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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Firstly, The Game by Neil Strauss isn't a PUA book; it is his own story from total AFC to mPUA.nsxjg80 said:On how to meet women and what to say and things like that? I was thinking about Neil Strauss' The Game but I heard it's primary focus is his personal story.
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.
90%? Didn't The Game just come out a few years ago?r0cky said:Its true that The Game is Style's own story BUT you will learn a lot. 90% of PUAs out there started by reading his book. It is a powerfull read, it gives you good field examples, and informs you in-depth on everything you need to know about the community. I personally recommed this book to eveybody that wants to know what it takes to be a PUA.
Oh yeah, and even tho its a little outdated, The Mystery Method is also a good book.
Yes your statement is correct, the guy you quoted is uneducated about how long the PUA community has thrived for. However, many DJ's in recent times started by reading either that book, or David Deangelo's e-books.Master Bates said:90%? Didn't The Game just come out a few years ago?
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.
Uneducated? I've read most of the masf archives of the top PUAs out there. I'm far from uneducated. Actually, as a reader of The Game, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be unaware of the beginnings of the community, since it explicitly describes how the comunity started and all the PUAs that already existed before Style's appearance. I'm merely saying that about 10% of PUAs existing today didn't use The Game to get started in the community. Why. Because they were already involved in itAxcell said:Yes your statement is correct, the guy you quoted is uneducated about how long the PUA community has thrived for.

I'd start off by reading those two first, than go out and use the skills you learned. You could read 100's of books and have so much knowledge, but if you can't apply it, you aren't a DJ. Simple as that.

I guarantee 90% of PUA's out there did NOT start by reading 'The Game'. I'm not debating whether you've read most of the masf archives of the top PUAs out there.. I was just stating that a statement you made was incorrect since a member (Master Bates) was clarifying about it.r0cky said:90% of PUAs out there started by reading his book.
