Also, how much can one charge for how many hours of lessons?
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.
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.
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.
The whole PUA thing seems to be fading. Few men now are interested in doing a lot of approaching in the real world, as compared to the PUAs of the late 1990s - mid 2010s era. Interest in PUA likely peaked somewhere in the 2000s.The golden age might have gone now since nobody really believes in 'PUA' anymore
the main change is that the idea of 'game' (past basic social skills) just isn't something anyone really believes in any more. And tbh, rightly so!The whole PUA thing seems to be fading.

Imo, it peaked in late 00s - early 10s. RSDs golden years were around this time. I still remember Julien Blancs infield footage around this time, 10-14, he was a literal pickup God, i can find his old compilation footage if anyone wants. It was truly incredible, and a total paradigm shift. Unfortunately, the SJW/feminists ramped up by the mid 10s and he was cancelled, which led to the downfall of RSD and PUA in general.The whole PUA thing seems to be fading.

A lot of people like the idea of sitting at home and swiping, even though swipe apps tend to produce poor outcomes for most men. A lot of men find it convenient to sit at home instead of getting dressed up and going out into the real world. This was something many men were feeling in the 2010s even before the pandemic affected real world interactions for about 2 years in the early 2020s.
Social media DMing is also a difficult path.
I determined my best path involved real world approaching as compared to app swiping or sending DMs on Instagram.
