"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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
 

"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.

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.
