You should NEVER take chicks "advice" because asking them for advice already shows them you aren't a man. Chicks just expect you to "get it" and a chicks point of view in not a man's reality anyway.
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.
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.
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.
False.MetalFortress said:If your mom is a sugar-coater or is just dumb, ask your sister or aunt. General rule: family will be more honest with you than non-family will.
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.
Mike32ct said:Asking women for advice shows weakness. This puts you in friendzone, if you aren't already there. Then she gives you advice AS A FRIEND. She then has this frame, "What would be a nice thing that a FRIEND would do for me?"
That's the type of advice she will give, NOT "What would make my 'gina tingle?". That is the farthest thing from her mind because you are like a brother to her, AT BEST.
At worst, if she REALLY finds you unattractive, she usually WANTS you to FAIL with the ladies. I hesitate to say that, but it's true. A lot of AWs find it AMUSING when a guy fails with women. They won't admit it, but it's a HUGE ego boost and sort of a power trip to know they can get guys easily but they know this guy that can't get (or can't easily get) a girl. Does she respect that the guy is trying? No. Now, he's a TRYHARD loser, which is more fun gossip fodder so she can make fun of him behind his back.Men have way more empathy or sympathy when you need this type of advice.

Who Dares Win said:Thats why I suggest to any young guy in here who wants to change his life, to leave any group who consider him in a certain way and leave any situation who remind them of their past failure
or pose as a obstacle wheter are parents expecting him to be "nice" or and ex-gf who consider him a second class man.
Amen to that. And funny how they berate you when you aren´t dating, having wife/children. Illogical much?Who Dares Win said:False.
Your mother is the first woman who wants you to remain her little children who has to rely on her for any love, she still see you as her kid no matter how old and big you are.
You as a kid have no place into dealing with women or sexuality, plus she doesnt want any other woman to take away your need of love from her.
Regarding your family in general, they dont see you as a man, they see you as a child as well, you're still the kid who was opening presents for xmas, whatever you were most of your life
you are still that for them, they dont believe in changes, there are no such things as becoming a man to them.
