"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.

Anyone read the book?

A chick once told me that every guy should read it because that's how all women want to be treated in the sack, and Christian Grey was her dream man, and blah, blah, blah (stopped listening).

Anyway, I'm looking for a new book to read and thought this could be it (research).

I understand the main principles of the book, basically how a woman wants to be dominated. I figured there might already be a thread on this, since the book came out a while ago and it was such a big hit for the ladies, but I couldn't find any.

Any thoughts.....
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

always bear in mind, a woman giving a man advice about relationships, the advice is usually worthless

I agree.
 

"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.

How patient are you?

Chick lit is always poorly written diarrhea, it's just the way it is and always will be, It's not meant to be read by men. Different wiring and all that. If your not prepubescent ,full of estrogen or a moron your not going to get past the first 10 pages anyway without the urge to gouge your eyes out so it's kind of a moot point.

Read some of the great books for men instead.:up:

This is what I was thinking and why I haven't read it yet.

But I'm still thinking it might be a good thing to read, just to know what it's all about....educational purposes ;)
