"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Who has the best game?

"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.

I have to say Nino and Norway are probably the best. Jaedon (Jack Wealthy) seems to be quite good. BPH and LearningSlowly have rapidly improved. Basically anyone who runs a journal is good here.

Except me of course haha.
But yeah most of the journals here are all worth reading.
 

"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.

What does game mean?
Is it the ability to approach? Number closing? Instant make out? Your ability to be an alpha? Your conversation skills? Your social dynamics? Your hs reputation? Your overall knowledge of the game?
My general consensus is that being in hs, we are still too young to be fully immersed in game. In hs, game can mean a lot of things, so simply saying 'game' seems too general to me. For us hslers we need to break it down into different parts.

Yeah.

Dude you're over complicating this sooooo much

I'm just trying to get a vibe for the place, dont need to think about it any more than that. Sure we could break down everyones strengths and weaknesses but thats way too much effort. You get laid on a consistent basis=good game. Thats all I was asking for right meow.

In that case, LearningSlowly, Nino and I. I haven't read the last few pages of Norwegians journal, but the last time I read he had sex was a while ago. Fukctonne of makeouts though. Far more than me.

Nino has sex a fair bit.

Josh gets it regularly. The improvement is the best thing.

I haven't had sex in like a month.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Me.

I wouldn't say my game is that good, but I'm flattered to be put in some of these lists. Game is a non-permanent thing. You may have perfect game with one girl, when you're really in state, and she likes you. Or you may fail and flounder over and over with other girls, no matter the situation. I have some of both, I think we all do.

We have some people getting there. I'll throw my name in there, though you won't see me post much on here right now.

To Alex, Josh, etc.

Game is two points: amount of fun had, amount of girls had. That is all. It doesn't matter if you're a mute and afraid of the dark, bang chicks in broad daylight on parkbenches. It is irrelevant to le game.

Much better definition of game than the one I was assuming. Amount had over the course of life or one experience?
