How do you make a girl laugh when you're not naturally funny? (what worked for an analytical guy like me)

I'm a 5'4" former aerospace engineer. When I started, every approach I ran turned into a job interview because I was taught it was polite to ask about people, but also because I was too nervous to think of anything to say. So I'd default to:

  • Where are you from?
  • What do you do?
  • What's your favorite hobbies?

I thought I was building rapport, but what I was actually doing was being a value leech (at worst creepy). And this would always land me in the friend zone, one polite question at a time.

The mistake analytical guys make is treating attraction like a data-gathering problem. You interview her, plan to act on the data later. Except she's already formed her decision about you while you're still collecting requirements. You're taker and she has to be the giver.

Twenty minutes of tension-free Q&A and her brain files you under "friend/boring" The dry conversation IS the rejection.

The fix isn't better questions. It's fewer questions. Replace them with playful reads: observations delivered as confident assumptions, no question mark, slight smirk, then hold the pause.

There's four levels to bantering. Here a flirting example cheat sheet I give students:

Level 0 is the trap. Job interview mode. Never start here.

Level 1, playful reads. "You're trouble, I can tell." "Let me guess, you're the oldest sibling." Grounded in something visible, said as a verdict not a question. Wrong guesses work as well as right ones, because when she corrects you she's volunteering real information you can run with. She says "actually I'm the youngest," you say "ah, the spoiled one, that explains a lot."

Level 2, us against the world. The frame moves from two strangers evaluating each other to a us as a couple and not individual strangers. "If anyone asks, we met on Tinder, meeting at a bar would just be weird." When she builds on the "we," you climb. When she answers polite without picking it up, drop back to Level 1 and earn another laugh first.

Level 3, big couple energy. Mock relationships, mock breakups, presumed intimacy played for laughs. "You're laughing at all my jokes, you're totally obsessed with me." Only lands after 1 and 2 built warmth, because the absurdity is only funny when you both already know it's absurd.

The promotion signal between every level is identical: she teases back. One laugh is politeness. A laugh plus a tease back plus her lean ing in and slapping your shoulder is the green light.

Here's how you test for whether any of this is working: ask yourself, if a cop interviewed her after the date, she should not be able to recite a single fact about you. Only that you were fun, or funny, or that you annoyed her in a way she liked.

A woman's natural state is emotional and you need to meet her there. The deep emotional connection comes after she's attracted to you and you've built up that flirting, sexual chemistry.

There's more to staying out of the friend zone, but this is the first step so you aren't auto-friendzoned.

Full breakdown with all 25 lines sorted by level and the recovery lines for when you slip back to job interview mode.

How do you flirt with a girl without it turning into a job interview? (what finally worked for me)

I'm a 5'4" former aerospace engineer. When I started, every approach I ran turned into a job interview because I was taught it was polite to ask about people, but also because I was too nervous to think of anything to say. So I'd default to:

European KPop Parties vs USA Kpop Parties: More Attractive And More Likely To Approach AMs

So I wrote previously about what I've seen at US Kpop parties (most recently on my Twitter), but there are two pretty profound differences at European ones.

One, European women were noticeably hotter. The slimness could be chalked up to Europeans generally being healthier weight than Americans, but the dressing-up effort was also higher. Two, the other difference: European women were more likely to actually approach Asian men.

https://preview.redd.it/flnitogxmg7h1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=406a9a059d3eb6996bc638977962acb190e03be6

In the US, I never saw a girl once approach an Asian guy at these parties.

Granted, I have a small slice of experience at these events in both the US and Europe, but enough nightlife experience overall to draw some general observations.

Every year I take a vacation after our VIP EuroTour Inner Game program. Last year I went to Slovakia. Descended onto a Kpop party in Bratislava and wanted to share what I observed because it lines up with what I've seen at LA Kpop parties. The Asian masculinity issue isn't just an American thing. The passivity shows up on both continents.

The venue was solid. Two underground stories, smoking allowed inside, decent layout. Easily 60%+ women. Real European 7s and 8s, more dolled up and slimmer than their American counterparts.

Three types of guys at the venue:

Type 1: Shy Asian dudes in shitty fits and bowl cuts from high school. Looked like they came straight from coding class. Stood by the wall and didn't talk to anyone.

Type 2: Kpopmaxxed Asian guys. Two-block haircuts, white shirts and black leather jackets. Taller and way better looking than Type 1. They were waiting around until a white girl would approach them, then they'd actually become aggressive and assertive enough to make something happen. I saw a few of these Asian brothers making out with girls in dark corners. Not many, but the AMWF hookups were happening.

Type 3: European white guys. Outnumbered the Asians. Showed up because the math was obvious. A few were doing real approaches, chatting girls up, grinding on them on the dancefloor.

I was still the only Asian man approaching anyone in the entire venue.

The energy was weird. Most of the men seemed to be waiting for women to pick them. The Type 2 guys had clearly put work into their fits. Way higher SMV than Type 1. Still didn't matter. They just stood there.

Compared to LA, Bratislava had way more Asian guys present, and way more of them were Kpopmaxxing their appearance. That's an improvement. But the passive selection-by-women dynamic was the same. The European guys still won most of the night because they were doing approaches, not standing pretty.

The takeaway: glow-ups and looksmaxxing matter, but they're half the work. If your fits are dialed and your fade is fresh, you've handled the part where women might select you. You still need to actually approach when you want someone specific.

Curious if anyone else here has hit a Kpop party in their city. Have you noticed if there's a different dynamic in Toronto, NYC, Seattle, London, Berlin? Is the passive-Asian-guy pattern showing up everywhere or are some cities different?

Go To Your Local KPop Parties If You Want Rejection Free Approaches And 10:1 Gender Ratio In Your Favor

Went to a Kpop party in LA last year during the Stray Kids album drop. Wanted to share what I observed because it contradicts a lot of the doomer narrative I see elsewhere.

The gender ratio was 10 girls for every 1 guy. That's not a typo. Two-story venue, one main dance floor playing Kpop, packed wall to wall with women who were there for Korean culture specifically.

Demographic breakdown of the women:

- 40% Asian

- 20% Black

- 20% white

- 20% Hispanic

Attractiveness was a flat distribution. Some unattractive, mostly average, but a fair number of LA-hot girls in the mix. The math was completely lopsided in favor of the few men who were there.

Here's the weirdest part and the reason I'm writing this post.

The Asian guys were SEVERELY outnumbered by Hispanic and Black men. Even white men outnumbered the Asian men. At a Korean culture event. With a crowd of women who were specifically there because they love Korean culture.

The other races figured out years ago that Kpop parties are a target-rich environment for meeting women who are pre-disposed to Asian culture. White, Hispanic and Black guys massively outnumbered Asian guys. Even though the demographic of these women were primed to find attractive, Asian men just didn't show up.

The non-Asian guys who did okay only did okay because they outnumbered the Asian men in the room. The competition of men was Low T and poorly dressed in monochrome. Any AMs with good style and approach skills would have cleaned up.

I was getting checked out across the floor consistently. Not because I'm anything special, but because the math was so favorable that the few Asian guys who showed up had attention defaulting to them. Any Asian guy who could approach with rizz had his pick of who he was going home with that night. If he had shown up.

That's the part that bothers me. This sub talks a lot about systemic disadvantages, Hollywood representation, dating app discrimination, all real issues.

But here's an event where the math actively favors Asian men, where the women have pre-selected for Korean culture, where the competition from other ethnicities is mostly low-effort guys betting on numbers, and the Asian men who would benefit most just aren't there.

There are now KPop parties in pretty much every major US city. NY, LA, Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, DC, basically anywhere with a sizeable Asian American population. The venues vary but the demographic skew is consistent across cities (I've also been to Bratislava and saw similar patterns in Europe which I'll write about in the future).

Practical takeaway: if you're an Asian guy in any major US city, find your local Kpop Club Night listing and go to the next event. Dress like you put effort in with some KPopmaxxing. Approach with some rizz. The math is doing half the work for you.

Post your experience going to any of these Kpop parties.

Why I think 90% of confidence with women problems are just pedestal problems wearing a different mask

Was coaching a student in Hollywood last month. He was working the bar, a little stuck on approach anxiety, and I told him to just pick the next woman who walked through the door regardless of looks. The woman who walked in was, by his read, pretty average. Maybe a 5 or a 6. Not someone he would have approached on his own. He almost didn't go up to her because she wasn't attractive enough for him to feel like the effort was worth it.

But because I'd told him to, he went. Easy open, light banter, asked for her Instagram, got it, didn't even look at the handle. Saved it in his phone, came back to the group, kept drinking.

Next morning he calls me. Voice tight. Turns out she's a big influencer. Over a million followers. He'd been Googling her all morning and finding modeling shoots, brand deals, the whole production package.

Suddenly he's panicking about following up with her. Asking me what to text her, what photos he should put on his profile before she looks him up, whether he's even in her league. The night before, he almost didn't approach her because she wasn't pretty enough. Twelve hours later, he was freezing because of the number under her username.

This is the part that should bother you if you've been blaming approach anxiety on her being too hot.

He approached her well precisely because he didn't care. The nonchalance came from genuinely not being invested in the outcome. She read that as confidence and gave him her IG without hesitation. Then he found out she was "above him" by some external metric (followers, in this case, but it could be a job title, a face card, a curated feed) and immediately lost the exact thing that made the approach work.

The girl didn't change and the bar didn't change. He did. His perception loaded a new threat level onto her and his nervous system responded to the threat level, not to the woman.

Most approach anxiety isn't about her appearance. It's about whatever your brain has decided makes her "above" you, and that decision is usually based on production: makeup, contouring, lash extensions, hair extensions, filtered photos, follower counts, the manufactured version of her that you compare to your unfiltered version of you. The gap is the pedestal. The pedestal is the freeze.

The fix isn't more courage. It's a more realistic view of what you're actually looking at. Stop locking onto details (her face, her body, her numbers) and start looking at the whole scene the way she does. Women scan environments before they zoom in on faces. Men lock onto one target and tunnel. The tunnel is what reads as desperation, and that's before you've said a word.

When you stop pedestalizing her based on what's manufactured and start seeing her as just another person in the room, the nonchalance my student had on the approach becomes your default state. Not because you're suppressing attraction, but because you're no longer manufacturing intimidation on top of it.

I'm posting because if there's one shift that would do more for your approach success than any opener or routine, it's adopting a more realistic view of what's actually in front of you. See past the makeup, the hair, the dress, the production. The "intimidating" 8 in front of you is a normal girl with her own insecurities and baggage, just like you. Once you can actually see that, you'll do more to kill your approach anxiety than any amount of pickup material you've ever consumed.

I write more about what I do like Terminator Vision here: Confidence with Women: Why You Think She's Out of Your League

Curious if anyone here has had the same thing happen in reverse: approached a girl thinking she was a 6, found out later she was a model or an actress or whatever, and your brain rewrote the night.

If you've worked on your mindset and your body but still feel invisible to women, it's probably your wardrobe. Here's how I fixed it.

https://preview.redd.it/lzpyr2353r0h1.jpg?width=1997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50b922bb11fa78aaeb9d2a7d1d8aab59e2406ac9

TLDR (mods feel free to delete if it doesn't fit your guidelines:

  1. Most self-improvement guys put work into mindset, physical fitness, career, and skills. Fashion gets ignored even though it's the fastest-paying improvement available.
  2. The system: pick a sexual avatar (Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Kdrama oppa, and five others). Build a $600 wardrobe around it. Run the 7-Point System for assembling outfits. Hit 7+ and women start noticing you.
  3. For short guys: heightmaxxing in footwear gives you 2 inches of perceived height with no surgery and no recovery time. K-pop has been doing this in plain sight for years.
  4. Color theory matters. The LMD rule (light, medium, dark) prevents the all-black uniform problem most guys default to.
  5. Case study: a 5'7" guy with broken English did this overhaul in one weekend, met a 6-foot Ukrainian woman a month later, dated her three years, married her. He didn't change his height, his face, or his accent. He changed the variables he could control.

Most guys serious about self-improvement put real work into mindset (journaling, therapy, meditation, reading), physical fitness (gym, nutrition, sleep), career (skills, networking, certifications), and social skills (conversation practice, friend-building). Fashion gets treated as either trivial or as something you do after the rest is fixed.

The math doesn't work that way. Fashion is the fastest-paying improvement category available to most guys. The gym takes 6 to 18 months to produce visible change. Mindset work compounds over years. Fashion produces visible change in a single weekend and that change is what determines whether the rest of your work gets seen.

You can be the most well-read, emotionally intelligent, physically fit guy in the room. If your clothes are signaling "ignore me," none of that gets noticed by women you haven't already known for years. The wardrobe is the proximal variable that lets your existing improvement be perceived.

Here's the system.

Step one: pick a sexual avatar. This is the kind of man your clothes communicate. Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Kdrama oppa, Softboi, Metrosexual, Meathead, Goth, and Dancer. Ten total, drawn from real cultural reference points. The avatar is the first decision because the clothes are downstream of the man you're projecting. Pick the avatar that fits your face, body, and the woman you actually want.

Step two: assemble the outfit using the 7-Point System. Seven categories scored.

- The base (top, bottom, shoes) is worth 3 points for being properly dressed.

- Your statement piece (the leather jacket, the structured coat, the textured knit) is worth 2 points because it defines the avatar.

- Footwear is worth 1 point on its own, with a height bonus for short guys.

- Accessories and a personal detail (fragrance, a signature ring, a pocket square) stack 1 to 2 more points when they work together.

- Color theory doesn't add points but breaks the system if you get it wrong. The LMD rule (light, medium, dark) is non-negotiable.

Most guys score 3 or 4 by default. The system gets you to 7+, which is where women actually notice you across a room.

https://preview.redd.it/qgl48mg63r0h1.png?width=2848&format=png&auto=webp&s=358b6ff9764550cb4eaf38feb4f4c682c63a5186

Step three for short guys: heightmaxxing in footwear. Boots with a 1.5 to 2 inch heel as your default. Platform sneakers and Chelsea boots add another inch. K-pop has been doing this for years and the chunky-sole, oversized-coat silhouette is designed to camouflage the boost. In Korea it's actually unusual for a guy to not be wearing some kind of lift. The Western stigma against shoe lifts works against you while the competition silently takes the inches.

Case study: Jason. 5'7", slim build, broken English, FOBBY haircut when he came in. Smart, kind guy who'd done the harder improvement work but stayed invisible to women. We ran the system over a single weekend. New cut, Suited Gentleman avatar with a Kdrama edge, fitted black turtleneck and structured blazer, slim trousers, boots with the height boost. The next month he met a 6-foot European woman. They dated three years. She flew 7,000 miles to be with him in Hong Kong. They got married.

He didn't change the variables most guys obsess over (height, face, accent). He changed three variables he could actually control (hair, style, presence) and that earned him the visibility his other improvement work needed to actually be seen. Same guy producing different signal and different results.

The single highest-leverage dating fix most guys ignore: their wardrobe. Here's the weekend overhaul that actually works.

https://preview.redd.it/l6jmgsyv0r0h1.jpg?width=1997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cc4b74508801cfcde07ec402f60a1db8f22b9e9

TLDR:

  1. Most dating advice focuses on confidence, conversation, and apps. Fashion gets ignored even though it's the fastest-paying intervention available.

  2. The system: pick a sexual avatar (Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Kdrama oppa, and five others). Build a $600 wardrobe around it. Run the 7-Point System for assembling outfits. Hit 7+ and women actually notice you across a room.

  3. For short guys: heightmaxxing in footwear (boots with a heel, platform sneakers, Chelsea boots) gives you 2 inches of perceived height with no surgery, no pain.

  4. Color theory matters. The LMD rule (light, medium, dark) prevents the all-black uniform problem most guys default to.

  5. Case study: a 5'7" guy with broken English ran this system, met a 6-foot Ukrainian woman in Kyiv, dated her three years, married her. He didn't change his height, his face, or his accent. He changed the variables he could actually control.

Most dating advice on this sub focuses on conversation, confidence, and apps. Those matter but they're downstream of the variable that gets you noticed in the first place: how you look when she sees you across the room or on her screen. Fashion is the fastest-paying dating intervention available and most guys are massively underbuilt on it.

The reason it pays out faster than gym work is that the math is concrete. You can run the full system in a single weekend. New haircut, $600 wardrobe overhaul, footwear upgrade. By Monday morning women are looking at you differently. The same is not true of gym work, which takes 6 to 18 months to show first visible results.

Here's the system.

https://preview.redd.it/7oin5zp11r0h1.png?width=2848&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ce03dbed961b263b1f13d81cef841e677c15544

Step one: pick a sexual avatar. This is the kind of man your clothes communicate. Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Kdrama oppa, Softboi, Metrosexual, Meathead, Goth, and Dancer. Ten total, drawn from real cultural reference points (think Henry Golding for Suited Gentleman, Jay Park for Bad Boy, BTS for Kdrama oppa). Pick the avatar that fits your face, body, and the kind of woman you want to attract. Most guys skip this step and grab whatever fits at the store, which is why they end up in a polo and khakis that signal nothing.

Step two: assemble the outfit using the 7-Point System. Seven categories scored.

- The base (top, bottom, shoes) is worth 3 points for being properly dressed.

- Your statement piece (the leather jacket, the structured coat, the textured knit) is worth 2 points because it defines the avatar.

- Footwear is worth 1 point on its own, with a height bonus for short guys.

In Korea it's actually unusual for a guy to not be wearing some kind of lift. The Western stigma against shoe lifts works against you while the competition silently takes the inches.

Case study: Jason. 5'7", slim build, broken English, FOBBY haircut when he came in. We did a full glow up in a single weekend. New cut, Suited Gentleman avatar with a Kdrama edge, fitted black turtleneck and structured blazer, slim trousers, boots with the height boost. The next month he would approach a tall European woman. They dated three years. She flew 7,000 miles to be with him in Hong Kong. They're now married.

He didn't change the variables most guys obsess over (height, face, accent). He changed three variables he could actually control (hair, style, presence) and that earned him +2 to +3 in how women perceived him. Same guy producing different signal and different results.

Fashion is the easiest +2 SMV most guys ignore (7-point system, $600 wardrobe, before/after photos inside)

https://preview.redd.it/gr52qjbvuq0h1.jpg?width=1997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5902c5143e67fa11c51a540030b248246a74789d

TLDR before the doomers show up:

  1. This assumes you don't have great fashion sense already. If your style is working, skip this post.
  2. This isn't boyfriendcore (the trendy, safe style for guys who already have a girlfriend). Edgy fashion is what gets women who would normally walk past you to actually look at you. A few of my students have even had women approach them after running this system.
  3. You can't be invisible and attractive at the same time. Pick one.
  4. You can build a complete wardrobe for $600 if you skip designer labels.
  5. This isn't theorycrafting. Every student I've run through this has added +2 SMV points, with women becoming visibly more receptive to their approaches. Jason in the case study is a 5'7" guy with broken English who cold approached a 6-foot blonde in Kyiv, dated her three years, and married her.

One of the recurring questions on every dating sub is how to dress to actually attract women, rather than just look "presentable." So here's the long-form answer, aimed at getting you out of the high school hand-me-down or business-casual uniform and into a style that fits your personality while producing real results with women.

The starting point isn't the clothes. It's picking a sexual avatar. Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Metrosexual, Softboi, Musician, and a few others. The avatar is the first decision you make because the clothes are downstream of the man you're projecting.

Most guys skip this step, grab whatever fits at the store, and end up in a polo and khakis that signal nothing. Pick the avatar first, then build the outfit to match.

Once the avatar is locked in, the 7-Point System scores the outfit you're assembling. Seven categories, each weighted by impact. The base (top, bottom, shoes) is worth 3 points just for being dressed.

https://preview.redd.it/l9m3799wuq0h1.png?width=2848&format=png&auto=webp&s=425826687d8a7b4d30dcac923a6fbb021c917f16

Your statement piece (the leather jacket, the structured coat, the textured knit) is worth 2 points because it's the item that defines the avatar. Footwear earns 1 point on its own, with a heightmaxx bonus available for short guys who use the boots correctly.

Accessories, minor accessories, and a personal detail (fragrance, a signature ring, a pocket square) combine for another 1 to 2 points when they work together as a coherent finishing layer.

Color theory doesn't add points but breaks the whole system if you get it wrong, which is why the LMD rule (light, medium, dark) is non-negotiable.

Most guys score 3 or 4 without trying. They put on jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers and walk out. That's the floor. The system shows you how to get to 7+, which is the territory where women actually notice you.

For the short guys, footwear is where you have an asymmetric advantage. Heightmaxxing in shoes is the only heightmaxxing that doesn't ruin your spine. Asia has been doing this in plain sight for years and the chunky-sole, oversized-coat silhouette is designed to camouflage the boost. Most short guys leave free inches on the table because they're embarrassed to take them. Break the taboo.

Here's a real life example of a fashion makeover I did: Jason is the proof. 5'7", slim build, broken English, FOBBY haircut when he came in. We did a glow up at one of my bootcamps, picked the Suited Gentleman avatar with a Kdrama edge, and the next month he cold approached a 6-foot European woman. They dated three years.

Stylemaxxing earns you +1 SMV before you've opened your mouth. With the avatar, the haircut, and the system fully executed, that becomes +2 to +3 SMV in a single weekend. The article has a baseline SMV quiz so you can measure where you start before running the system.

You're not ugly, you're dressed like a normie (here's the 7-point fashion fix with before/after photos)

https://preview.redd.it/1s16rgt9uq0h1.jpg?width=1997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33badb314be1d010f68a980d09f953f4331ec957

TLDR before the doomers show up:

  1. This assumes you don't have great fashion sense already. If your style is working, skip this post.
  2. This isn't boyfriendcore (the trendy, safe style for guys who already have a girlfriend). Edgy fashion is what gets women who would normally walk past you to actually look at you. A few of my students have even had women approach them after running this system.
  3. You can't be invisible and attractive at the same time. Pick one.
  4. You can build a complete wardrobe for $600 if you skip designer labels.
  5. This isn't theorycrafting. Every student I've run through this has added +2 SMV points, with women becoming visibly more receptive to their approaches. Jason in the case study is a 5'7" guy with broken English who cold approached a 6-foot blonde in Kyiv, dated her three years, and married her.

One of the recurring questions on every dating sub is how to dress to actually attract women, rather than just look "presentable." So here's the long-form answer, aimed at getting you out of the high school hand-me-down or business-casual uniform and into a style that fits your personality while producing real results with women.

The starting point isn't the clothes. It's picking a sexual avatar. Suited Gentleman, Bad Boy, Jock, Street, Metrosexual, Softboi, Musician, and a few others. The avatar is the first decision you make because the clothes are downstream of the man you're projecting.

Most guys skip this step, grab whatever fits at the store, and end up in a polo and khakis that signal nothing. Pick the avatar first, then build the outfit to match.

Once the avatar is locked in, the 7-Point System scores the outfit you're assembling. Seven categories, each weighted by impact. The base (top, bottom, shoes) is worth 3 points just for being dressed.

Your statement piece (the leather jacket, the structured coat, the textured knit) is worth 2 points because it's the item that defines the avatar. Footwear earns 1 point on its own, with a heightmaxx bonus available for short guys who use the boots correctly.

Accessories, minor accessories, and a personal detail (fragrance, a signature ring, a pocket square) combine for another 1 to 2 points when they work together as a coherent finishing layer.

Color theory doesn't add points but breaks the whole system if you get it wrong, which is why the LMD rule (light, medium, dark) is non-negotiable.

Most guys score 3 or 4 without trying. They put on jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers and walk out. That's the floor. The system shows you how to get to 7+, which is the territory where women actually notice you.

For the short guys, footwear is where you have an asymmetric advantage. Heightmaxxing in shoes is the only heightmaxxing that doesn't ruin your spine. Asia has been doing this in plain sight for years and the chunky-sole, oversized-coat silhouette is designed to camouflage the boost. Most short guys leave free inches on the table because they're embarrassed to take them. Break the taboo.

Here's a real life example of a fashion makeover I did: Jason is the proof. 5'7", slim build, broken English, FOBBY haircut when he came in. We did a glow up at one of my bootcamps, picked the Suited Gentleman avatar with a Kdrama edge, and the next month he cold approached a 6-foot European woman. They dated three years. They're married now.

How to improve your fashion sense so women find you more attractive (before/after pics included)

TLDR before the doomers show up:

  1. Before/after pictures of style improvements are available, but this sub doesn't allow uploading of images.

I've been in this game since 2005. I watched it go from Mystery Method, to Style, to RSD, to red pill, to MGTOW, to looksmaxxing. Each generation got more disconnected from women and more obsessed with men ranking other men.

Now we have a community of guys comparing canthal tilts on PSL forums, hammering their own faces because they read about Wolf's Law in a Reddit comment, and not talking to women at all. Most of them haven't kissed one.

The pickup community at its best taught men to walk up to a woman and start a conversation. Looksmaxxing teaches men to optimize their face for the rating other men will give them.

The game forgot what it was for.

I just published a 4,000-word breakdown: where looksmaxxing came from, what they got right, what's getting young men hospitalized, and why softmaxxing combined with actual PUA fundamentals is the version that works.

If you came up in this community and you've been watching the new generation lose the plot, you'll recognize a lot of what I named.

Here's a normie's guide to Looksmaxxing if you want to catch up on what the hell is going on without getting too lost in the weeds down that rabbit hole:

P.S. This is also the launch of a 5-part series. Coming next: how to dress to attract women, the Asian male haircut guide, Korean skincare for men, and fitness for men. The full looksoptimization framework I've been teaching at bootcamps for 20 years, finally written down.

A common complaint I read on here are guys who say they don't know WHAT to say to women. So they default to one of two failure modes: job interview mode, or the "respectful and nice" approach that reads as timid and personality-free.

Think about what you're actually conveying when you ask: "What's your name? What do you do? What are your hobbies? Can I get your number? Can I take you on a date?"

Nothing. Zero personality. She might answer every question and still feel nothing for you.

You flirt by making statements and stating opinions, especially wrong ones. That's what shows personality. That's what sparks attraction. Don't think about what to say, just say what you think.

But if you're going fully autistic, blessed with the tism and you need something concrete to work with, here are lines I've personally used to great effect.

Start with playful reads. Make an assumption about her personality and state it without asking.

"Let me guess, you're the oldest sibling."

"You're the bad girl of the group." (Good girl. Trouble. It all works)

"Youngest? So you're the spoiled one. That changes everything."

No question mark. She reacts, you respond. She feels observed rather than evaluated.

Once there's warmth, shift to us framing. Treat the two of you as a unit against everyone else in the room.

"We're definitely the two most interesting people in this bar."

"We're the kind of people other people talk about after we leave."

"The reason people keep looking at us is because they're jealous. They want to be us."

Delivered with a straight face and a slight smirk. Shared conspiracy builds connection faster than any question.

Qualification and push-pull work at any stage because they give and take in the same breath.

"I hope you're as cool as you look."

"Now I have to figure out if that's a green flag or a red flag."

"I like your style... you're dangerous."

Quick single-line teases work as reactions to her energy anytime.

"You're trouble."

"You're feisty."

"You're a lot of dynamite in a tiny package."

Once attraction is genuinely there, move into couple energy. Not before.

"That's it. We're breaking up. You keep the cat, I'm taking the Netflix password."

"Could you imagine if we had kids? They'd be beautiful and intelligent... and I'm sure they'd get something from you too."

"Did you know mixed children are scientifically the most beautiful babies?"

Full breakdown of why each stage works and how to move between them: abcsofattraction.com/blog/how-to-flirt-with-a-girl

The guys who struggle with flirting are almost always skipping straight to couple energy before earning it. That's why it lands as weird instead of charming. Build the ladder in order.
