"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This is indeed a very good article. Well-researched, fair, smart, well-written. Of course, the female author thinks she's a catch when she looks like this (apologies in advance for those eating):



But still, an excellent article.
 

"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.

Is there anything more disgusting than a young woman that is chunky but without nice teats? :mad:

Young? She's over 30, or looks like she's over 30

The delusion is off the charts. I'd sooner masturbate wearing a rusty metal glove.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

If I am being honest here, never heard of Mystery until today but PUA's were never part of my life growing up as a teen or college years, needless to say, neither to this day. For some reason, I feel bad for men that need to follow a guide or 10-step course to pick up women. Or a man trying to impress a girl for the sake of hopefully ba**ing her. It just seems sleazy and depressing but that's just me.

But the article is really well-written, there's some good content when she talks about MRA's, Red Pillers, Proud Boys, etc. I would have liked for her to focus more on that rather than PUA 2.0.

Articles from Buzzfeed are written and run by feminists so they tend to be very biased. I generally don't read any of their trash.

I agree with you but a good compliment to the redpill movie
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I wonder how much of Mystery's success comes from the fact that he is 6'5"?
More of it is due to the fact he's charismatic and personable.

There is video of Mystery being less than charismatic, but we all have bad days. And I'm not so sure about personable, because the successful footage of him that I've seen seemed to consist of him stringing together canned routines and lines that didn't appear to fit any context at all. I'm not trying to bag on him though, it takes guts to do what he did.

I remember his entrance on his show The Pickup Artist, and he came into the room flanked by a wingman on either side, they were all dressed in black, he had a silly hat on that probably made him look about 6'10" or 11". The fact that he was in the center and towered over the people next to him naturally drew attention and sent a certain message.

His stuff doesn't work in the swipe era, and his show was entertaining at best. Now, with apps, everything is how you are seen socially and your clout. It's all BS, and can work wonders if you're good at the smoke and mirrors type of thing. Eventually, everyone has to pay the piper; including David Strauss and Mystery.
