Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Bootcamp started May1st, Week #5

"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.

OceanWindRider,

I've joined StyleLife's challenge; www.stylelife.com. I see where my week 4/5 problems are. Am having difficulty with an interesting opener, DHV, all that. Can do mundane convo's in the daytime. But that does not establish me as dating material. This is my current problem to overcome.

What we going to do with this thread? Seems all of us are stuck in a similar problem as me. We wanna continue this boot camp, close it out and start something focused simply on getting good at opening, then generating enough interest for a # close, or do something else?

Ive been following this bootcamp since the beginning and am doing my own deaccelerated program (no timelimits, no set amounts)
Its slower but its working and doing the random approach rejection part now ([un?]fortunately i closed the # today)
So in other words, thanks to the instructors/assignment givers. Ill probably join the next one
 

"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.

Hey, guys, sorry for not posting for a while.

I was at Cliff's list Convention in Montreal.
It was an absolute blast!
It's only $400 if you register in advance and I highly recommend everyone goes next year.
The amount of value is incredible!
I got to meet almost all the top PUGs and get a feel who's about what...
It's awesome!
Then I took a seminar with Cortez (www.badboylifestyle.com) and all the guys there loved it!

so... as for bootcamp... I don't think it's interesting for me anymore..
I've got tons of material to go through from the seminar - mainly go through my notes.
And the most important - I have to really work on my inner game. To define who I am as a man, what do I want in life, what my values and wishes are. This is crucial for the game. Pretty much all PUGs on the convention were talking about this idea.

So this year's convention was not about the openers or techniques, but rather about being authentic, knowing who you really are and projecting it.

I'd probably do a review somewhere on the cliff's list when I have time.


Anyway, StyleLife challenge seems to be really interesting...
Is anybody doing it? How's the progress and the feel about it?
I am thinking of joining, though it's a bit late..
But it seems to be much better than I expected!

I'm into it. Too late to join, but you can go check out the materials there, and do the exercises for yourself. It's GREAT at getting me to confront fears in approaching, and how to construct an approach.. interesting, non-threatening, under her defense radar, etc. I'm almost caught up. Go to the website, and dig through the daily exercises.

I'm still doing the bootcamp but I'm also stuck at this phase. I have overcome most of my Approach Anxiety, but I can't seem to establish consistent attraction. I can chat, I can have great convos, but does it make the women go all hot and horny for me? Not yet!

I have had a few numbers and they all flake out. I haven't established enough attraction, although I have been getting heaps better at this. Need to work on my fashion as well.

And I've met one of my sticking points - fear of success - the closer I get to another relationship the more I think of my exes and the pain they put me through. Gay, I know, but it is something real that I have to overcome.
