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.
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.

Correct. I think of it as a video game where you only get one life.JPlaya said:I just noticed this
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 find it kind of ironic how the guys that get more than 1 strike are usually the men that treat women the worse! (usually seedy characters, jerks, bad boys, criminals).Deadly_Ripped said:People only get one strike when the other person isn't really significantly interested. You can walk all over a woman as long as she's in love with you (not to say that you should, though).
I found that out a month ago. I had been smooth sailing for 28 years because I'd never dated a woman I genuinely cared about. I finally get one, and my game goes out the window, and I was a doormat. Friendzoned on date 2. Working my way out of that though.f283000 said:I find it kind of ironic how the guys that get more than 1 strike are usually the men that treat women the worse!

But us normal guys it feels like just 1 show of needyness, failing a few sh*t tests or just the silliest thing is enough for a woman to give us the friend card or dump us.
The better you treat a woman DOES NOT EQUATE TO HER TREATING YOU WELL. Remember that.
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.
