"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.

Hi all,

I'm looking for resources, preferably video and audio that help to make small changes in my life.

Don't get me wrong, I have friends and I head out to a mates place every friday for pool and poker and sometimes head out on saturdays. But I have small fears such as:

1. I get too uncomfortable at the thought of crossing a room to greet someone new to a party (even worse when there are a few people that I don't know).

2. Approaching women - I suck at it, I just don't know to get into the flow of hte conversation. Once I get into a flow I'm fine. Like when I meet a new female who happens to be a friend of a friend in a social situation (bbq, house party, etc) I'm fine. I can make conversation and I can talk heaps, doesn't matter if she's a 5 or a 10.

3. When I don't get an immediate response from someone, I start to get minor negative thoughts. Like I asked a newish female friend what she was up to on a particular day as I was free and haven't heard back yet.

I can overcome quite a few of my insecurities but it takes effort and would like to work on removing them so I don't have to fight them.

Basically I want to be suave, comfortable in all situations, relaxed, more social and open, improve my charisma and magnetism. You get the drift.

I'm not interested in learning routines and techniques. I'm more about natural game. I also want to be able to open my body language more and come across more relaxed and confident.

I got a mate who can just go up to girls, start talking and he quite often succeeds yet he doesn't seem to do anything special. It's his attitude more than what he says/does. Although he does have some techniques he uses.
 

"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.

I answered your question on self-hypnosis products earlier (see that post).

You might also want to check out David D's Mastery DVDs (I think that's what they are called anyway, they are quite old now but should still be findable). He produces a crap load of new DVDs that I( suspect) provide less bang for the buck than the original DVDs. I would try to find a used set on ebay or something, I would not recommend investing a lot of cash into these, but they are worth watching if you A) You can obtain them inexpensively and B) You will take the time to try out some of the ideas. I found guest speakers Brent and (been a while but I think his name is) Greg useful.

Although somewhat cheesy, I have to admit Anthony Robbins is very good at getting people to take action. If you simply need the motivation to get off the couch, his (now very old) personal power series is quite good. Sometimes what we need is not more information, but the motivation to use what information we already have.

For the shyness issue, there is a good author named Edmund J. Bourne. He is very knowledgable regarding treatment of stress and anxiety (PhD from an accredited University and lots of experience) I can recommend his materials as they have proven useful to many people I've had the pleasure of working with.

Best Wishes!

TeloS, yeah I get your point. I'm not looking for a magic bullet but more an opportunity to diminish the fears and s*** that holds me back. Even if it's a temporary fix it gives me the opportunity to take action. And over time my mind will realise that the fears are unfounded.

There was a time in my life, when I had a certain fear and a situation arose that completely went against this fear and my mind, from that point on, could not prove the fear and eventually it went away over time.

Great suggestions everywomanshero. Will check them out.

Cheers
 

"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.

I would say The Blueprint Decoded by RSD. It's all inner game (developing a lifestyle).

Blueprint is like $600 HOWEVER if you visit the site below, it's only $300.
Really? Mine was absolutely free and fits on one two sided dvd-9? Hmmm, the fact that I ripped the audio and put it on my Zen probably saved me more than swithcing my car insurance to Geico too . . .

Good product but I know of better things to spend 600 bones on.
