be great
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
The point I'm getting at is it takes time to get the dream life. by the time you do, you will have wrinkles. Why waste all that time not getting women, GET IN THERE NOW!Originally posted by Krassus
Great men don't stand by the bar alone, that much is for certain. Of course, it could be argued that great men don't stand by the bar, period. I think that's closer to the truth.
Althrough it does take a lot of time and hard work to make your dreams come true, the amount of time it takes is a lot smaller than most people think. Anyone reading this, no matter where they are in life, has the ability to become a millionaire in less than 10 years. And that's a very liberal estimate to account for people who are in a really, really bad situation right now. Those who are already in good standing could do it in 7 or maybe even 5. If you know what you're doing and fully dedicate yourself to doing it, it really isn't that hard. Of course, you'll fail many times before you succeed, but you're guaranteed to eventually succeed as long as you don't give up. That being said, you don't have to be rich to get great women. That's ridiculous. This article's message was that you should create some great dreams and dedicate yourself to making them come true. No one ever said about putting chicks on hold while doing it. Of course, you should give your business life priority over your social life, but nothing's stopping you from laying as many chicks as you want while you're working your way up towards greatness. The effects of greatness, all qualities that women find extremely attractive (good humor, ambition, determination, confidence, persistence, etc) become evident the moment you place yourself on the path to greatness. You don't have to achieve it to get the mental benefits. As long as you know that you're "on the way," you'll feel great about yourself and that shows. There's a way to balance everything, and no reason to ignore any part of your life in favor of any other.Originally posted by S0LID

Your pessimism is poison. Kindly keep it to yourself.Originally posted by S0LID
What gets me, is this type thread is repeated so many times! Write something original.
Your just saying you will have a better life if your rich, thats obvious.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Nicely put Krassus and to add to what you are saying ..it's a matter of Mindset . It's great to feel that you are following your dreams , goals and in the same time nailing the best women without any analysis , thinking , work ( what we do here ) ...your just flowing with life ...enjoying every moment but what i want to discuss here is the self-doubt or false thoughts that sometimes crowd your mind . Those thoughts that says " it's too long , you aren't even halfway to this road of greatness etc... , time is running faster , you should learn how to get the hotties and especially this girl .. this trial and error way isn't enough or too long etc... " Elaborate on this as i think that this is the biggest block towards this road of greatness , attitude .Originally posted by Krassus

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.
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.
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.
