"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.

They do it for an emotional response. Don't allow it. Mirror.
Yes they do.

All of the ( male) behaviors we deem as "mental" are turning them on. Frustration, anger ect. Even stalking.

That's one of the bad boy's secrets: to push beyond the mask of what society tells us what is normal.

You just gotta be willing and able to actually take on that role and put in the effort. But yeah, women definitely love dark traits.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Getting decent women is a whole other ballgame.
Another means of vetting, in addition to what we discussed earlier, on a separate thread




Play the following video

And read this quote
"Oh yeah, I think about kids all the time. I feel like the next person I commit to, that's going to be the guy who I'm going to have kids with. That's in my crazy female brain. So that's why I'm like, I can't commit.' "

To any woman you're thinking of bringing into your bed and your life more generally. If she giggles appreciatively, then says "It's true", she's likely worthwhile. If she gets offend, then starts reciting passages from an Intersectionalist textbook, walk away without hesitation or remorse

Investments? More like amortizable assets :D
Or risky assets with fraudulent info that would quickly get a visit from the SEC should it be traded on Wall Street.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Brings us back around to 0:00-0:51

-Most guys approach women and life more generally as if they're throwing darts at a board whilst piss drunk, instead of bringing gals into their lives ONLY after having vetted them fairly rigorously. Ventures are, by and large, already halfway to success or failure, BEFORE they've even been launched

-The majority of men on this planet ain't living consciously, and are thus lambs, rather than lions. And lambs get slaughtered

-Try like hell to not go overboard on emotional attachment, to either women, or anything else. Some ventures turn out profitable, some turn out so-so, and others end up being little more than a stupendous cluster-f-ck. We continue to persevere anyway, despite life's many flaws

they only love their children unconditionally
The only unconditional love that exists is that between a parent and their child (if the parent is normal).

Even the love children give you as a parent is conditional. Thems the facts.

Have personal beliefs and standards and the rest will fall in place. Doesn’t happen overnight. Practice makes perfect.
The older I get the more the quote "You can't control other people around you but you can control how you react" quote becomes more and more true, for men who are naturally stoic take it as a blessing, for those of us who are high-strung or emotional it's a humbling journey.
 

"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.

Not many people are born with sang-froid, but you can learn emotional self control and become a stoic
And most folks who haven't read the seminal texts of either Stoucism or it's heir Cognitive Behavioral Therapy fail to realize that NEITHER proposes a life fre of emotions: The goal is not going through life at the mercy of our fee-fees

She’s cold because of the way that she met you and continued to develop rapport with you. In other words, deep down something in her evolutionary mind doesn’t feel that you crossed the masculinity provider watermark. Taking a look at the history of the interactions of her and others that went like this, and then comparing it to writings which as The Book of Pook and Anti-Dump’s machine should help.

I have been thinking about this, and I realize how many men don't have boundaries or standards especially when it comes to dealing with women's poor behavior for example Jim (most of us have been him) meets Sarah sets up a date she flakes offers no counter offer, Jim than reaches out a few days later to ask her out again Sarah makes up some lame excuse. Jim then reaches out a week later to no response

Heck, I have been Jim many times(was him a week ago lol except it was the 2nd date), my point with this story is very simple to many men will bend over backwards to chase a woman who is hardly interested. To me flaking for example is bad behavior unless a woman makes a strong counter offer I don't bother asking them out again sometimes I do just to see if they may bite but in my experince it seldom works.

You noticed how women are quick to cut a man off if a man does something she doesn't like whether he knows it or not. If more men had this mentality of walking away from poor behavior or crappy women it would change the dynamic

-No dates if she flakes or ghosts with no counteroffer
-No reaching out to a woman who ghosts you a "month" later in hopes of getting some
-Not contacting a woman once the relationship ends
-Nor trying to reach out a woman when she blocks your number through other means i.e. social media or a different number
etc

I tell women my boundaries and standards on the first date, or even before. Why? because that's what women usually do with me I recently cut a woman off because of our lack of communication. Cute blonde, but One my standards is hey we may not see each other every day which is life however let's make sure to communicate consistently. I've learned that women who have high interest in you can't go a day without talking to you, it actually upsets them because they want to talk to you or hang out with you!

Needless to say her communication via text was sporadic and all over the place. I warned her she continued, I deleted her number and replaced her with another plate. You have to have your own standards and boundaries some may think overkill however for me, I only want to deal with women who cooperates, complies and is submissive

Whatever works for you, as long as you are being true to yourself.

A cute married coworker of mine's hit me up and we started meeting outside of work and texting a bit; she's in her late twenties with a husband significantly older then her (one of those boring types I would assume), and now it would seem she's interested in me as I have an interesting life. Getting my physique in order and hitting my stride is a major factor in this. I'm not actively pursuing her as she's married, but it shows that being married also means squat these days. If she's interested, she will reach out and try to hang out.

Why is she interested in you? Novelty.
After she will be bored by you too, she will move on to the next one she will find desire for.

This is why for me it's still hard to believe that I have to put my life into raising my SMV, when I will only attract women like this. I want to attract people by the genuine fact that I make them feel good, and not for my SMV.

What if it's your SMV that makes them feel good?
How would you feel if that were true?
Would you consider that a better relationship than another one where you can really feel there is another "attachment" reason to you?
And taking this into consideration, what are the most "natural" reasons a person should be with you and feel good about it?

Anytime you do something for others that you wouldn't do for yourself, you're straying from your own path.
Sure, this is also saying always keep "your compass" direction where you want to be.
 

"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.
