"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

"I would never approach a man!"

So I am reading this thread (and I agree with Warrior on the 4th page) but what I did get reminded of was that, sometimes, no matter what, a woman will not make the first move. No matter what. Especially if she's the traditional type.

Back when I met my girl, I had no idea that she had already "eyed" me. After we started dating, she confessed to going to my place of work in hopes that I would notice her, since she was taught "to never approach a man".

I eventually did notice her, I gauged her IL and we started dating. 2+ years later, we're still together (and quite happy, I might add).

Lesson to be learned:
  • You gotta approach. Always. They're not always gonna be banging on your front door saying "Vato, fuck me please!!!" ;) Approach, Gauge, Close. Get to "banging" afterwards.
 

"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.

Hey I've been reading through your observation log and I find the info is solid and gold,
Thanks, my friend. You obviously recognize good stuff when you see it.

although this one has caught my attention.

First let me say, I agree with this piece of advice. However, if ever you find yourself in a situation where you are with a girl of interest and there are other guys (at a friend's house, or at a bar or whatever), the best course of action in my opinion is to game everyone but her. In other words, socialize with everyone, your friends, female or male, but also those that you do not know, get to know them, etc. Exchange a few pieces of conversation with girl of interest, just enough so that you don't give off a vibe of ''I'm ignoring you'' but keep it very light so that you don't end up in the situation that you have described.
The reason I don't recommend doing that is because you will give off that vibe if you avoid talking to her.

When I'm at a party, social event, etc. and a woman catches my fancy, I look for IOIs (specifically, The Eyes™ and Coy Smile™). If she digs, "it's on, like Donkey Kong!", though I take an indirectly direct approach about it. I am the man. She is the woman. We both have natural roles that must be fulfilled (mine, the aggressor; hers, the prospective receptor).

I will try to talk to everyone (including a woman I find attractive) but, I would not spend too much time with her (and especially trying to impress her and/or out-peacock other men like in my prior entry). I will try to isolate. If she digs and is receptive, she will cooperate.

Trust me.

This morning as I was getting ready, I was listening to a local radio show. I hardly watch TV anymore but apparently they were quite upset at a Summer's Eve commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxW_ZCd64tg

Fucking A, man! Pedestaling pussy, much?

"Discourage males from participating..."

A couple of weeks ago, I was on the field taking care of some issues. I was in a room, adjacent to a conference area. Since I was doing my business quietly, the people in the other room did not notice me there and were having a the following conversation [to the best of my memory]:

- "Girls are intimidated in class so we have to discourage males from participating."
- "What do you mean?"
- "Yeah, we've seen that guys are eager to answer questions but girls often don't raise their hand because they're intimidated by the number of guys with raised hands, eager and ready to answer."
- "You know what, yeah... I've noticed that in some of my classes..."
- "So what we should do is to try to discourage male participation and to encourage females to participate more."

And no, this wasn't some hippie women's lib class or some other shit like that. This was for a university-wide course that is required by the State I work for from every student wanting to obtain a degree.

Just some more food for thought...
 

"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.

The girl was a nice 7, while the guy was a 6, slightly taller but slightly overweight. I wear extremely dark sunglasses (they're cholo/gangster style -- they wrap around my face and you can't see my eyes) and since I always look straight ahead, I was able to pretend I wasn't looking... but I was!

As we get closer, the girl obviously liked what she saw so she looked me up and down (hey, I'm a sharp dresser), got a light smirk on her face and followed me with her eyes. The guy, I guess instinctively felt something was amiss and immediately placed his arm around her, to let me know that she was his woman, all while I'm keeping my head straight and pretending not to look at them. We then passed each other and was unable to see if he kept her arm around her or not.

Several months ago, I ran into a similar situation here on campus. I was unattached and this girl also liked what she saw so I turned around and made some conversation, with a name and number close after that.

Lesson to be learned:•Learn to use your peripheral vision. Even if you are not wearing sunglasses , learn to be fully aware of your surroundings.

You know, I noticed a few days ago, some woman was sitting next to me, seeminly oblivious to me. And I looked up at her face, her eyeballs were at the side(corner)of her eyes. Man, that seemed creepy. But they do watch, they are just a lot sneekier about it.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.

Holy true. I was sitting in the library and this cute girl from physics sits next to me. I ended up getting her number only to find out she always thought I was cute and wanted me to ask her out. Action is awesome.
 

"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.

"A whiny little b!tch..."

So this morning I'm trying to read some threads and shit, man! Seriously! We men are NOT supposed to be the emotional ones. That's their job!

Sure, it's fine to feel emotions but, do not impulsively act upon them. And especially DON'T VERBALIZE THEM!!

Believe it or not, women want men... who are actually Men. You know, masculine? Not emotionally-tender, soft little whiners.

So to you I say:
  • Grow a pair.
  • Be a Man.
  • Keep Your Fuckin' Trap Shut™
Unless you want to be like the post title...
