"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

What do you think of as successful?

Over the summer I developed a plan along with my buddy to determine whether or not we were successful with women. We decided that hooking up with 1 out of every 3 girls you got a number from was a decent rate, likening it to the very good batting average of .333 in baseball.

It's been about 5 months since I held that standard to myself and I am closer to .750, so either my initial idea of success with women was a huge underestimation or I've been getting really lucky.

What do you guys think is a good ratio?
 

"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.

Once you get their number then they are interested - 2 out of 3 is good - 3 out of 4 is better!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I think the numbers are pretty solid. Where are u hooking up with these girls.? I notice that when I go clubbing out of 7 numbers I might go all the way with one. So I guess my average would be a 143. Which isn't good but isn't terrible either for going all the way. :rockon:

typical said:
Nah unless you've bonked her then thats still a missed chance, till then your unsuccessful.

I agree with that. Or at least get a bj or a knobjob.... I guess that would count also. If that counts my average will be slightly higher.
