give a woman straight cash to get her attention, and then wait 3 days to begin our first conversation....this is a man whose advice I'm not listening to.

Also...too much slang. I get it, Blog Dude, you're cool. Now talk to me like a normal grown man.

Thanks for the link though.

I am on the fence - some stuff seems good, but it is almost like he is trying a bit too hard.

This guy is funny as hell, been following him on and off for a while.

He bags more chicks than 90% of SoSuavers, yet I'm sure a lot of our in-house KJs will hate on him..

haters gon' hate, what can you do?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Using the word 'hate' to cover all forms of criticism glosses over the important distinction between valid criticism and pointless fault-finding. Valid criticism can be useful and instructive.
