“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.

what would be your line for this situation?

I know this sounds simple but this actually happened to me last night.

I was at a bar standing by a pool table and I start chatting with one of the building maintenance guys to pass the time. I'm looking around and I notice an hb 6.5 sitting at the bar by herself. she turns and looks at me slowly and then turns back to look forward.

In my head I'm thinking "go right up to her, introduce yourself, and ask her how she's doing." but I don't. I freeze and i just keep talking to the maintenance guy. The hb starts talking to another guy and at the end of the night she goes home with him.

I think i have 2 issues:
1) approach anxiety
2) not enough openers. other than "how are you doing" i really wouldn't have known what to say.

Whats your usual "go to" line when going in for a cold approach in a situation like that?

Seriously? You want canned openers for approaching?

Your gut feeling was right. Seriously all you have to do is approach and introduce yourself. Direct is the way.

I noticed you noticing me. And I just wanted to put you on notice, that I noticed you too. Seriously just go up and extend your hand, ask her name, and tell her yours.

Lmfao.
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

The key to eliminating approach anxiety is not to wait. See girl... approach girl... don't even think about it. If you wait longer than 3 seconds you start to rationialize why you should not approach. Just pretend she is the maintenace guy... you didn't have any problem talking to him because you were not expecting anything to happen.

Once you approach, do so with the idea that you are learning how to do this... don't expect anything to happen... it's just practice. Then see what happens.

You have to snap out of "what would be your line for this situation" type thinking, otherwise you will find yourself quite literally at a loss for words at every brand new situation you find yourself in - at a gas station, on the bus, at a park, at a coffee shop etc. Your first listed issue is much more important to get handled than your second issue, but the beauty of it is that both can be taken care of simultaneously. The more approaching you do, the more you will realize how little your opener matters in comparison to everything else that follows together with the gradual elimination of approach anxiety.

As for your specific situation? I would have asked her: "Can I get you a water on the rocks?"

Just take comfort knowing that even if you walk up to her, look like an idiot and stumble with nothing to say, and get rejected, chances are you'll probably never see her again for the rest of your life anyway, so what do you have to lose?

The opener is not important.

"Hi I'm X" with a handshake will do.

I have learned in study and in practice, it has next to nothing to do with what you say but how you say it.

Problem and solution to learning what that looks and sounds like, is to approach and fail as many times as you can in a short period of time.
When I first stumbled upon this forum I took some of the advice of trying to fail 50 times. In that time I came up with a lot of my own lines, became totally outcome independent of cold approach outcomes, had a lot of laughs, made a few "friends". (some chicks at the mall that rejected me light up when then see me again. Ask me hows it going. Always give me a discount. So what if they pity me, they know me by name and even flirt a bit, the fact that I still show my face I think even intrigues them. A few had BF anyway. Plus you never know.)

I actually got way more #s then I expected. I bombed way less than I thought I would. Gained confidence and eliminated a lot of fear about nothing. You learn better speech cadence, you learn to talk naturally about things, and even your body swagger gets better because after about 5 or 10 I really didn’t give a damn anymore. I was like a game to me. Instead of fear I had fun. Actually, I might set a new goal to do this again. Ive gotten lazy lately with Tinder, FB and oneitis.

Anyway, more to your exact question. I would avoid the natural “Hi. I am so and so” handshake routine. Most girls I have been successful with always appreciate that I never use that. You can use that when you are a natural because like I said prior it’s not what you say but how you say it, but until then, you should start with something that can get that convo going right away and keeps you talking instead of thinking what to say next. I usually comment on something in the environment (other people, band, bar atmosphere, etc.) or even better, notice something small and unique about what they are wearing.

Rings are outstanding for this because you can start kino in the first ten seconds. Try it.

“That’s a unique looking ring is it vintage?” And hold out your hand for her to put her hand in yours and show you.

(Just as an aside note. Handshakes are a mans game. A strong play in the pick up game is to always make a woman feel feminine. This is why Alpha behavior works so well. When you shake hands you make them subconsciously think of work, interviews and their father. Just trust me. I am not going to get into it and the psychology behind it but I am in the know on it. I mean yes, there are times were the cordialness of a handshake is unavoidable and you shouldn’t avoid it unnaturally but I just wouldn’t lead with it. When you are older and the woman is older handshakes are more ok. )

This next one is dicey, but it is a go too for me. I have not had this NOT work. I didn’t get every girls # that I tried this on but I never got a flame out either. Its almost fail safe as far as getting “rejected” because there is nothing for them to reject. Also it plays to everything a woman is. Nosey, judgmental, competitive and gossipy. Woman know how to reject your “Hi How are you” They have been doing it for years. I have not met a woman yet that knows how to be *****y and dismissive when I approach with this. However, I am sure she is out there.

Show her your phone with a picture of another chick on it. Helps if you are in the photo but its not a must. “Do you think this girl is attractive?” Some girls are bold enough to grab your phone and inspect. I usually grab it back and say something like “My aren’t you grabby” they usually catch an attitude and say “ You asked me!” Just continue and show them the photo again. No matter what they say about the picture does not matter. Just say thanks and ask them there name. Always clarify the name and use it again right away. Most girls will ask who the girl was in the photo. Now I cant go through every variation of this whole thing with you guys, you just got to play with it. But I have said to one girl who said the chick in the photo was ugly. Me: “Its my sister” The girls laughed, thought I was crazy, and just kept hanging out with me. I said to another girl” Its some girl that broke my heart a few months ago and I just wanted to see what a better looking girl thought of her” I got awwws. And, “Your pretty slick aren’t you?” Got their #s. I never called those broads. Whats wrong with me.

Another variation is: Ask them to help you with your next text to another chick.

I know you all just gasped but hear me out. You all will say it looks needy. Looks like you don’t know how to say things to other women. Looks like you are already involved and therefore disqualifying yourself. Nope. Nope and nope.

Both of these techniques I have learned do a few things in addition to what I mentioned above. It disarms them because they think you like someone else. It also inspires the competitiveness in them to wonder how hot this other girl must be if you are approaching them about her. It automatically makes them think about texting with you. It just generally gets the hamster spinning and unguarded. Gives you plenty of time to explain or disqualify the other girl and make them feel like you like them better, or maybe not. It’s a classic Trojan Horse. I have a post around here somewhere about this whole thing but you never know who might read it here. By the way for those that know me. This is how I picked up my Train Girl. For those that don’t, the short story is I got her half naked at my house and couldn’t close.Point is I did get a girl back to my house and half naked all starting with the above line. The interm is not important in this thread. The whole idea though is as for a cold approach…It definitely works.

(Another aside note. It’s a bonus if your text message log is filled with other girls names. Girls notice, but this could go either way for you. Actually, just for humor… In my phone I put Smiley faces next to strong plates. I put indifferent faces :-| next to girls numbers that I got but have not materialized fully yet, and I put frown faces next to girls I bombed out on or have broken up with. I wont get to into how his started but I have had two girls ask me “So.. what does/will my name get next to it.” I know the whole thing seems juvenile and idiotic but it seems to actually add to my game so I am keeping it around for now.)

cont. in next post

Continued from previous post

You know what, I feel kinda silly admitting this but it is after all a PUA (sort of) website, so I am just going to go ahead and say it. The OP is asking anyway about cold approaches and ya know what, with all the work I still need with my inner frame and all that, my cold approaches are pretty damn good.

The Scarf: AKA The Scarf of Iniquity or The Golden Fleece (as called by my friends)

I was doing this actually before I heard about peacocking but I think that is the general idea of whats going on here with the scarf. So you guessed it, I wear a scarf. I actually wear the damn thing a lot. I have a few. No nothing weird like a boa or some wack sh!t like that. Just a scarf.

I didn’t realize it when I started wearing it but girls love the damn thing. Its uncanny. They always play with it, they always compliment it, I have used it in body language demonstrations, some even take it off of me and put it on( always smells of my cologne more compliments). I even used it to lasso a girl once. She didn’t like that, but her friends did! A few girls have said it was the first thing they noticed about me and told me this and its almost a direct quote but from multiple girls…”I saw you with this scarf on indoors and was like who is this guy with the scarf on? But wow, he kinda pulls it off.” Two other different girls asked me or mentioned “With your Burberry Scarf on blah blah blah.” Its old navy by the way. 8 bucks.

One girl did try and neg me on it. “Whats with the scarf are you cold” I just said ”No are you? You can wear it if you are.” (handing it to her) She said” No thanks but you smell good what are you wearing." I told her the name of a popular perfume that all girls know of right now. She laughed. I actually kissed that girl later that night. No idea what her name is though.
It sounds so dumb in type actually but the damn thing is a chick magnet. My friend after being out with me one night even stole the damn thing!

Negs work:
Opening with negs is dicey too, but they do work. Again, seems a bit underhanded and juvenile to me to type this but it is a reality. Negs work. I would get better at cold approaches before you try this. I also would never use this on a girl in a day walking cold approach.

Quick story to illustrate the point.

There is a 8.5 that works at my gym. She also works out there. The other day I was watching her work out and the girl had my engines revving. Following day I saw her behind the counter…make up caked on. I thought to myself this girl looked so hot the other day, hair up, sweaty, yoga pants, baggy cut off gym shirt. Now, she looks so much LESS hot with the lipstick and cover up and eye shadow.

So…the next time I signed in at the gym she said "hello". And without missing a step in my walk I told her” Whats with all the make up today, your better looking than that.” She started following me as I am walking past the counter and into the locker room “ Wait, what, why, what do you mean?” I just glanced over my shoulder and smirked at her. She blushed. The next time I saw her… She had on 75 percent less make-up. Un-fukcing believable. There are 4500 members at my gym. In one passing comment I changed this girls whole outward persona. And… I sh!t you not. This girl went from indifferent “hey how are yas” To blushing and fluttering her eyes at me every time I see her now. Trying to initiate conversation and following me with her eyes. I don’t think I can get her number though because I have gone to that well to many times lately and I am going to end up being “That guy” if I am not already.

Another one to boost your confidence a little:

I even once told a girl at the bar. “There is coffee and yaya dripping from the ceiling” Yep, no typos. That’s exactly what I said to her. I was telling my friend the same thing I am telling you guys here…You can say anything you want and to prove it to him I told him before I approached that would be my exact line to her.

Obviously he dared me to and I did it. Obviously as well, the chick thought I was out of my mind. She obviously asked me to repeat what I just said to her to I gave her the come hither to get closer so I could say it closer to her ear. I repeated the jibberish and she made a face like I had puked on her shoes. Then she said “ What are you f^ckin wasted or something” So I made her get close again and said “ Nope, I just wanted to get a better smell of your perfume, its intoxicating and I smelled it when you walked in” ( By the way, total lie, they were there before me Im sure) She was like” Dude, you are a total creeper aren’t you. Freak.” So I said “Naw. Just like your perfume.” Then began to walk away. She grabbed my arm and asked. “Wait. Where are you going. That’s it!” and I said “Yep.”

Truth be told the girl was a smoke show and I have to admit the creep/freak comment got me a little nervous so I kinda ejected in hopes she might come up to me later on. Didn’t happen.

So anyway, in closing OP. Say whatever the hell comes to your mind. Even if you stammer and stutter at first you are still not out of it. Just tell her you are used to talking to men and you just switched sides. Or tell her you’re a virgin. Tell her you don’t know how to talk to woman yet because you were studding to be a priest. Dude, you can say anything at all!!! Just say it. If you bomb completely, its not you, its her. Ok. It might be you, so what.

Lastly, you still “notice” 6.5s?:down: Stop it. Talk to hotter girls than that man.

Shoot for the stars and you’ll at least hit the moon.

(assuming she had a phone, what woman doesn't)

Opener: Hi I saw a bunch of smoke coming out of that phone, wondered if you needed me to all the fire department for you

(talk to her)

Closer: That poor phone is already overworked and underpaid. Why don't you give me the number to it.. one more person isn't going to hurt!

Don't think too much what you should do or say. Next time try to approach a bit closer and observe how a girl will react then. Will she still be looking at you. Will she smile or something and then just be spontaneous. Do what you will feel that in this moment is best thing to do. Usually girls like to see that guy is relaxed and simple. When they see that a guy is trying to approach with some cliché stuff....nah..that usually ends up stupid
