"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 I've already read The Game...twice, and I'm looking for a new book. I would love something that has a little more self-help/tips than The Game has(if I remember it is mostly stories), but the stories are also helpful/great in their own way.

I'd love for it to be something focusing on woman and/or attraction, but I am open to read life improvement books as well.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Rich dad poor dad was one of my first, 4 years a ago. A very nice introduction to a winners and losers mindset.

And Jed McKenna's trilogy about Spiritual Enlightenment > Anything from Eckhart Tolle IMO.

Moral Animal by Jared Wright is absolutely beastly.

Sperm Wars too.
 

"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.

How To Win Friends and Influence People- Dale Carnegie

The 48 Laws of Power & The Art of Seduction- Robert Greene

The Secret- Rhonda Byrne

You could read The Game's follow-up Rules of the Game. It has missions that make you come out of your shell. Look into those books. You might get referenced to others.

Game wise, next level, I would get Real World Seduction by Swinggcat. Still one of the best, IMO.

Elkhart Tolle is worth checking out, as mentioned above. The book, I find, is better approache as a meditative form of reading. It is a good way to uncluttered your mind.

The Principles is also a really good book. Here it is.
http://manhood101.com/ebook.html

I would also recommend Jeffy Alan's book 8 ball, Around the world in 80 babes and Hypnoticas book, Meta*****. These books will give you a more personal look into these men's alternative lifestyles while opening your perceptions if what's possible.

Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins was an highly influational book for myself.

But what is important is to taste from many different sources so you find what is best for you. There are so many great books out there, but a good place to start is what most matches your priorities and current interests.

The Art Of Mackin by Tariq "King Flex" Nasheed
 

"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.

Anyone else think that 'The Game' = 'The Lame'?

I read a few chapters once and it just didn't really impress me that much. Neil's videos also seem kind of gimmicky.

Agreed.

Models by Mark Manson is also a really good book on game, coming from a distinguished POV.

I'm reading Pimpology: 48 laws of pimpin by Pimpin Ken at the moment. You can download it via torrent.

I also consider all these books better than The Game, though The Game was an eye-opener, it totally lead me to analysis paralysis. It's still an AFC thing, the whole "The Game" strategy imo. It's too reactive. It's about CREATING attraction where there was originally none, which is something I don't try anymore. It's like supplicating in an indirect way.
