"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.

Thoughts on Dance Game...........

I do get this inquiry a lot and one of my longer term clients brought it up out of bitter frustration. He was out sarging one night with a natural friend (in all fairness, he's of a foreign background and has a bit of a thick accent, so the game has been a bit of a struggle for him.) and he's trying his best to open sets and get #'s/kisses and what have you. His friend doesn't open sets, rather he just goes straight to the dance floor and he's gaming girls by just grinding up on them. Turns out he took one of the girls home that night and it leaves my client bitterly frustrated.

In my opinion, this is definitely a fluke, unless the guy is extremely good looking and he's being very aggressive, this tactic DEFINITELY will not work for the average PUA. This is the same reason Kosmo almost got booted in the first season, he was relying strictly on his break dancing. So anyway, I calm my client down and I graciously ask him to go out with the guy again and see if he can repeat the results because for the record, I've never met a good PUA that only relies on dancing and for some reason, I can't picture Mystery or Matador getting it down on the dance floor.

Anyways, I'm not here to say that dancing is a bad thing. I mean, if you really think about it, it's a socially acceptable way of dry humping a girl you just met in public, doesn't really get much better than that. I'll be the first to admit that my dance game is awful and I rely strictly on my social repertoire, but I do plan on taking some hip hop classes eventually as I do think it'll help my game in the long run.

Long story short, add some dance game and use it a supplement, but not as your primary means of meeting women.

Thoughts on Phone Game.........

I remember when I first got in the game, one of the MOST frustrating things was having girls flake out on me, every time I got a flake, it seriously felt like a hand came out of my handset and backhanded me, total shot to my ego. I would also micromanage the hell out of my texting, I would wait exactly x minutes before I texted back and I put WAYYY more thought than was necessary in each text. It's only human nature to be results oriented and well you always assign fault to the negative emotion at the moment. For the longest time, I was blaming my phone game, I thought there was something wrong with my text messages or there was something wrong with me when I was on the phone that really messed up the interaction.

Luckily, I had some good mentors pushing me forward at the time and at the peak of my frustration of this sticking point, I sat down with Knack (Coach at Venusian Arts) and he clarified two things for me. First off, my phone close tactic was a little too forceful, I won't go over the routine in specific, but it was definitely abrasive. Also, my comfort game was definitely on the weak side and any pick up guru will tell you that the game is won in comfort. So once we had those two things in place, my flakes went down drastically.

In anycase, especially for the newbies out there, in terms of where you're focusing your effort, definitely focus on your in field performance, if you do well there, it really facilitates escalation from there on out.

"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.

Of course they were. Hollywood is not real.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Dancing is a great way of breaking the ice with and getting up-close to many women IME. Although something with a bit of style and not grinding might be better for the first couple of dances. After that, it does tend to escalate quickly. :)

After that, you will need all your other skill of course.
