"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Great show, though usually unintentionally great. Download or otherwise get your hands on as many eps as you can. Watch them all.
 

"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.

I used to watch them, didn't found anything useful in that show
Its pretty much predictable and routine, Every chick tries to throw herself at the guy who is rich and millionaire, so that he can get his money. I see some of the chicks same time.
share your knowledge if you learned something from that show

S03E03 is an interesting one to see inside the terrified mind of cougars.

I don't know man, it's not like you're learning X, Y, and Z from this show that you can quantify and then list off, you're just seeing how humans relate to one another in a one-on-one mating context. How often do you get to see that?

If you didn't get anything from it, then best to avoid it it. I find them fascinating. Any experience you can have with women, even if it's just watching them interact with men in a dating context on a show, is good IMHO.

Its funny that Patti wants all her clients to be complete AFCs to get girls
 

"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.

Doesn't matter if your an AFC when your filthy rich.

Just don't be suprised when she leaves your sorry ass and takes 50% of what your worth

yeah it's totally an 'anti-game' program, which is the interesting part. But what's even more interesting is that people tend to choose the same types of matches over and over again.

The woman host is very intuitive about people. I wouldn't take her advice, of course, because I'm not looking to go chumpstyle and get some nag of a wife; but if you were, she'd probably be a good choice as matchmaker. I'm totally against her idea of "chivalry" and "no sex before monogamy," and I would never have her or anyone like her set me up, but it's still interesting to watch how these people interact, both in their selection-phases and then in the outcomes that those choices bring about.

Another thing I've noticed is that millionaires are complete self-centered narcissistic a-holes. Pretty much every single one of them, the men, the women, the gays, all of them.

It's also interesting to see the whole sugar-daddy / gold-digger relationship. I've never seen it quite like this show presents it.

Basically they both treat each other like sh!t. The millionaires (both men and women) are controlling, narcissistic a-holes. And the gold-diggers are kiss-asses but who demand money and gifts for their ass-kissing.

One scene showed a "mini-date" where the millionaire guy was being the typical a-hole and the chick was rolling her eyes at him. Both had nothing but negative things to say about the other to the camera. But then he chose her for the main date and she said yes.

It was hilarious. But even more hilarious was that they had a crappy date and didn't get along at all and he made awkward passes at her that she rebuffed with disdain. And then at the end of the show the text on the screen said they were still dating!

What a strange life. To keep someone around that you utterly despise but who has a quality (looks or money) that you want so much you have no other choice. Totally unlike my life and incredibly interesting to me.

Just watched a bit of it. I just can't watch this. The men and the whole situation just seems too pathetic for me.
 

"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.

I think guys your age should be tied down and forced to watch all 5 seasons so they learn how NOT to live their lives and how NOT to relate to women.

Seriously, if I had a male kid I'd force him to watch it. It's awesome in a train-wrecky sort of way.

America is filled with the dumbest people. Those shows are produced. Nothing about them is real. How old are you boys? I would bet my life that you are either teenagers or else work at Best Buy. You are the dregs of American society.

If you had millions you would know that finding broads was the least of your worries. Regardless of what country you are in or how ugly or old you are. Real millionaires downplay their wealth for tax reasons.

Millionaires having trouble meeting women? I call complete bullsh*t.

A millionaire can act AFC and STILL get girls, yes. But when she gets wet for that handsome male model, don't be surprised when she leaves with half to use with him!

@Topgun: Women don't know what the f**k they want. Women giving advice is often times totally wrong.

@The Crack: If you lined up 10 men in a line and told a hot blonde to pick out the millionaire, she wouldn't know. If I were a millionaire, I'd be conservative and get a Honda/ Toyota as a main car, and have a Benz as a show off car.

@Zarky: How many guys do you think railed that host?

@ Jroc: Totally agree.

AFAIC, if you're rich, you won't have trouble with women. If you do, you're retarded.

Case closed.

^^^ If you watch the show, you'll realize there are LOTS of retarded people out there.

Anyway, another thing I noticed is that when you take women out for dinner, shows, etc. etc. etc. and put a lot of work into it, you automatically tend to over-value the woman.

In fact, this seems to be a calculated thing. That is, the host (who is a woman) attempts to make men put a great deal of work into planning and paying for the first date. So all this effort expended on the date gets transferred to the woman and I believe it cannot help but raise her value in the man's eyes.

To me, traditional marriage is the ultimate over-valuation of the woman. If you're for some reason looking to go down that path, you should start out by spending a great deal of effort on the most minute date plans, and in the end even the fugliest, b!tchiest woman will eventually seem like a radiant beauty in your eyes.

What I learned was that effort expended on a thing can raise the value of a person who is associated with that thing, even if the person has very low value to begin with. Not exactly rocket science but I've never thought of it in that way before.

As Ben Franklin, I think it was, said, "If you want someone to like you, ask him to help you." This rings true again here.
 

"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.

So S04E11 is a hilarious episode with a grossly overweight broad who chooses this guy who's a semi-hunk. He has no interest in her at all but goes out with her to get at her money.

His body language toward her is priceless, because he's totally not into her. It would be wise for any guy to watch in slow motion his body language while he's with her. If you can use that body language when you're dealing with hot chicks... WOW you will be unstoppable.

I've watched the show plenty of times, and in my opinion, the host is an obnoxious, loud-mouthed, very average looking women who preaches textbook AFC principles: no sex before marraige, flowers, expensive dinners, etc. etc. This coming from a so-called "successful, 3rd generation matchmaker" that has NEVER even been married!
Yup. The big question is: why would any man sign up for that?

nice writeup, that's a good analysis. I will look for the whole mother-figure thing next time I watch, you may be on to something. In pretty much every one I've seen, the "millionaire" has rather severe psychological issues.

OMFG so I'm almost done with the series thank christ. I'm stunned at how many real losers there are out there. I guess if you have to go to a matchmaker in this day and age you kind of have no game anyway, but.. really? Every episode is like watching a train wreck. There have been maybe 4 guys on the show who had any game at all, and they all chose the hottest girl and then banged her on their first date despite the host's warnings not to do so. It's friggin hilarious.

If these people are at all representative of the average guy out there, then any guy who studies seduction for 15 minutes will have more game than 99% of everyone else. Amazing.

EDIT: Here's something else. I have never seen so many middle-class white people high-fiving each other in my life. I don't know if the producers tell them to or what. It looks f*cking ridiculous. White people suck at high fiving, we look like we're trying to swat at a fly. So white people: no high-fiving.
