"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.

some champ on this forum pointed out to me that that's what i was previously doing
but my hyper-AFC friend is starting to piss me off now
he has NO female friends
yet he imagines he can get the one girlfriend, and keep all his nerdy guy friends
but i've seen him, he's too shy ( ? ) to even look a girl in the eyes when he's talking to them

lately he's been pestering me saying "at this rate i can never get a girlfriend" (which is pretty damn obvious IMO) "so why not quit"

now...how should i proveed?
a couple of guys said to continue on my journey to becoming a DJ and he'll then see how successful i'm being and then follow

can someone elaborate and or suggest other ideas?
 

"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.

Yes you should continue on your path to becoming a true DJ, its your life after all, what he does really isn't that important to you. You can set a good example, showing him all the chicks you score with, then see if he's willing to make the change and attempt to become a DJ himself.

Lead by example.

EVERYONE and their mother has the perfect system for making women fall in love with them. Only the ones that WORK will actually get any attention.

Meaning: Telling your friend about some seduction forum/cult you happened to fall upon on the Internet, especially one that challenges a lot of the BASIC assumptions of society, things his mom and dad taught him, is not something he's going to just pick up and run with. Only when he sees examples of it working in real life (for me it was comparing some of my "natural" friends to the things discussed in here, for him it could be seeing you mack women) is he going to give it any real thought.

"Cold shoulder" is a chick-tactic. If you feel he's going to compromise your goals in a certain situation, just don't invite him along. Doesn't mean you have to stop being friends completely.

Some people just AREN'T very used to change. Hell, I'm (or at least used to be) one of them...sometimes everything in life falls into a place that you wouldn't mind it being in forever. But things change and so do people.

Don't be so quick to judge other people by their willingness to accept your philosophy...especially when you have a ways to go with it yourself. ;)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I know what you mean. I have a friend who has never had a girlfriend. He's good looking, very intelligent, well dressed and very smooth. He could be a great DJ, but he doesn't understand the "game" at all. When I give him advice, he shrugs it off and says "that won't work". Despite the fact that nothing else he has done has worked either and he keeps getting walked over.

But I had friends giving me the same advice a few years ago and I didn't take it either. I think you need some kind of jolt to make you take action for yourself.

very insightful squirrels
and dirtheart, ur like an echo ;) that's exactly what i'm talking about
he's always copmlaining to me how he can never get a girlfriend
but when i explin the apparently alien concept of a female friend, he goes on ranting about how stupid it is
u only need guys as friends and such

i know i used to have similar stupid ingrained philsophies, but i came to realise that i needed to change (i can't remember the stimuli)

so how can i go about showing him he needs to change if he wants a girlfriend?i've seen him, he can't even looka girl inthe eyes when talking, and even then hes figeting around smacking his hands together and rubbing em together and stuff
secondly, he can barelu hold a conversation outside of a video game.
i really want to show him the possibilties out there, but he just seems to be stuck in teh fantasy that the right girl is gonna fall into his lap without his work

Like getting shot down by the HB0(with nice ass tho), then a week later having HB9.5 hitting on you and not catching on untill it's too late.

Gaah! That was horrible...

I've known about this site for more than a year, but I didn't take things seriously. My wake-up call was early this year after realizing that I couldn't communicate with women. As a result I missed a great banging opportunity. Major change comes from within.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You can't change a person unless they're willing to be changed. I think your best bet is to work on improving yourself for now. If he sees your confidence and ability with the ladies, he'll either start taking your advice or he's just plain retarded.
