"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.

I admit I still have major insecurities - I get annoyed when someone gets 108 likes on their FB post and I only get 7. I know this is irrational but I keep doing it.

In reality I have many reasons to be proud of myself but I let little things get to me. I don't use my race as an excuse that much anymore, but it still stops me from approaching at times because I feel that a girl won't like me for my looks.

Wanted to discuss ways to get over insecurities and anxieties. Most of the time, they are made up, and prevent us from reaching our goals.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Man, I feel you!

For the bolded section I want to say actually youre saving yourself from alot of trouble. If you feel in that way just next. Find someone to be cold approached that you are sure you and she is comfy with you. Dont be in a hesitation mode like you have to approach every hb7 material you see. You ll know when you see...

I am trying to do cold approaches since 4 days but so far "0". I had some insecure issues with myself also. I got rid of most of them but there are also some like i need to improve my body, my job etc...

I think women have much worse insecurity issues than men. Try to keep that in mind the next time the next time you talk to one. Even if she is a total b!tch to you, she's probably acting that way due to her own insecurity issues, not because of your value as a person.

Everyone has insecurities. If you want to master your own, learn to spot other people's similar issues. Bolster their confidence when you see they need it. That's a good way to treat anybody, but it works especially well with women. Ease her insecurities, and it will make her comfortable with you.

Good points.

But;

I believe there is a very fine line between bolstering their insecurities and filling up their egos. So you need to be extra careful when you achieve about that...

I get in secure, I am more attractive then my friends, but I take bad pictures and I am a dud on Tinder and POF, but in real life I get women pretty easily. And I am not in tip top shape yet, I am a bit stocky/chunky. I met one chick off pof and she almost didn't recognize me, said I looked even finer in person. I notice white people blondes picture the best for some reason. It makes me insecure, but real life is where it counts
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
