"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.

Any good books you can recommend?

I know this is mainly a site to guide men in dating women. Especially if I use the word "Alpha male"

However I want to become Alpha, not just to get women but to improve my life. Like, I want to influence and lead people, have loads of networks, connections, acquaintances, friends and whatnot.

All the while being Alpha and not buying into "be nice and smile to everyone" stuff.

Anyone?
 

"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.

"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.

The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Cuvvy
Sink or Swim by Duncan Goodhew
The Victory Unlimited Battle Plan by Victory Unlimited

http://victoryunlimitedshow.com/the-victory-unlimited-battle-plan

VU is one of our own, and he still posts on here frequently . That fella has a way of explaining the way men, women, and life works like nobody else. This book has kicked me in the ass and changed my whole worldview. It really was like a electronic "man up, military-style, makeover/boot camp."

But be warned - Its a BIG book. About 600 pages. It's a wealth of knowledge, but funny as hell sometimes though too.

Anything by Anthony Robbins.

Frogs in to Princes By Bandler and Gringer... anything by them really

Look for books about NLP
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Alastair Humphreys: Moods of Future Joys and Thunder and Sunshine. Stories from a man who cycles around the world. From the way he's writing, he probably is a total wimp. But then again he cycled through Africa and Siberia on his own.

It's fricking inspiring. I've done some cycle touring too and this guy writes perfectly how you're feeling on the road - of course 10x more extreme than what I did. It's a book full of REALNESS, no pretending, no philosophy, no fancy thoughts of being manly, it's the truth and nothing but. It feels so alive, and when you read it, it makes you feel alive.

He's a perfectly ordinary guy, no DJ, not suave, no nothing, but this nutcase cycled around the world. And when I've saved enough money I will do it too.

How come no one has mentioned Think and Grow Rich, and the 48 Laws of Power? Those two are like Successful Sh*t 101!
 

"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.
