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.
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.
Well then now we are back to our original question-why give out the number in the first place if you have no interest?Johnnyventana said:She may also not feel the connection, but isn't looking to fk you.
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.
You make the good impresssion before the number close, so she actually does want to see you again. Make her want to hang out with you, not the other way around. She should be asking you when your free to hang, not the other way around. She should be begging you to free up your busy life to spend 1 precious hour with her just getting coffee so she can try and impress you and prove she is worthy of your attention.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
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.
Another thing for me, that's pretty much in the same vein, is when girls say OMG WE NEED TO HANG OUTTIC said:I think its stupid for women to give out their numbers but never follow up on it. You get their number send a few texts back and then she just stops responding. Why? Just don't give it out... you stupid b1tch
This is baffling to men. Men would never do such a thing. We are logical
On the other hand, a very large portion of men in this country need to gtfo because women have too many options which is the root cause of the flaking. Maybe if WW3 happens soon, we will become like russia and men will be in short supply because the rest died off in wars
Yup, it would literally take a world war for things to be fair in the dating scene for men
In all honesty, its really hard to make that good of an impression in a bar/club setting. You simply don't have the time or any kind of common bond other than drinking. Flake rates from bars are ALWAYS going to be sky high no matter what. For a lot of people its the only way to meet girls which is fine but you just simply need to accept that its a numbers game and you'll always have a low success rate getting numbers at bars.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
Not all guys are lucky enough that they're born with game (or common sense), or reach epiphanys luck Sosuave and other sites; most are exposed to the BS of western America, treating women like Queens everywhere. It almost seems like a conspiracy to me; maybe I've got selective perception, but I notice many commercials about anything, usually involving a husband and wife where the wife is complaining about the husband being a loser, or it is subtly displayed in the sketch.JdelaSilviera said:No Tic, you don´t need www3. Men just need to learn to live without sex, raise their standards, and stop pursuing any girl they talk to. If men continue to behave like horny dogs, women control will continue. The less care bout sex, the more you´ll have.
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.
