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.
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 gave an intangible answer to a tangible problem --- he is 5' 6" 240 pounds!!nicknle said:Haha, I did read it and I don't see how my response was irrelevant!
That was a "big" typo!!MicCheck1-2 said:Sorry that was a typo from typing too fast. I'm 140.
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.
Actually, I'm NOT wondering. I already know and I said why. I don't get a second glance because I'm ugly.You're THAT overweight and you wonder why women dont' give you a second glance?
Bad doubt. I've had people subtly say I was ugly. I was teased alot in school.i doubt your the ugliest living thing walking the earth right now.
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.
Theres no way we can help you if we dont know how you look, the smallest things matter, yea i know its hard and embarassing showing yourself to the public but its waht you gotta do if you want helpKev07 said:Post up a pic and we'll see what we can do for you
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.
This is all that needs to be said.Gamblor said:This thread inspired me to register and post a massive multi page heart felt response, citing reallife experiences that actually happened to me today. Then I got an error closing internet explorer on my last paragraph.
To summarize:
*****es make excuses.
Winners make solutions.
Stop ****ing crying, and focus on what YOU can do to IMPROVE EVERYDAY.
Life is hard. Deal with it. Maybe you should read the thread about the guy who lost his leg to give you some perspective on your "problems" cause the fact is no one likes a whiny *****.
If you can stop feeling sorry for yourself and take these words to heart you'll return to thank me later.
Plastic surgery. :crazy:Last Man Standing said:It is not his weight that is the issue -- it is his facial features.
So true... are all rockstars handsome? No the guy from Motorhead is ugly as fuc k but he gets laid all the time. Personality trumps looks in the long run, if you wanna one-night-stand work out and get a good body.Last Man Standing said:If you are not blessed with looks then you must over-compensate in other areas!! You have to be strong, physically, or strong in character, or strong in the money arena, strong athletically, or strong intellectually, or bold in attitude - pimp bold! Something else must transcend your physical looks!!
