women and rules
A woman’s rules are never absolute. Often they aren’t even guidelines. Once a man understands this, his entire way of interacting with women changes.

Ever have a girl tell you about some rule of hers?

Maybe she says she never has sex on the first date. Or perhaps a man needs to pay for meals with her to have any chance with her. Or she might tell you she never ever cheats on a boyfriend and will under no circumstances date one man until she’s broken up with the other.

If you’re new to dating, there’s a high chance you hear things like this from women and just accept it. “Okay, that’s her rule. I guess I can’t date this girl. Or I need to work within her rules.” You might give up on girls who offer you incompatible rules. Or you may slow way down on them because of this (“Guess I’d better take her on 20 dates first”).

But I’ll tell you a secret: once you’ve been around girls for a bit, you cease to pay much attention to women’s rules.

Then once you’ve been women for a while, you often start to get excited when women tell you their rules. A woman’s rules are an excellent chance to make her do the opposite of whatever it is she said she won’t do, and love every second of it.

Is this immoral though? Won’t it cause a crisis of self in the girl, if you make her bend or break her own rules? Shouldn’t you respect women’s rules?

No, and for one reason: women aren’t men. And what constitutes a ‘rule’ for her is very different from what constitutes a ‘rule’ for you.

Hey, in your eBook "How to make Girls chase" you mention it's best to pre open a girl before you approach so she feels she noticed you first.

Well it doesn't make any sense how you'd pre open her then ground your opener.

Like standing next to her, she looks at you, then you turn your head and say, "I saw you standing here..." It doesn't make sense to me. Since she feels you noticed her just now.

Grouding the opener makes sense to me if you saw her from far away then said it. But if you pre open by touching her or being close to her, it feels... forced.

Can you elaborate?

DL-

Very good question. If that's how I have it in the book, then I have it wrong, and my apologies for the confusion. I'll correct that when I do a second edition (whenever that is... been saying I'd do a second edition for years).

The way it SHOULD be is either pre-opener OR grounding. There are few situations I can think of in which you'd want to use both. You can make pre-open + grounding work with very confident delivery, but otherwise, yes, it risks feeling forced.

She knows you noticed her in advance if you're the one who touched her to pre-open. However, at an unconscious level, her looking at you first serves as the sort of official initiation of the open.

The one time offhand I can think of when pre-open plus grounding works well is if you pre-open, she turns to look at you, and you are looking below her eyes a bit, then raise your eyes to meet hers, and deliver the grounding (ideally, very s.l.o.w.l.y with lots of pauses). Leads to very polarized reactions typically (strong positive or strong negative).

Give her a gentle bump with your ellbow or tap her elbow or shoulder from the side, keep looking ahead but with your head slightly turned towards her and have a mischievous smile on your face. Then as soon as she looks at you, you completely turn towards her and deliver your grounded opener. It's playful and works well for me. She knows you saw her first and we are not trying to hide that, because it doesn't matter, all it's about is that second she has to check you out without you looking at her so she can judge your attractiveness. You can also do it without the mischievous smile and only smile as soon as she looks at you, in that case your attention is splitted between her and the street up ahead (so you don't run into anyone), but as soon as she looks at you, she has your full attention and you smile. Timing is important, the whole thing doesn't take longer than 2 seconds maybe until i look at her, you could drag it out in certain situations and play with that, but basically this is how i do side openers and they work nice.

Howdy Chase,

I see you mentioning around anecdotes about women and Greek Islands and stuff.

Well I am Greek, though from a place where not a lot of tourists go to (at least young ones, there's just families and old people where I am at).... so these things sound new to me, which is quite ironic.

Yet how do you recon I can take advantage of that fact?
Should I go on vacations to these places and just do regular pick up stuff we learn here?

Cheers

Arbeter-

Oh! Yes, you should definitely take advantage of that. You're right nearby.

Mykonos is the island you want. It's Greece's super party island. Wildest, craziest parties in Greece, with tons of tourists who travel there to party and hook up. Greek men typically go there to bang their way through female European tourists.

San Torini is also generally considered a Greek tourist island, but it's more the relaxation/couples/cultural destination. Mykonos is where I'd suggest you go to help European travel babes get a taste of the Aegean ;)

Ok so I got two nights of approaching and liked to know your thoughts.

I feel it would be better if I separated each day by post to make it easier to read and answer.

Friday night I went to a popular bar, very, very crowded, and full of white people and few minorities, mostly college kids.

So both girl's I talked to were white.

The first one I said what's up to and the second one said what's up to me. It basically ended after that because I'm rusty and I honestly didn't know what else we could say while at the bar.

1. I could have have asked how her night was, but then after that what? What more would I have to talk about to not make it platonic? I also don't want to talk and talk because that doesn't work. So what would be good to say after hi? Like what type of conversation and how do I not make it seem platonic and sexual and fast? Basically, I want to know what the hell to talk about if I want to fuck her not just talk, have the convo be short and quick and something easy to remember.

2. I think that spot isn't good for pick ups because it's overcrowded. How do you feel with how I described that place?

3. Think those girl's were just being nice or do you think there was attraction at all? That's another reason why I didn't continue the convo because I didn't want to look like a fool if they were just being nice.

Random questions:
1. I tell women I hustle when they ask what I do. Don't know if that's bad or not, what do u think?

Also, what do you mean by find something and say I do that? I'm referring to the part where I said I'd say I'm a writer and you said not to because I don't write and to find something and say I do that. I kinda don't know what that means could you give me an example of what you mean so I can work on it?

2. Should I lie about my age in college or should I not tell? What sounds better? How would I not answer it all together without sounding like I'm ashamed and old? I was thinking of saying I was two years younger than I am, but I don't know if that would matter, don't want them asking me to buy drinks for them either.

3. I was thinking about the car article you recently wrote. What if the girl you're tryna fuck has a better car than you and better job? I'm working on myself so that's what I'm up against, does that affect me much?

4. How do you think I can do with women as an older dude in college? I'm tryna pick up everywhere.

Thanks Chase

SZ-

I don't do situation or outing analysis in comments. Check out our Field Reports board:

http://www.girlschase.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=5

That said, glad to see you getting out there and chatting up a few girls. Hope to see you start ramping those numbers up a bit - I'm sure there were more than two cute girls at the places you went to ;)

No idea about the place. I can't tell you for sure if a place is good or not until I've been there four or five times. Sometimes you think a place is bad but after a few trips you discover it's a gold mine. Other times you think it'll be great but no matter how many times you go you have no luck there. Only way you will know is repeat visits that include chatting up people, and especially girls, and seeing how you do vs. how you do other places.

Re: what do you do, I assume you do something other than comment on GirlsChase.com. Whatever that is, tell girls you do that. "I hustle" is okay though. It's kinda vague, funny, ambiguous. Could be worth playing around with.

All your other questions, "it depends". Some girls don't want to date older guys. Some girls EXLUSIVELY want to date older guys and it'll win you lots of points. Some girls will care about your car/job, some girls won't. Experiment and see what happens.

Race stuff is just... stop watching. Approach. Stop trying to extrapolate from watching other guys. Other guys are not you. If all your lessons come from observation, and few from experience, your mental model will consist of, "Here's what it takes to get laid if you are someone who isn't me." If there are zero black guys there other than you... and you are barely approaching... of course you will see women going for zero other black guys. There are zero other black guys present. That'd be like if I went to a club full of black people, and I was the only white guy, and I was like, "SZ, I don't see women talking to any other white dudes. I don't know if I can get these girls man. What do you think I should do?"

Bad nights, you persevere. Keep approaching, and they turn into good nights. If eight girls rejected you, maybe it's a bad night up till then. But then you keep approaching, and girl #11 goes home with you and you shag her three times that night. The difference between the night being a terrible night and the night being an awesome night was what point you gave up at.

On bars I recommend and on going out alone (and also on tough nights):

Chase

SZ's picture

Saturday:

Went to this club with some friends.
I was kinda drunk, but not super sloppy drunk, I was chill, but you could tell I was.

Anyway, this night really drove me crazy. At first I was chillin and I approached a few girl's by grabbing their waist. They would turn around and look at me then say no, and I'm an attractive dude, so I was like damn.

I literally don't know what else I can do because I really feel like this is a racial thing, I've been noticing that all girl's seem to like light skin more than brown or dark, even dark skin black girls. They just act more receptive, they get so happy when a guy from another race likes them. I'm using examples from what I've seen.

I literally see it in front of my eye's, all girl's go to the light dudes. What am I supposed to do? I have light dudes with me and I'm the only dark one, and they don't really show me love and go for my lighter friends who don't even do anything, im being serious, they dknt do anything, no talking, no game, nothing. We dress the same, I have more muscles than them, so no question it's race or skin color. How the fuck do I beat this? This is a hump I'm going over and want to beat it. I don't know what more I can do?

2. It annoys me that my friend likes to bring a date to the club, I have to go find my own chick, should I stop going with him and go alone or just work my magic no matter what?

3. What can I do when I have bad nights like this? They are frequent and it's hard not to feel fuckin bad and worthless, especially when you're putting in work with your entire self. I say I have a lot more bad nights than good, I want to change that. How can I turn this around? What do I do after having many bad nights? It gets to me because this has been going on for years, including the light race thing. I have no idea what to do.

This is more than just pick up, I'm talking about going out here and there, not like everyday. I need this to stop, I've been working my was off for years and this shit is hard to beat, I'm in the south where they worship light skin and they also do that all over the world, so I need to solve this thing here before I move anywhere else.

4. Should I stop hanging with my friends because of this and go solo? Or do I just fight threw?

5. How do I make sure in safe when I go out to clubs and bars alone?

6. What kind of bars do you recommend and do you recommend to go out alone?

7. It's hard for me to go out alone, how do I do it? I keep stopping myself all the time.

Really, really didn't want to ask all these questions, but so much happened that night and I was in my feelings deeply, I felt terrible from that night. I want to succeed. I will fight and win!

"However, if I really like a girl, I will get excited when I hear about her rules, and just turn up the charm and do various things to get her into an immediate frame of mind"

Could you elaborate on, "turning up the charm" and the "various things you do" ?

Your article was funny because I was in somewhat a similar scenario like the guy going for the condoms. Thing is, I was just taking a girl's pants off then, she stopped me, and freaked out saying she was on her period, I didn't even get a chance to get a condom. I was sucking her tits, then when i went to take the pants off, she was screaming at me, like she snapped out of a trance, and put her top back on. What do you think her problem was? And how do you prevent that?

Could you elaborate on, "turning up the charm" and the "various things you do" ?

Oh, that's a good-but-hard question. How do you explain dialing up vibe...?

Offhand, if I think about dialed up interactions and what I'm doing differently, I can tell you I am:

  • Leaning in more

  • Smiling more impishly

  • Relying on a restricted awareness radius (totally focused on her)

  • Shifted down to bedroom voice

  • Sexual body language (chest puffing, deep breaths, wide stance / crotch exposure, etc.)

  • Conversation downshifted to bedroom conversation (aimed at discouraging logical conversation... e.g., she's saying something, and rather than engage her on it, you're just looking at her like you want to pounce on her and saying, "Oh reallllly....??" with a mischievous grin and a strong purr in your voice)

And mostly just holding that until she cracks. Though if it goes too long and she doesn't crack, you need to dial it back down again and focus on either getting compliance or deep diving a bit more typically. Then dial it back up once connection or investment are built.

What do you think her problem was? And how do you prevent that?

Women have walls at different places during the escalation. For a lot of women, it's, "He can take my shirt/bra off, but no further." Easiest way around this is to drop the 'standard guy' escalation ladder of kissing, to feeling her up, to playing with her breasts, to taking her shirt/bra off, to sucking on her breasts, to going for her pants, and just go kiss --> body rubbing --> pussy rubbing --> pants removal, and completely ignore her breasts. Without the breast trigger, last minute resistance is often a lot lower than it'd otherwise be.

What does it mean when you always want to do things your way because you believe other people are wrong and youre right? Idk why I always feel I have a better way to do things but most of the time I fail because I dont follow the advice. Is it narcissism? I dont think so, I think Im low self-esteem. Could it just be immaturity? Please help, I want to fix this!

Author
Chase Amante's picture

LSB-

Not narcissism or self-esteem so much as it is stubbornness / pig-headedness. It's not a bad trait, and can be immensely useful, once you overcome the "bad at taking advice" part of it.

The mindset you need to adopt is "I'm going to try out other people's advice, and I'm going to give it a fair shake." That will consist of a few stages for you:

  1. "This guy's giving me advice but I know it won't work." [realize what you're doing] "Sigh. Okay. I don't think it will work but I will try it anyway."

  2. "There, I tried it. And it totally sucked. I knew it!" [realize what you're doing] "Okay. I'm rushing to judgment. I know I need to try something at least 20 times before I get to make up my mind on it. Let me go do this some more."

Those are the two parts. The first part is refusing to let yourself dismiss things before ever trying them. The second part is refusing to let yourself dismiss things when you've only tried them once or twice and haven't given them a fair chance.

Ultimately you should aim to be stubborn about not allowing your stubbornness to get in your way. A la "Oh, that's me being stubborn again. Well, I stubbornly refuse to allow myself be stubborn about this stuff."

Once you learn the mental programs of "don't dismiss stuff I haven't tried" and "don't dismiss stuff before I've tried it enough to REALLY know if it works or not - i.e., not just once or twice in a half-assed way" you become more or less immune to the negative aspects of stubbornness, since you recognize when you're doing it and can circumvent this.

How do you spit game Chase? There's times where someone will say to me, go spit game to her, and I have no idea what to say to get her number or to sleep with her, my mind goes blank, I either say something lame or nothing. What can I say? How do I spit game and get a number and attraction on the spot like that? It seems like you more or less say smooth things to get her, but I have no idea what to say that fast or quick.

I'm more of the silent type and have read the new silent article, but it seems that it's easier to get laid by talking more, how can I start doing this to get laid more? It would be a complete 180 for me because I'm so quiet.

"Spit game" just means go do whatever you do that gets girls to give them your phone number.

i.e., the stuff we teach on this site.

If you're not good at approaching girls, striking up conversations, and asking them out, well... you're at the right place! A few things to give you some start points:

Hi Chase,

an interesting article. I have a few comments:

1) You wrote: “Regardless your feeling on the goodness or badness of thoughts, this little experiment should show you one thing about yourself: you already expect men to follow their big rules, and women to break theirs. Life – and the experiences you’ve had within it – has trained you to hold these expectations. If a man does not follow his big rules, you lose respect for him, and view him as having behaved in a way womanly way – that is, he behaved in a way you’d be a lot more likely to expect women to behave...Almost everyone, regardless of his politics, expects the man to hold to his professed personal rules, and loses respect for him if he fails to. Meanwhile, almost everyone, regardless of his politics, expects women to bend and break their personal rules; this is just what women do.”

Are you sure that “almost everyone” thinks this way? While I may respect less a man who changes too much, I do not think of him as womanly (and vice versa). I see as womanly men those who f.e. dress like women, are metrosexuals or are overly romantic. But in this case there are just people with different degree of following their rules.

2) You wrote ”The man’s job is to provide: genes, resources, beliefs, training, and safety.”

As far as I know, women provide genes as well, it is not specifically man’s job.

3) You wrote: “No woman competes to prove to you that she is the most reliable, dependable, respectable, consistent, steady woman you’ve ever met. It’s not what you pick for in a woman.”

In most cases it is right, but if you want a LTR, you look for some level of dependability as well (handling money, loyalty etc., see your article about screening for wife). And she wants to be seen as a good girlfriend material as well. Also for more rules-based men are dependable women more relatable.

4) You wrote: “The importance of immediacy vs. long-term considerations varies from woman to woman and situation to situation....There are women who stick more to rules than other women, just as there are some very changeable men. But you should not have illusions about women and think of them as men with breasts. It is in a woman’s interest to be changeable.”
In many ways women are similar to men in this respect. The dynamics between the immediate and long-term interest is similar (or same) for both sexes. The difference is that women have interest in being changeable, so they tend to take the rules less seriously.
5) The decision tree you described explains decision making about whether there is immediate interest or not, but not its relation to the rules/the long-term interest. It is in fact decision-making when there are no rules, because otherwise the model should include a variable related to the rules (now here there are only variables related to the immediate interest, like sexiness of the guy and easiness of having sex).

6) I am quite a rules-based man, so it is sometimes difficult to deal with fluidity and to understand people who are not rules based (how can they live like that…?). Depending what the rules are, they make it easy to avoid certain kind of problems, but also make it difficult to deal with certain situations. If the rules are maladaptive (f.e. some self-limiting beliefs can become rules), it is not easy to change them, because I feel like betraying my identity or losing my integrity when I try it. So mindset change is difficult, if you take the rules seriously. Since I do not change much, I tend to assume that other people are more or less like this and Iusually do not try to persist much or convince them about something. After all, if I once say no to something, the fact I did it as such is often one of the reasons to reject the same thing the next time, because I feel like losing my integrity if I change my position. Do you have some advice how to make adaptive changes in personal rules, mindsets etc., if you are more rules-based person, to avoid being overly rigid in some situation?

Thank you

Anonym-

Are you sure that “almost everyone” thinks this way? While I may respect less a man who changes too much, I do not think of him as womanly (and vice versa). I see as womanly men those who f.e. dress like women, are metrosexuals or are overly romantic. But in this case there are just people with different degree of following their rules.

At the instinctual respect/expectation level, I believe so, yes.

Say you have two man.

One is very romantic and dresses in a metrosexual way. But no matter what you challenge him on, he never wavers from what he tells you he believes in. He charges after what he wants. You may not like him, and you may even be afraid he's gay or into you. But there is a certain sense within you that this man is a man who gets what he pursues and means what he says.

Another man is muscular, wears lumberjack shirts, and has a big, manly beard. But he changes his mind on everything all the time. He says he wants to get drinks with you tonight, then tells you he doesn't feel like getting drinks and just wants to get pizza. He tells you he doesn't feel like going out this weekend, then calls you Friday night at 10 PM and says, "Dude, let's hit the bars!" He tells you he'll swing by and get brunch with you on Sunday but he never shows up. He tells you he doesn't like self-absorbed girls and then a month later he has the most self-absorbed chick you've ever met as his girlfriend. Despite all his outward appearance, you can't help a deep feeling inside you that this guy is just... kind of womanly, isn't he?

That's what I'm talking about here. This instinctual awareness that a man is behaving in a hard-driving masculine or a flip-floppy feminine way, beyond outer appearances.

2) You wrote ”The man’s job is to provide: genes, resources, beliefs, training, and safety.” As far as I know, women provide genes as well, it is not specifically man’s job.

Sure, of course.

As for men appreciating dependability in women, of course many often do. The point of my statement was that women are not competing to win you over with dependability as a dating KPI. It is a secondary or tertiary metric at best, and usually not evaluated until deeper into a relationship.

Decision trees are often going to be more complex than the one I used in the article, yes. If she's considering you for a long-term relationship, this is another layer of complexity to the tree (and it's why I advise guys to avoid the boyfriend role when/where possible).

On overcoming rule-based rigidity, yes, I can tell you're rules-based! Lots of rather nit-picky, detail-oriented points in this comment alone :) My top suggestion for overcoming rigidity is to actively force yourself to do things you do not want to do. Break your own rules. Do it often. Not just for big things; do it for little things.

If you have to eat at a certain time of day or sit in a certain place, eat 30 minutes later and sit somewhere else. If Thursday is chicken day and Friday is pizza day, try switching those two days up. If you delete a girl's phone number after she's ignored three of your texts in a row, try out a new rule of "I try calling her at least twice after she's ignored three of my texts in a row." If you wash your sheets every week, try not washing them for two weeks. If you feel grossed out because you've already banged one girl on those sheets and now you're bringing another girl over... see if she notices or cares. 99% of girls won't. And the more into you they are, the less they will notice or care.

The more used to breaking rules you get, the more able to you become. You're still able to use rules and follow them, but now they are support rails you can hop over if needed rather than jail bars you can't get around even if you'd like to.

Great article! Quite mind-blowing.
However it would be really cool if you or other authors could expand more in future articles on the ways of bringing a girl to an immediate/short term mindset.

Author
Chase Amante's picture

John-

Noted!

To a certain extent, all the material on this site is devoted to bringing women into the moment.

The more absorbed in the courtship she becomes, the more she focuses on it, and the more in-the-moment she is. e.g., if she becomes spell broken, that is her falling out of the moment you otherwise had her absorbed into.

However, there are some other techniques for upping immediacy we probably haven't covered on GC. I have this one down as an article topic now.

Hello Chase, this was a fine read. I like those peaces with general observations about human nature a lot. For example that men and women compete at different scales, or crazy women as short term optimizers.

Have you considered to make money by writing novels or scripts for movies? I believe many wealthy authors pretty much focus on what you do too. They get a feel for social concepts, then embed them into stories. Hollywood is all about that. They pick up common problems/desires and then showcase ways to deal with them that cater to a very inhomogenious audience.
It`s like playing on three chessboards simultaniously with the exact same moves and winning on all of them despite different opposing moves. This may sound impossible, but since it`s all staged, the art is to find games that can be made to work with as little "wow that`s unrealistic" as possible while mainting a lot of "wow that`s exciting" for people with very different world views. For example one challenge is to make the story great for the people who "get it" as well for those who don`t, be it lack of intelligence or emotional self defense, that stops them from "getting it".

Overall the key is to construct the stories in a way that obeys the percieved social rules of many very different people and gives everyone hope and a little food for thought.
It`s a bit like in Fables, where it is possible to introduce people to concepts in a very easily digestive and nonoffensive way.

I feel coming up with new, controversal yet true, perceptions of social stuff is what makes or breakes good books and movies. This is the core. You produce these core concepts at a spectacular rate. Maybe all you need is to put your allready existant writing skills into action and create fascinating stories, that leave people feeling they have touched on greater concepts.

Yours, trying to give value back.

Someguy-

Yes, I write novels. Wrote two last year (one in about 3 weeks), and I have another I've been chipping away at recently and doing a chapter a day, a few days a week on now. Basically when I want to do something creative that is not seduction-related, I'll do that.

My second novel last year was a social dynamics-ish story. Bunch of characters with various personalities and tensions mixed in together bouncing off each other. That one was an experiment to see what a novel of mine would look like if the drama was predominantly character-interaction driven and the majority of the novel was dialogue rather than description, and I think it turned out well. First novel had its unique characters but was predominantly an adventure / journey piece without as much tension.

Knowledge of social psychology definitely helps to write fully developed characters. A wide breadth of experience with various different people helps too - often characters are fusions of people you've met or known.

Anyway, at the moment, I do not have the bandwidth to publish fiction (though the reviews I've had from my readers have been phenomenal! I'm somewhat worried if the public reaction is as good as the reaction of my reviewers, I'd have a fiction career take off and would quit maintaining GC before I have all the pieces in place for it to run forever, though. Once I have all the pieces in place here - that'll hopefully be by early 2018 - I'll think about publishing some of my novels and devoting time to all the best seller marketing that entails).
