"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.

So i made a tinder account a few days ago. I had a handsome shirt and tie pic. You can tell i'm built. But only one hit.

So a few hours ago, i changed to a pic of me drawing my sweatshirt up, exposing my abs and my pecs. I got like a dozen bites really quick....

Babes that want to chill and others that want "fun" with no pressure. I'm going to check this out for a minute.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Doesn't really matter, just make it look somewhat candid and you're good to go.

In regards to pictures I would go:

1st pic: Dog pic. Shows you having a good time with your dog (make sure your face is clearly visible though so they have an idea of what you look like, some chicks won't look at more than 1 pic before swiping).

2nd pic: Social value pic. Use a picture that shows you having a good time with other people out and about somewhere, helps to have hot girls in the pic.

3rd pic: Candid close-up face pic. Use the best photo you can find that you look great in and clearly shows what your face looks like. This pic will give them a good idea of what you look like and a lot of girls are turned off by bad teeth so make sure you smile with them in his pic (assuming they're not fvcked up).

4th pic: Body pic. This works great if you have a nice body. Some girls like the surprise when you take off your shirt in person but some enjoy anticipation when they already know what to expect. A lot girls will like seeing this in your first pic but a lot of them won't as you might just come off as a "fvckboy" or whatever the hell girls say nowadays. The dog pic will catch their attention and the body pic will seal the deal.

5th, 6th, 7th: Can't go wrong with some additional social value pics or pics of you on vacation doing fun things or in a beautiful scenic location. More photos of your dog can't hurt either.


At the end of the day, Tinder is a superficial app. If you're below average in the looks department and not in good shape in addition to only having boring pictures, don't expect to game chicks above your level just by compensating with charm and wit when she's got literally hundreds of more exciting, better looking guys at her finger tips. You already know this though.


EDIT: Unless you have Zac Efron-like
looks, it helps if none of your pics are selfies or mirror pics (aka taken by yourself).

@mrgoodstuff you should check out Bumble if you haven't already, it's similar to Tinder.

Yes tinder IS superficial. I look good enough and my body is tight enough for it to work out in my favour. Theres not really much to say, the females choose you for whatever they are trying to do. I still haven't scored off of it, so let me let that happen for me. But I'm getting plenty of bites on the pics alone.
 

"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 just realized I look BETTER than most of the females there. Guess I'm a fine hammer.

Tinder has this smart photos option. I'd guess it changes your top pic to whatever gets the most right swipes.

I used to fight with it, because I prefer my classier pic. But it keeps switching back to me working out with no shirt on. I just leave it now. *shrug*

Marketing 101: Always split test, because YOU are NOT your market. No one really knows what the "customer" is looking for, so test and experiment however you can.

You still may be comfortable for certain markets and not comfortable for others.

That may be a very valuable app to create.

A split testing algorithm that "learns" who you mutually swipe with and who you reject. And maximizes your percentage with only those you mutually swipe right on.

It would take a lot of manual operation. Change configurations of your profile every ten swipes or something.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
