"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 you need to find a nice Wiccan girl and settle down...:yes:

Just because you're spiritual, generous and kind, doesn't mean you have to be a whimpy milk-sop that everyone takes crap from everyone else. Women are drawn to confidence and power.

Martin Luther wrote 99 things wrong with the Catholic church and nailed it to the Pope's door. He had the balls to do this when the Inquisition (sp?) was still going on, risking torture and death for what he stood for.

(Then he married a nun and started his own religion! Gotta love it!)

You can still be strong, confident, bold and still be spiritual.
 

"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.

"Childish opinion"? Oh, the delicious irony! And you're suddenly demanding "evidence"? Your posts never have a dull moment. Allow me to explain my story; although I am sure you will merely dismiss it with your... sorry, "ur" usual flair and condescendence, it's fun.

Let's see, you started by lambasting Science and how it cannot be an alternative to Religion, demonstrating a very shallow understanding of what Science is or what the scientific method does. You then proceeded to first dismiss evolution as a Religion, then dismiss them by saying "science hasnt come up with anything more than speculations and theories", showing an incredibly deep ignorance about the nature of a scientific theory.

That's just plain ignorance, doused with hubris for good measure, but ignorance nonetheless. See those links? You can learn a bit about those concepts, or if you really want to, you could walk to the nearest library and ask for a book about the basic principles of science or consult any good encyclopedia. I'm sure the librarian will be happy to help you.

But that was just you getting started.

See, the really funny parts come afterwards. Despite your previous dismissal, you seem happy to take atomic theory at face value (whoops, you did know that the idea of matter being composed of atoms is "just" a scientific theory, didn't you?), and astronomical observations about the composition of the celestial bodies, to make a point about how we share the same matter. For good measure you butcher wave-particle duality and gravitational theory in there too, looks so good.

You then apparently claim that Michael Jackson was chosen by the gods or something, it's hard to tell since you seemed to be pretty high at that point, but I think you were dismissing sociology and psychology in one swift stroke. Nice work.

And you close up saying something about comparing the scale of the universe and ours (apparently some observations by scientists have suddenly become selectively reliable again), and how you are somehow enlightened because you realized one number is much bigger than the other.

Right before demanding humility.

So, in short, you have taken a whole bunch of concepts you obviously have little understanding of, made a pig's breakfast out of them by jamming them together without pesky logic or inconvenient reason getting in your way, and claimed victory, in a fabulous exercise of sophomoric mental masturbation. Bravo!

You were right about one thing, though. It was a waste of time. Entertaining, but ultimately pointless.

I think I have challenged your fragile ego about your undertanding of certain concepts, which quite frankly at this point; could care less about explaining to you. yea I threw a bunch of ideas out there for what was required since most people here are just kids anyway, and I'm not in the mood to further explain what they mean. Specially to someone like you.

so just drop it bro, you are making a fool out of yourself, but if it's filling your spirits and making you feel superior by throwing a bunch jargon in there to the point where you feel superior, then good for you, I guess people have a need to raise their self esteem nowadays by trying to contradict others opinions, and that's ok if it works for you.

some nerds out there just need to learn how to relax in life, and stop taking your frustrations out on other's opinions. By the way, if you need to learn how to deal with women, which I'm guessing you do by the closed mindedness, and bitterness all over your posts... just ask.

About as much as if you had claimed that blue is a smell and not a colour, and then spun some yarn about how the neurons in the nervous system are all connected to justify it. I.e., not really.

and I'm not in the mood to further explain what they mean. Specially to someone like you.
Of course you aren't.

closed mindedness, and bitterness
Oh look, you're wrong again! There's a surprise.
 

"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.

mmm I think it's been quite entertaining tooling you until I realized after learning a bit about you in your past writings that I'm dealing with a very specific type of personality here.

a closed minded, know it all, narcissist. Yep I've dealt with a bunch of them in my clinical practices. tough ones to work with I must say. I wouldnt say you should be labeled as one since I don't know your background to do a case conceptualization and diagnostic on you; but if you are then I'm sorry for you. Therefore, I rest my case and will let you go, since arguing with people like you is no fun really.

I should add that its really hard to help them too since they are so close minded. But there is always hope, that motivates me to keep studying about the human behavior. Today I learned a bit more thanks to you.

have a good day.

That's one way of putting it. "Behaving like a tool" would be a more accurate description of what you have been doing, though.

Wrong again. You're on a roll here!

I am perfectly aware there is a LOT I don't know. An awful lot. There is simply not enough time in a lifetime to even come close to knowing everything, and even in my field I am constantly reading and learning new things from fellow scientists, attending conferences, lectures, because its scope is too vast for any single person to know everything. I love learning. I love new ideas.

That's not the problem here. The problem is that you're misusing finite and clearly defined concepts. You dismiss science as conjecture because you don't understand what a scientific theory is. It's not just me "spouting jargon", it is a clearly defined concept you are misusing. You are attacking science without understanding what science actually is, or what it tries to achieve. You label people as "childish" and "ignorant" simply because they realize they get different things from science and faith. Some of us actually don't have a problem separating these concepts. Some of us have the mental fortitude to separate the natural word from spirituality.

Did I say some? I should have say "a lot". It's not like there's a lack of scientists with religious beliefs.

man has always tried to explain the origin of everything and themselves... some months ago, Man was trying to build a hydron collider in order to re-create a miniature scale version of the BIG BANG... the creation trying to understand the nature of the universe, the mind of GOD. amusing.

some people are so arrogant and think they are larger than life, they think they have their lifes granted till they get to be 100 years old, eventually everyone returns to where they came from, eventually we all become energy, eventually we die.

look at Michael Jackson, he was bigger than life...... where is he now? where did he get all the amazing talent he had, his reply was always...FROM UP THERE!... he knew. it was never him.

people need to become more humble and understand that we are tiny sparks in the universe,, our planet earth is a tiny speck on the universe, our galaxy is one of billions of billions of galaxies out there, and we are trying to understand where we can even see past across the street.

peace am out

Talent means nothing with out hard work. God didnt teach Mike how to moon walk while eating nachos and drinking beer in front of a TV, Mike taught him self through countless hours and hours of practice.

If you are getting your Ph.D, then you should also know, that people who are successful at sports, acting, singing, flying airplanes, etc.. is because from young age those people knew what they want to do for the rest of their lifes. Thus they did anything and everything to achieve their goal. God didnt do it for them, they did it on their own through hard work.

The only reason those people thank God, is because they were raised in a religious environment.

If you watch Oscar Nominees, you will notice, that most if not all people do not thank God, they thank people around them that made their dream come true through hard work.

Half the Hollywood industry contains Jews, but they dont go around bluntly and openly thanking their Jewish God for their achievements.


Did God give people a natural born talent to be DJ? No he didnt, and God never will do so.

Its clear to me that you are a strong person of faith, and thats great, more power to you, but here, on this forum, is not the place to argue about religion or spread the word. Majority of the things that are taught here and talked about, are against every religion.

You can flaunt your Ph.D all you want, but you only making your self look ignorant in the process. I know people with a Doctorate degree, but they dont even know how to use a hammer, let alone how to change a light bulb in the bathroom. Did God did not give them ability to know how to use a hammer? No he didnt.

Its a very simple logic and knowledge, and no piece of paper will give you either one.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to stay true to myself is to stop showing interest in women unless i get that from them first. In order to find girls that will appreciate me for who I am I will just follow up on interest and signals I get now that I am back to my normal self. This way I know i am only following up on girls that are interested for who I really am. I am no longer going to project interest to women before they do it to me, in order not to sell myself out to the game and to them.

Women are a block to a man's spiritual enlightenment. I refuse to sell my soul to get them.
I have another point of view. What if, when you are laying on your death bed, you suddenly realize that there is not and never was anything beyond this life. Then you also realize that you wasted your entire life on something that never existed in the first place and you really just wanted to fvck a bunch of hot chics, but were deluded into believing that there was something more for you after you die.

There never was a god of any type and a "soul" is just random chemical reactions and electrical signals in your brain.

dude you can still be a 'nice' person but also hold onto your value and morals as well. You shouldnt be a matar, you cant give until you are filled up yourself ;-)

I too am spiritual, you are viewing sex as a negative thing, it should be win win. you shouldnt be tricking the girl into bed, but in fact both indulging in your humanity and really enjoying the experience it together.

check out: www.puamethod.com

shameless plug, but there might be some stuff in the blog that might give you a mental shift. Life is life, so live it, honestly, with integrity and giving value.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Being a jerk only works because you are spiking emotions to the negative, spike them to the positive with humour and fun. If you want to attract HIGH SELF ESTEEM, positive girls then being a jerk wont work ;-) you will only attract low-self esteem girls that respond to that behaviour, massive headache.

Dont lose your value by being there little ***** and do everything for them, offering value comes from being REAL.

If you look at monks or zen you would realise that in fact they dont do NICE things for everyone all the time, because they are everyone. Reading up on Spiritual Enlightenment would teach you that..........

I'm sorry, but as a christian man i feel the need to explain a few things

we get our gifts from hard work and dedication, yes. but We thanks God for our existence, drive to work, and everything really. Mike thanked God because he knew that without God, he would be nothing. he may have practiced countless hours, but he had the humility to know that we would be nothing without God

We pray to God to ask for help, But God is not some genie. I think you make him out to be that way. He does not just let you pvssy foot around while he "grants your wishes", but helps YOU to make your life better. God gave us bodies, minds, and drive for a reason. It's in order to use them. YOU make the difference. YOU use the gift God gave you in order to succeed

God helps us all, but it's also up to us to do the work. God does not drag you around by the hand through life and make everything 100% perfect, but he is there by your side to lift you up when you are down.

A "God" is nothing more than a concept created by a government to make weak minded people fight and die in wars for them. If I am a political leader and I need a group of people to fight in a war for my political views, I create a religion and a "God" and declare everyone elses "God" wrong (except mine of course) and go to war with whatever country has the natural resources I want.

It has been this way since the concept of "God" was first uttered. For all of you who believe in religion, answer this question: Why is it that every religion believes with their heart that every other religion is wrong and only theirs is right? Who gets to go to heaven if everyone is wrong?

The short answer is: Whichever religion has the most weapons is the right religion because they will kill anyone who challenges them and declare their god the "true" god...for lack of a better conceptualization for the weak minded; religion is the cause of all wars. I don't like war, so I don't like religion.

Sorry man, but that's not how it works. We do not believe everyone is wrong except us, that is not even what Jesus taught. If you look into religions you will find truth in all of them. You treat others with respect, make love not war, be humble, do on to others as you'd have them do on to you etc. And for one, it is not about "Religion" it's about serving and believing. Having faith.

I don't like war, so I don't like religion.
There is no battle for the "right" religion. You can't put a whole faith under scrutiny because of the bad actions of a few members who take things waaaaay to far. All wars are not because of religion, it's because of superiority. It's because of human error and anger, not because of religion.
I am not weak minded, and religion is not a tool of control. it's a way of life. In that light it could be said that this board is brainwashing us to believe that fvcking a billion chicks is the only things worth living for

why does no one else question the way they do things?

Yes, you are. Name one war which did not, in any way involve a religious conviction of one people against another people. Religion is a tool for the advancement of an agenda, just like feminism is currently. I actually get very upset when I hear people use the word "faith" as their ultimate cop out for any challenge given to them. Don't feel bad though, everytime I prove a religious person/group wrong, they always fall back on "faith" as the excuse for absolutely everything in their belief system.

The interesting thing about religion is that it was first a tool used by governments to cause people to die and now, it is nothing more than a business which sells a product with no warranty: Eternal salvation. Don't you think its a tad bit convenient that religion offers something which nobody has seen and cannot be experienced until all of its customers die and lose the ability to warn other customers?

Here is the summary of faith: My religion believes that your religion is wrong. And, I have a book here to back it up which says that your religion is wrong and all of you who believe it are going to hell. And, I am going to base everything I say on faith. This means that I am automatically right and you are automatically wrong because my faith decided it for me. If you don't like it, thats fine because everyone who does not agree with me is going to hell anyways.


Faith works great unless one persons faith lowers the profitability of a religious institution, then that person's faith becomes relabeled as heresy by that institution and they get burned at the stake for reducing the total contribution amount. Then, when that person is dead, the contribution per person ratio rises again because the customers (oops, I meant believers) feel that their product has been elevated back to premium status and they are willing to pay for it again.

Religion uses fear as its instrument to extract money/resources from weak minded people.
 

"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.

Lol prove me wrong then brother. My weak mind should be easy pickings for you

your perception is obviously flawed if you think that religion is used to extract money and resources out of "weak minded" people. Church donations are given to help other in need, such as orphans and homeless people.

Our church has has helped so many poor in the area it's not even funny. Through what may i ask??? the money and generosity of it's members. the money "extracted" from our weak minds

We give food the poor in other countries.
We help homeless get jobs
We help the sick who have been forgotten

This is what the church stands for. THIS is faith and what Jesus taught. To show love for your fellow man

now in every faith, or in every thing for that matter, there are individuals who fvck it up for everyone else. Yes, there are people who use "religion" in order to justify any convoluted sense of Justice that they might have and force it on others. Yes, there are those who use religion as scamming tool. However, these people are NOT what the faith is all about. These people merely twist and turn the word of God into their own in order to push their agendas. These people are not true christians/ muslims/ watever. They are fakes. They push the "going to hell" or "be held in great glory" card in order to drive their own selfish gains.

It's just like the slvt who claims she's a virgin, but has had butt sex, face sex, and has given *******s to every man on the block... Plus a few girls. She then claims she's a wait til marriage girl and is good, but it's obvious that she is fake.

I say you should see real, true practitioners in a faith in action before you go an criticize it.

Maybe even pick up a Bible and see what Jesus taught and did.

I remember this thread well, I can't believe it's a year and a half old :eek:

My strong belief in being a positive and nice person and basically being a spiritual person had put off women from me. I don't go around busting people's balls, i will often do favors for people and I treat everyone as nice as possible. Instead of getting me good things in return it has done the opposite. .
Listen, being nice and being spiritual are positive things and they are very important. But when you interact with a girl, you don't talk to her with the idea of being nice. You want to mess with her, flirt with her, tease her, joke around with her a bit.

I tease girls almost constantly. Sometimes they will call me a jerk for this, but they do it with a smile on their face. See, I'm not really being a jerk, I'm actually being nice to them. Because I'm giving them the gift of fun, and laughter, and I'm giving them some attention, and making their day a little brighter. Know what I mean?

I have a girlfriend, but if you are looking for something with a girl then you throw in a little bit of flirting and sexuality, and more touch. And of course never act like you need them.

I have been called weak, girly, people sometimes think i'm gay, people think im a pushover etc
Fixing this is just a matter of making sure you come from a masculine frame. Remember you are a man, God made you a man. Act like one. Respect yourself. Lifting weights helps up your testosterone, and can improve your posture, and make it more natural to carry yourself like a man.

You've basically been doing mental masturbation all over the thread, so it was a very fitting comment. Perhaps it was too subtle for you, my apologies if that's the case.

The comment about "Lost" seems very apropos. Reading your posts through the thread is a rollercoaster, you dart all over the place, making little sense, burning caricatures of that which you dislike or not even try to understand (namely science, society, and anyone foolish enough to get within range of your salvo apparently). You, sir, are acting like a crazy castaway who has spent too much time at sea.

At some point you must have been riding on a cruiser, floating safely and full speed ahead towards a destination you didn't know much about, but excited you. Little by little you lost some of that excitement. Why, what's this, I am barely finding anything interesting here. Captain! Change course! You started zigzagging, looking for something else. And instead of what you expected, you found a submerged mine.

Boom! The boat – your reality – shattered at some point. But what did you do afterwards? You could have jumped into a life boat, try to see from outside what state the cruiser was in and what you had hit to understand it better. But no, you held on with desperate obstinacy to your sinking boat.

Fool, save yourself! Jump to the lifeboat!

Not a chance, you refused to do so, and continued lashing at the battered hull with all your might, driving it into one mine after another. At the end of it, you found yourself floating in the middle of the ocean, alone, surrounded by broken bits and pieces of flotsam and wreckage.

So what did you do? You clung to whatever you could grab, and made a raft with the pieces you could salvage, precariously tying them together with a bit of string here or a piece of rope there, with a meagre supply of possessions you managed to salvage from the sinking of your precious cruiser.

That's not the real problem, oh no. A drowning man that clings to something that floats is only natural.

The problem is that you have spent too much time alone in your raft, clinging to the broken bits with desperation. After all that, you've started to have delusions about what it is exactly you're cruising the sea on. You no longer see a raft, you see a grandiose transatlantic cruiser, the likes of which have never been seen. Only your boat can navigate this ocean, no, this universe safely. People are too ignorant to see this! The grandeur!

You bark at people who tell you that is nothing but a raft. You snarl in contempt when you see other boats passing. You are too deluded to step onto an island you pass by, or another boat you come across, to take a look at your flotation device from the outside and see it for what it is, and lack the industriousness necessary to improve it with the tools at your disposal from the inside.

When you come across a new piece of flotsam, an object that may prove useful, you look at it with disinterest, only seeing the small part above water and making hasty (and often erroneous, see: science, society, and anyone foolish enough to get within range of your salvo) conclusions, without really trying to understand what that floating object actually is, about its use and lack of utility for you, or anyone else for the matter. That is, anyone else with an ounce of the superior knowledge you are so sure to possess.

Quite frankly, do not be surprised if others give you unkind answers when you growl at them, or thump on your raft to demonstrate the solidity of its construction over that of their boats. But at the end of the day, the only thing you truly deserve is pity. Worse than ignorant, you are willfully ignorant. And that's just too much trouble to try and cure.

Depends how one defines nice.

If nice means being a pushover, then so this is not good. If nice means generally treating people well, then yes it's a virtue not a vice.

It probably is the girls you go after. They most likely don't value or respect kindness (obviously not everybody does).
