"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.

I want to know why do guys ask the following:

Are you a virgin?
How many guys have you slept with?
How many boyfriends have you had?

And I am happy lying through my teeth, so what would be respectable response.

I usually give some really bizarre answers to these questions, but need to know what a respectable answer would be.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Well its not for sure "insecurity" as the feminists say to make guys ashamed of those questions,but keep in mind that wheter you like it or not many guys till now consider girls as "territory" and they want that territory to be theirs only.
Even if it can sound bad,would like more a new car fresh from the industry or a used car from 3 owners?
Well everybody would like the new car because it make him satisfied about being the only one to ever had it,and he dont want the used one for that reason not because he is afraid to be unable to drive as good as the previous owners.

Just like an used car have some parts not working,something similar can be said about a girl,a guy after 10 years of sex is the same as he would be if he was virgin,not the same can be said about a girl and im not talking about vagina size only.

What can you answer to them? well since you wrote sometime that you are used to meet with south asian guys who think in a more "conservative" way,i suggest you to avoid the "shame tactic"(its your insecurity bla bla) suggested in woman magazine,just tell them 2 or 3 or that you are virgin if you are young.
Or better yet find a guy and stay with him only,leave male natural behaviour to males and keep the feminine one. :p

Guys, why are we allowing Cinamon in on our secret techniques to dominate the opposite sex? She's an agent of the female domain. I guarantee she's going back to the sisterhood and spilling our secrets of attraction in order that they may be one step ahead in playing this "game."

Are yall blinded because of some hope yall end up with her? I don't know but if we tolerate this any longer these secret attraction techniques will lose it's potency. For all you know she might be a reporter and has her own article column in Cosmo.

lol. I have only told one female friend I am on a male discussion forum and the valuable insight i receive from you kind gentlemen :cheer:

I wont tell her the name of the forum though, cause she doesnt need to know half the stuff that i have posted on here about me, or exactly where my morals lie.

Believe me, i wont be going back to the sisters to tell them all bout this, and seeing as over 95% of you are in the states, how many of your potential women am i likely to interact with anyway.

I can put my hand on my heart and swear i have never used the knowledge gained from these forums to screw a guy over and i dont intend to.... i have plenty of my own techniques to do that if i wanted... but i have risen above that.

So pretty please, dont exclude me from this forum, i feel at home here.

Also, you can ask me anything you want and i will try to help you understand women better.
 

"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.

If a girl right now spend so much time on internet it means that she is not so attractive to average male(and that say so much),if she is spending her internet time in a male forum where people ask advice about women it means that she is even more ugly that the former possibility.
So in this case there is no tactic or technic that can change. :p
No offence Cinamon but its statistic that every average looking girl on western world have the world at her feet and those who spend time on forum are mostly ugly or repulsive.

If she was a cosmo writer she would just prented to be a man seeking for infos just to keep a low profile on here.

Don't lie.

1. Refuse to answer the question on the grounds that it will do know good.
2. Refuse to answer the queston on the grunds that a lady does not tell.
2. Refuse to answer the question on the grounds that is is not their business.
3. Answer honestly.


If you lie to your boyfriend about it and end up staying together for a long time chances are you will get found out. Then your BF will think even worse and probably feel hurt. So just don't answer or answer truthfully depending on the situation.

Where exactly in England do you live?

and why get so defensive over a joke :confused:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Feel free to steal exactly from the guy playbook.... go C+F.

How many guys you been with? "You mean today?" No seriously, how many? "10 before lunch." Stop playing, how many "Only 5 after lunch. I need a shower."

If they keep pushing I'd tell them to buzz off / not their business.


Oh and if he asks if you're a virgin, Say something like I am tonight, or of course and remember to say it hurts when he's in. ;)

I second this. I seriously hate the fact that a female is on this board asking questions. I don't even like when these gurus ie. Dave D'Angelo use females in their seminars to give advice on how to attract womoen. Dont know why, just feel this way.

Actually, I'm cool with women asking questions on here. People can always gives give lies as true answers, but a question is always more honest and telling. To answer your question about why guys ask those questions: they want to have sex with you. That's it. Other than that, it's a question of what kind of condition are they willing to put up with, which varies from guy to guy. Some guys like sluts, some like virgins, and some like a girl with experience. How to answer them repsectfully is to either answer it or tell them its not the time or place for it.

If the guy is looking for a LTR, he is hoping your number of past partners is low. It would hurt to know your girl has been with a lot of guys.

If the guy is only looking for a fling, he is hoping your number of partners is pretty high so you'll be perceived as an easy score. But it can be a turn off if it's too high. Someone like that might be perceived as an STD risk.

I'd be more concerned about Mystery who made pickup mainstream with his tv show or Style with his books. This reached far more women than any girls on here ever could.
 

"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.

jacob, you think all of a sudden women are gonna stop having sex with men? :crackup:

These so-called "secrets" that you're referring to are nothing of the sort. I'm just attractive to women, I'm not using any secrets mate, haha

"Game" being flashed around the mainstream poses no "threat" whatsoever. The only thing girls could possibly become aware of is lines. And if you use canned mystery method lines you're probably a retard anyway because they sound ridiculously goofy.

to semi answer the original question: i think only insecure guys would ask that. i could care less if the girl is a virgin, how many guys shes slept with, and how many boyfriends theyve had. why? because based on personal experience all women are slooters including this chick

We want to know how much experience a woman has sexually so we have a better understanding of how to build up the sexual relationship. We ask about virginity because it's as basic as you can get, and only if the woman is sexually active can you lead to the next question.

Guys ask questions like these mostly out of curiosity.

I must admit that I have no clue why you feel the need to question why we ask sexually-oriented questions...it should be very obvious, and if you lie through your teeth what are you trying to accomplish with that? I can only see a trend of dishonesty to follow if you hit guys with bizarre responses.

The only respectable answer possible is the truth.
This truth could be "I feel uncomfortable answering your questions" if you feel that way.

Whatever you do though, don't lie. I've lied before and it all sums up to insecurity. My parents asked me if I ever tried cigarettes, and I said no because I believe that they wouldn't handle the truth properly. If you want a strong relationship you can't do this because you have to open yourself up as much as you can to your partner. I only lied to my parents because we have an unbreakable relationship and there was no need to get them worried about me.

Whoever you are, I really hope you listen to me because it's all to your benefit...you know if you really wanted to you could just ask men the same exact questions as they ask you. I think that would level the playing field a lot for ya.

Just be open and talk about yourselves sexually, that's all there is to it.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
