"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.

When being a DJ will get you out of jail...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

And my C.O. is a lady, and I'm thinkin maybe
me and her can hook up a scheme, to be Swayze
Cause she keep on callin me baby, to a young
mother****er facin eighty that's enough to make me crazy
Now how long will it take, to get a hook
Got her watchin me liftin weights, sneakin looks
I devised a plan, I'm in the trunk while she drives
but man, ain't no disguise I'ma die as a man
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Charm will get you a long way in life. We complain about feminism, but if not for it, then there would not be so many women with power - whom to charm into doing our bidding. I plan to charm a lot of lady judges and jurors if I end up working as a trial attorney. When I worked in sales, almost all of my sales were to women. Being charming paid the bills. It also got me a ride home last month when my gf got a dui driving my drunk ass around and the cops impounded my car. I walked into a gas station at 3 am in the middle of nowhere with no wallet, no money, and no phone, and I had a ride home literally within two minutes, after talking to this teenage girl who was with her bf. I was not hitting on the girl, who was pretty hot, btw, merely talking to her, but she was the one telling her bf to give the the ride home, which was about thirty miles. I ended up giving them money for gas after they took me home, but it was being charming that made them trust me enough to pick up a stranger.

Very true, a very large part of succeeding in a career or business has to to with how charming, personable, and trustworthy you appear. Thats why this site and forum is so great, and is always promoting overall life improvement rather than just for being a PUA. Some of the skills that help a PUA are the same skills that can nail a job interview of get a promotion, or get just about anything you want out of someone. Just like how this guys got out of jail, and you got a ride home.

Well, I don't feel like I have any charm and below average looks, and don't have a concept of what charm is, other than feeling inadequate on it.

I believe charm is coming across as a cool, confident and with it together guy that just connects nicely with the person you want to manipulate to the point they feel you are doing them a favour rather than the other way around. So, that's my concept of it from what I have read on here or what I think.

I would like to see some threads that go into more detail about the idea of 'charm', since it seems like a root concept on something and am doing searches for them now and reading into them.
