"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.

So Far the Rational Male was the only one I read that actually just got to the point, I tried to read The Game but it was too boring and he rambled on about useless things for way too long. It seems like most other "game" books are the same way.

I also tried "How To Win Friends Anf Influence People" but it suffers from the same problem that The Game has, he starts off by talking about a bank robbery and dualing.

Is there any Good pickup books that get straight to the point like Rational male? I would say Rooshv but he took away most of his books.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

just ignore the word 'marriage' and consider reading this one. Some good advice on game/reading women, gaming relationships.

Game by Roosh V. It's been de-listed so you'll have to pirate it or get a physical copy. But it's an amazing, no bullshyt book.

"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.

Yeah, I know for a fact that @SW15 has read this, and I believe @lamath has read Game by Roosh V as well.

Excellent book.
I read "Bang", "Day Bang", and "Game" by Roosh. "Bang" and "Day Bang" came out in 2007 and 2011 respectively, and I read them in 2013. "Game" was not released in 2018. I found "Bang" and "Day Bang" more useful than "Game". The problem was that when I read "Game" in 2018, I was mostly familiar with Roosh's work and the Manosphere at large.

For someone completely new to pick up, "Game" would be a great resource. Probably better than "Bang" and "Day Bang".

Look up "Atomic Attraction" by Christopher Canwell on Amazon. This guy gets it.

Here's his YouTube channel. I think he has a better perspective on our subject matter than anybody else out there.

Agree on Roosh. He is the only writer who gets to the point. Most self-help books suffer from pages upon pages of boring anecdotes to pad their length. I've been looking over the Art of Seduction by Robert Greene just for fun, but I skip past the tales of ribaldry from 18th Century Austria or the Ming dynasty or whatever. Which is 85% of the book.
That was the exaxt problem i had with "how to win friends and influence them". I don't care about some bank robbery or abraham Lincoln dualing with someone.

"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.
