"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.

Your look is the hook. Your personality is the reel.

There are a lot of guys that think they need a six pack or big biceps or a movie star face to get some hot girls. Okay seriously, no personality = no girls. As for the preferred bodytype.....every girl is different.

It's mainly about confidence and showing your the "alpha male" (term gets used too often here)

Your look is the hook, your personality is the reel. You can hook alot of fish, but if you are unable to reel them in then what's the point?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

well........I agree but which specific traits reel them in........oh I know confidence and humor........but saying just be confident is not specific.

Personality DOES NOT COVER: body language, openers, avitar, props,etc, etc.

Lets say GUY A is average looking and has a warm personality.........is that enough to seal the deal. Id say the basic components of "chemistry" is LOOKS VS. PERSONALITY.

i WOULD ADD.........atitude predetermines your altitude. One could have a cool personality but inject a bit of attitude and you results will grow exponentially. The ratio of importance of looks vs personality is approx. 70/30.

Everyone has peronality.........but charm, charisma,grace, bad boy edge, humor, etc are keys to a winning personality. Body language and outside influences ( cologne, apparel, jewelery, tonality, confidence, etc) ALSO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE.

Saying blanket statements like be confident, be funny, its personality, is way to general.

ITS A FACT.........openers do work, kino escalates the seduction process, active dis-interest, perceived confidence, etc, etc do infact alter your success rate.

I THINKA TON OF PEOPLE.........FORGET INNER GAME......the most important of all traits is simple put ONE MUST HAVE IT GOING ON WITHIN YOUR OWN MIND BEFORE you exude outer game.

You definitely don't need a 6 pack or have big biceps but if you want at least an 8+ you DO need to look good. A lot of people on here refuse to admit it but most 8+ no matter how charming or smooth you are will not give you the time of day on a cold approach if you're not good looking.

The only way can ugly dude can date/sleep with an 8+ is to already know the girl by mutual friends and slowly lady down the charm casually.

Or if he's super rich driving a Maybach. Looks decide how quickly and cheaply you get laid.

Looks get you in the door. Personality keeps you in the door. Personality is useless if you can't get in the f**king door.

Looks make the girl wanna be happy to talk about you with her friends. "Oh he's so goddamn sexy and he even looks fine while playing Mega Man 2!" All with a big smile on the face Someone in her circle may say "I wish I could have a Mega Man with me!" But if the guy is ugly and has a wonderful personality, the girl will be unhappy talking about you and bringing you around her social circle. It may even get to the point she dumps you cuz you're ugly.

Most guys say personality gets the girl. HELL NO! If it's all personality, you'll be like Indiana Jones evading the big rolling rock! i.e. the girl will test you all over the place.

Getting back to the original analogy, fish won't take a bare, boring hook. Put live bait on it and reel it in with all you got FTW!

Case closed.
 

"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.

Yep pretty much. Although I will add that looks can get you laid even if you don't have personality. To keep a HB8+ as a gf or regular fbuddy you need both.

I wish more DJs would man up and admit looks matter. I'm not even talking about fat guys vs fit guys. There are a lot of fit guys that are ugly (me) and they have the same problem as fat guys.

These looks related threads could be simply summed up in this way---just do whatever you can to look your best with what you've got. No, looks aren't everything. We've all seen "average" guys with attractive women that prove this. However it's no excuse to be lazy and neglect yourself. You sometimes see guys out in public that are dressed like bums, have no pride or self respect at all and then wonder why they seem to repel women. Maybe those guys have kick ass personalities that will draw the women, most don't find out because they come across as slobs and defeat themselves before the race even begins.

I think first impressions are bull**** but am not naive to admit they don't matter.
