"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Im sixteen, i liked this girl in sixth grade but then at the time i didn't really notice her. Come eighth grade shes smoking hot. I asked her out in seventh . she said yes and its been two years and we don't talk in person and we never hang out. shes always busy. We only text. and occasionally we have phone sex. We aren't really close. and ive been trying to spark things up with her in person but never can because im shy and nervous and my face gets really red. What the hell should i do? and when we do text im the text to text.and also conversations are always the same we do this question game.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Well obviously you see where this relationship is dysfunctional. It clearly is in a few ways. Understand that you need to push/pull in your interactions with her, neither giving her too much of you nor retracting too much.

Write down what you want your relationship to be, how often you want to see her, what you want to do when you do see her, how you want to talk to each other, etc. After it's written down, work toward those goals. Be glad that you made the decision to improve yourself before you lost her.

What is an example of this push and pull?

Nervousness is a repeated thought. You get over it by acting. Once you actually start doing, nervousness basically dissappears.

I have no specific tactics or theories for you, because they're useless. You're dating. It is assured she wants you, so kiss her. You don't need a line or move to impress her, confidence will turn her on more than anything. And confidence is acting despite your nervousness at first.
 

"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.

Firstly, there's more girls. Talk to them. Expand your comfort zone, it's that way that you will grow as a person.

Just as I typed the above, I asked a girl out over facebook with

Her: (Referring to our convo about sex & porn)
Shweet:)
You go out and get the real thing(Y)

ME:
there's nothing better
while we're on the subject
lets hang out, sometime soon

Her:
Agreed

You think I was comfortable doing that? ****no. Not yet. I simply decided.. What the hell, I might as well try.
High risk / high reward.

Just do what you think you cant.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

It's just all in your head. Think about it. You already HAVE a girl, you're already POSTING here, obviously you got balls, you're the fvcking boss. Now get out there and don't think about any sht, just be yourself, go with the flow!

Dude, you boost your confidence through doing it. You know all those loud mofos who pimp? Yeah, they were just as scared as you. But they did it anyway, over and over again, eventually they stopped being scared. Because they did it anyways.

Dude it's like there's no pressure on you to improve. You want things to be a certain way, but you have this crippling fear. We've all had it, it sucks. A lot of guys have an external, social pressure from their friends that makes them improve with girls. None of us have that, so we need to create an internal pressure.

It is your responsibility to WANT to get better. We can tell you how, and motivate you somewhat, but this one is really on you. Decide what you want, and get it.

(To explain push/pull: The basic concept is you want what you can't have. So you need to give someone space, but also be able to make strong, decisive moves. An example is this girl that I texted last night. I hooked up with her almost a year ago when she came to visit my friend. She'll be coming back next month. The reason we still talk very sexually, with a strong spark, is twofold. One, we haven't had sex yet, so there's something to look forward to. And second, I barely talk to her. I contact her maybe 40% of the time, and we always have conversations when I do. She contacts me 60% and I rarely respond to her. Last night I teased her, she responds with "jeeeze, dont be so mean" so I say ":) love you. Come here" and she says "I want your weiner in me." I thought at first that it was sarcastic, who says weiner? but apparently it wasn't. The push/pull in this is alternating gaps of no reply, with sexual conversations. Also the teasing alternated with sexual, sweeter talk. The first time we hooked up she called me mean often.)

^push/pull is a great concept, but at this stage you're far more likely to notice it working when you're doing well with a girl than if you tried to plan it out. This girls your girlfriend, you don't need tricks.
 

"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.

Any tips for the nervous stuff?
Yeah, you pretty much have to just do it. I lost my virginity in a public place after arranging it with some girl I'd met one/two days before. When I went to meet her, I felt so nervous I could barely talk... For real I had to keep pausing because I was finding it difficult to speak... The nerves nearly made me leave... But what it came down to was deciding to not keep backing out because otherwise I knew I wasn't going to ever get some. In the past I backed out of a LOT of sexual encounters and I'd had enough of it.

She wants it, so just ask her over. Make that step. I know you're nervous and go red, but realize you HAVE to do it at some point. So ask this girl over for a movie, actually FORCE yourself to do it. I'm telling you if you're having phone sex etc, if you go to do anything with her, she won't resist AT ALL.

It's up to you... You either do it NOW, and thank yourself and thank me after... OR, you let it go, and wait until you've repeated this same process SO many times, that you're too frustrated and finally snap and FORCE yourself to do it. My advice is to make yourself do it now.

No one knows what exactly to do, every situation is different. One thing I think you need to do is man up, stop putting the ***** on a pedestal and stop being a little *****. Harsh yes, but very effective. If you want more confidence, stop asking for suggestions there's stickies dedicated to this everywhere
