"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I remember when I first got into C&F routines and the whole bit, and reading up on them, I remember reading David DeAngelo's, "perfect answering machine message." At the time I thought he meant something ****y and funny you could leave on your voicemail box, so women that would call would hear and get some automatic C&F waiting for them, at least till I myself could stuff them full of it.

Turns out, he was really meaning it was a message to leave on someone else's machine, in the instance they don't answer. While his advice helped with this situation, it got me to thinking...

Is there a ****y and funny answering machine message that I could leave on my voicemail box that would sound.....interesting and do the trick? Ideas anyone?:rock:
 

"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.

damn, what about just "Please leave a message and I'll get back to you"?
you don't have to be in DeAngelo mode 24/7

what if its a business call or something?

Try one that you make them look needy for calling you and actually waiting till the machine picked up.
 

"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.

I used to have a prank message that sounded as if it was me answering the phone, 'Hi, who's that? Oh Hi, how are you doing? etc. Ha got ya, leave a message.'

Ok, I stole the idea off Sam Malone.

One things for sure, in the pickup world, C and F is probably the most misunderstood technique.
