"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.

Hi Guys,my son just turned 17 and I would like to buy him a book/s that will guide him/introduce him to the "real" dating world, women, relationship , alpha traits, developing skills to be successful with women, and in life in general, and to steer him away from developing the AFC mindset.
He is young and without any experience with the other sex, (from what I could see) and therefore the books is for a "Beginner" (No hard core at the moment, I dont want to scare him ,,,)
Thanks for your advice.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Ironically not a real book but the book of pook might be a good start for him.

Take him to the titty bar and then buy him a few hookers. He will learn that women are nothing special,can be easily replaced, and every one of them can be bought.

Keep him distracted as long as possible.....
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I'd get him "The Game" by Neil Strauss, just as an introduction to it. Unless he's heavily into theories and the mechanics of how things work, he's going to find a lot of the previously mentioned books dry. Get him really hungry for success with women before you give him the manuals. The Game will give him some of the very basics, but is full of success stories to go along with it.

The Book of Pook was a good suggestion as well.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.
