"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.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

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.

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
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
