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.
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.
Yea I was wondering something similar.trickz said:LOL i bet you were really nerdy and creepy looking...
You failed... never over sarge an area.. its ok in clubs and pubs but in day game you WILL get noticed.
Thanks for the lols though ! :rockon:
Thing is bro is I'm SURE I've been noticed LONG before this. I KNOW the janitors and sh*t have seen me sarging up there, I know the staff there have seen me sarging in there. But guess what? UNTIL THAT ONE GIRL REPORTED ME, none of them said a word and if that girl hadn't reported me, none of them would have said a word.Popeyes said:Yea I was wondering something similar.
Has Elstud ever posted a pic of himself? If so what does he look like?
Elstud what do you look like? What would you honestly rate yourself out of 10?
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.
Why did you quote me?ElStud said:Thing is bro is I'm SURE I've been noticed LONG before this.

See it's more than about I made a girl feel uncomfortable. It's the fact that when you do, THE AUTHORITIES START WATCHING YOU LIKE YOU FREAKING RAPED HER OR SOMETHING. And also, I'm confident that if the police officers actually had ANY PROOF that I was HARASSING the girls, I wouldn't be banned right now. Cause guess what? There was no proof in there mind, other than he said, she said. I'm CONFIDENT, that if they had some sort of video proof or something, that showed me talking to the girls, they would see that I was not harassing ANYONE.
There is no PROOF, that I even touched the girls hand as she stated. There is no PROOF, that I was harassing girls other than eye witnesses. And anyone who knows anything about law, knows how unfaithful eye witnesses can be. Before the girl reported me, to the staff working there it's "oh, he's just talking to a girl, no big deal". After that, it's like I talk to any girl and it's like "OMG! HE'S HARASSING HER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NO IDEA WHATSOVER WHAT HE'S SAYING TO HER". I mean god damn, the girl can be my freaking friend for all you know. This is what I mean by the fact that it's BS.
There is no proof whatsover to backup their accusations and they banned me from the hangout place, with little to no proof at all, other than eye witnesses.
That one girl is the straw that broke the camel's back from the sound of it.ElStud said:But guess what? UNTIL THAT ONE GIRL REPORTED ME, none of them said a word and if that girl hadn't reported me, none of them would have said a word.

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
And? I take it you know nothing about law. Eye witnesses is usually the worst "proof" or "evidence" you can give anyone. First off, for all we know the eye witness could have something against me personally and just say "I was harassing girls" to smite me or something. The eye witness might not have even said "harassing" they could of just changed it to that. MOST LIKELY the eye witnesses already had a bad opinion of me and thus, simply assumed that because I was talking to girls, I the guy who was supposedly making girls uncomfortable, that I was harassing them.Alle_Gory said:That one girl is the straw that broke the camel's back from the sound of it.

This is going to be a fun thread!
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Bible_Belt said:"Day Game" should be modeled after the way a tiger hunts. They don't go back and forth over the same place and run at anything that happens by. They cover a large territory to seek out the best targets. Then, when they do pounce, it is a high-percentage precision strike. Hunting anything consists almost entirely of being good at waiting and watching.
Mike, the thing is you don't know how many eyewitnesses there are or how many complaints there have been against you. It could be this isolated incident or it could be every time you've been in there and finally they had enough. If staff have seen you in there in the past it could be well documented in a file somewhere.ElStud said:And? I take it you know nothing about law.

However, did the eye witnesses know what we were talking about? No. How in particular was I harassing them? Having a good conversation with them? That's all I remember. How did they know the girls weren't my friends? Exactly. And also I don't remember seeing them EVER talk to the girls I was talking to and asking them. My point, eye witnesses are horrible proof.
So basically I'm banned from there because of eye witness assumptions.
Ohhh,I like this BB. Good analogy. +1 rep. point coming up.Bible_Belt said:"Day Game" should be modeled after the way a tiger hunts.

But who's job is it to tell me? THE POLICE and they failed to tell me. Security cameras would even MORE SO ADMIT, that I did nothing wrong.theunflushables said:Mike, the thing is you don't know how many eyewitnesses there are or how many complaints there have been against you.

Also, I'm not sure how up to date your campus is, but many campuses have security cameras in every public place. Just think of how many times you might be on tape without knowing it. Sexual crimes are a big concern for college campuses. They could easily throw you out if they wanted to, or even worse get local authorities involved. Just be glad you got banned from college campus by college police. I don't think the real police would be as nice.
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.
