"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'll make it even simpler than you did...

Ever notice how your confidence inflates when you have more money in your bank account?

More money = More confidence
Because you have something to be confident in! Simple as that. I'd be even more confident if I had sex with Sports Illustrated models o n the regular, drove away in a Bentley, and had millions in the bank. But who here wouldn't?

It's all about results.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"hey that girl likes buff guys, try to be more muscular tonight and she'll be yours.
Haha. It's true I can't believe people are thinking otherwise.

A fat man can not love himself no matter how much he tries to make himself believe it. Deep inside he hates his state and wants to be healthier. This isn't truly happy with himself. If you can't be happy with yourself it will show as low confidence.

Same goes with being in a fight. You can't truly be certain you'll beat the next guy up until you actually know you have achieved success in the same situation in the past or that you have mastered skills to deal with the situation in hand ie boxing/mma.

You can only walk proudly on this earth once you have proved to yourself that you are capable. The more you win compared to the failures, the more certain you will be that you can deal with the next challenge, hence the confidence.

a True DJ, who has has true confidence. He enters a room knowing who he is, what he has to offer, knowing the nature of women and knowing how to interact in a fun, playful and enjoyable way that will gain him the results he desires. He knows that he knows and thus truly confident.
I am confident in who I am and what I have to offer. Whether or not any particular woman will appreciate those attributes however, is another question. Some do and some don't. I tend to attract a certain type of woman, and those women who like me, REALLY like me. But other women might have little or low interest. I do not tolerate low interest women. Why should I, when I can get high interest women instead?

In my life I've found the transference of confidence to be very useful when it comes to general confidence.

By taking baby steps in one area, I rack up small victories to the point that I excel at that area (small or large; it doesn't matter). I then make sure I draw upon those experiences when faced with something new or a potentially "rattling" circumstance. By drawing upon that bank of previous victories in other areas, I'm able to apply the confidence I previously gained to the new challenge.

That's why I have what I call my "Victory Log", a notebook where I briefly write down my life victories. When faced with a challenging situation I will occasionally browse through my Victory Log and am able to remind myself that I have a history of doing well and meeting and excelling at challenges. I think of this as transferring confidence from one area of life to another. It's a "savings account" from which I may freely draw from.

Another key aspect of confidence is what I call the absolute refusal to acknowledge current circumstances. It's a matter of training oneself to get into the habit (I repeat, HABIT) of immediately rejecting a current difficult situation and thinking instead of the future best outcome or state of being. Once you make this a habit you become capable of much more in life, and of course that includes dealing with women. You need to irrationally reject your current assessment of circumstances and immediately (like a light switch) think of the inevitable improvement you are going to effect in your life.

Confidence, success, and life itself is made up of tiny, tiny victories. When one trains himself to look at the micro (which is so granular that you can easily observe and MEASURE positive change) and reject the macro (no granularity and little possibility of improvement) you become a much more capable human being.
The big picture is a spirit-destroyer. The small, granular picture presents massive opportunity for positive change.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Speak for yourself... blingbling and diamonds don't make me feel good.

I see alot of people who do behave that way though.
Having enough resources to live your life and pay your bills and not need to borrow and have the things you need is a lot less stressful that the opposite, it does improve confidence.
