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.
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.
From the shows I have heard, it's about some repulsive couch potato teaching guys how to be bitter and distrusting towards women.TheMale said:what it's about ?
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.
but that's what we want to avoid here on sosuave, to put the women in the center of our world.Jariel said:Instead of trying to blame others for his shortcomings, a better attitude would be to look at himself, ask why he's experiencing this kind of reaction from women and what he can do to change that.
I think the whole not caring about women philosophy gets wildly exaggerated and is not really authentic. Of course, it's important to have hobbies, friends and a life outside of women, but there's nothing wrong with pursuing women, sex, even love if that's what you want. And like anything in life, if you want something you have to work for it.TheMale said:but that's what we want to avoid here on sosuave, to put the women in the center of our world.
if i'm asking myself why i get bad result with woman and i'm working to change that so i can finally attract women, my center of world is WOMEN.
true ?
never tought about it that way !Jariel said:I believe it's more important not to make one particular woman the centre of your world.
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.
