"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.

What do you guys think about it?
Should you:

-Don't use it at all
-Use it less
-Use it in a less extreme way
-Keep it more funny than ****y
-or just do it the same way as a normal person.

Cause I'm having some trouble with it. Sometimes girls label me as arrogant or mean (and not in a playfull way, I know since those girls told my friends around my back).
 

"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.

first of all, cf is not supposed to be your magical chick magnet. its just an aspect that you can incorporate into your personality. it is NOt your personality. would you want to date a girl that was only sarcastic, all of the time? it'd be quite boring. cf is just an influence you can use if your feeling a bit low on the self esteem, it'll create the illusion you have it together. but as you'll eventually learn, it's not about the tricks you have, its how you present yourself. you dont want to over-do any aspect.

as for good looks, your either born with it or your not. and if you got em, then there's no question of whether its going to affect your game or not.

normally if you have good looks, c&f shouldnt be necessary. Use natural humor that's witty instead + charm and you'll make htem melt.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
"C&F" is a way to generate the illusion of self-confidence and self-esteem.

A better alternative is to have REAL confidence and REAL self-esteem. :p

I agree with most of the above but:

C+F is not just for confidence, it's to make it fun for you too. Also, to weed out the insecure females (that is if you're looking for a relationship). It does wonders when used correctly in attracting confident women.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Don't do any of those that you mentioned.

It's all about balance. Look here, it's a bad thing when a woman calls you "arrogant".....It's a good thing when a woman calls you "mean" *depending on the tone of her voice*.

Be ****y and funny....balance it out the best you can....It's alright if you're a little over funny...but you'll have to back it up with extra ****y.....but...it's best to have enough of each....

Well kind of the reason why I posted this is this:
Back when I just started trying to be more succesfull I guess I overdid it and then got some girls label me as arrogant. That was back in summer holiday. Now I get things much better and get girls attracted to me at school, since they pretty much didn't have an impression of me yet. But the thing is that I still come in contact with those girls (in my spare time with friends, going out and stuff) that do have the arrogant impression of me and stick with it and that kind of sucks since they also spread it among their close friends.
Guess that's the value of social proof that's helping me at school but screwing it for me in other places....

I know I'm a newb, but I'll still put in my $0.02. If girls see you as arrogant, I'd just tone it down a little bit, and do it a litle less often, not get rid of it completely. I tried it and worked amazing for me.

Sorta Related story one day in class:
I took this sexy foreign girl's seat. After she came back and saw me there, I moved to the one next to her cause we had to share a computer for this presentation. I was looking at shoes before she came. She went to some card game on yahoo games. After she got bored, she told me I could have it. I wen't "Unlike YOU, I'm trying to learn something!" She giggled with a huge smile and said, "AT least I'm not shopping for shoes online." We played around like that for the rest of the class.

Long story short, C&F worked amazingly for me. Maybe cause I used to be afraid of offending people and all that other stuff. Maybe it just allowed me to relax and be myself, cause when I used to try to be funny everybody with look at me stupid like, :rolleyes: . Maybe cause that was high school and had a rep for not being funny. Whatever
