"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.

Vin Diesel is FAR from charismatic.

My vote has to go to Steve Jobs...there's a reason they call him the rockstar of the computer world. Other than Hitler and Castro, he's the only person who can command 100% attention for hours on end...everything he does, the crowd eats up.
 

"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Ahh the old charisma thread, what is it and who's got it.

Just wondered. Who is charismatic, yet is plain looking, even uglyish, and what is it about them that gives them charisma?

I was thinking of somebody like Ghandi.

Mother Teresa? Not sure, but she always had a tea towel when you needed one.

It's just that, my bee in my bonnet is you get some right arseholes that are supposedly charismatic, but they are always good looking.

People talk about how you become charismatic, forget it if you are the elephant man.
 

"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.

Reading about guys who are charismatic won't teach you how to be charisma It will simply teach you ABOUT guys who are charismatic.

Movie charisma is fun, but won't work too well in real life, because the people around you aren't programmed to respond with memorized lines.

Most all of your behavior you learn from other people. Your best bet would be to befriend charismatic people and spend a lot of time around them.

Don't outright copy them, but just mirror some of their attitude towards people. Especially strangers. It'll definately do more for you than reading a bio of communists.

The Miles Davis Story

If you want to learn something about charisma, watch
"the miles davis story". You do NOT have to understand / like his music to enjoy this documentary.

There is also some interviews with miles and some of his ladies where you can see how this DJ acts and how this is percieved/described and how their reaction is "justified" by the girls.

Awful artist, awful MAN, awful DVD !!

MoveYourA$$... and your brain will follow

John F. Kennedy Jr.

Bill Clinton, on of the coolest things he did was bite his bottom lip.
Chicks love that.
 

"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 forgot about Richard Dawson from the old episodes of Family Feud. You can watch it on the Game Show Network.

The way he approaches each female contestant and introduces himself personally is a case study in true DJism.

Watch his movements, C+F, handholding, eye contact, overall charm and guess what, he kisses each one of them.

Awesome!

who cares
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Abraham Lincoln
John D. Rockerfeller
Lloyd George
Andrew Carnegie

And many more that i cant recall right now. I know you cant watch clips on these individuals, but read biographies about them, and most of them got to the top not because their technical abilities but by their people skills, charisma included.

Definitely Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is what discipline, positive thinking and sheer willpower is all about.

Also Bob Marley, Hitler, Clinton....

"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.
