"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How did this lie ever begin?

When a women says....I want a guy who is nice, confident and funny.....what she is really saying is.... I HOPE the guy I "LIKE" is nice, confident and funny.

Your next question probably is....how can I be the guy that women "LIKE"? My answer to that is ....who the hell knows...LOL.

Think about it this way.....What if some movie star or rock star absolutely hated himself. He was VERY shy around women. In fact....what if he never even WASHED. Women would still like him regardless of weather he was bold or timid....confident or shy.

Lets stop all the LIES guys.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Confidence along with the way you carry yourself are the most important things in sexually attracting women.

You are taking celebs as an example. You could weigh 500pds and still the hottest women would fvck you if you have $$$ and social status. Hot women don´t date shy guys. They want leaders aka alpha males that have confidence. Women don´t chase you for no reason. The perfect pua has IMO(in no specific order)

- looks
- confidence
- social value
- good conversation skills
- a sense of humor

If you mastered all of the above you can fvck the hottest babes...

Hes right tho, u can be as confident as u want, if she doesnt find u attractive it dont matter. Now if she does find u attractive then yes it does matter.
 

"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.

Confidence is one of many attractive traits. A very important one at that.

And I guarantee you a lack of confidence is one of the biggest trun offs for women.

So, confidence doesn't absolutely mean you will get a lay but lacking confidence pretty much DOES mean you WON'T get a lay.

What about all those loser emo-guys who talk about killing themselves and still get really hot chicks? How the heck do they do it?

First of all, they attract young girls, not women. Second of all, just because they're emo doens't mean they lack confidence. In fact, it groups them in an easily identifiable category that provides an instant image. Just like punks, goths, skaters and all of your other little cliche cliques that young people use to fake a life or an image or use because they can't assimilate into "normal" society.

Some girls buy into an image or go for the image they themselves assume.
However, these girls are usually young and F'ed up themselves. IOW, they may be hot but they are typically not quality. Of course, if that's your bag then I'm not going to judge. More power to you. (and by "you" I don't mean you. It's not directed to anybody.)
 

"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.

I knew I would get some nasty responses.....hahahahahah.
Example: A guy who CONSTANTLY sarges and hits on women everywhere he goes. He hits on 50 women in a day and gets to lay 5 of them. While the timid guy takes to 1 girl every six months and gets rejected. You might say ....ah.....women like this guy because he is bold. But thats not it.....Boldness just allows a man to "play the numbers game". Bold(confident) guys get women....BUT.....it is not....the boldness that is atracting them. He is just giving himself a better "chance" then the timid guy who rarely talks to girls. Boldness gets you girls tha ALREADY LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha the problem here is that doesn't get laid and has no confidence in himself therefore he is trying to fvck up everyone elses chances. go get some buddy, but BE CONFIDENT.

Anyway think about who wants a friend who is just a loser and not confident...i wouldnt want to hang with that dude...so why would a woman want an unconfident man...confidence points toward maturity and women love intelligent mature CONFIDENT men.

Do you know how many guys out there are painfully insecure? They are getting LAID as well. Sheesh.....everyone is little insecure about somethin....sheesh...nobody is perfect. So all of these insecure guys don't get laid? So if you are insecure you can never date a hot women? OFCOURSE NOT
 

"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.

Ok, if we could all just chill out for long enough to let the smoke settle on this thread, there actually is an important issue seething beneath all this venom just waiting for someone to lift it tenderly into the light of day.

Ok, I guess the issue that rakishness wants to raise is this.

Is confidence good for getting the women who already like you -

OR

Does it have an actual causal impact on the girls who like you in the first place?

First off, I want to just get something out there, which is this. The whole issue about emo guys/goths or whatever is actually very interesting.

Positivity and confidence are TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

I really hate using capitals. It makes me feel like a screechy *****. I wish I could, through the use of eloquent prose, communicate my intent and conceptual content with perspicacity and aplomb. At the same time, sometimes, only capitals will do.

Confidence is not about being chirpy. Some of the most unbelievable naturals I have ever seen - including a man who had something like 3 threesomes with stunning girls (all different chicks) on 3 consecutive weekends (yes, really) was a goth.

He was also mind-meltingly shallow. His job? He was a computer games playtester. I **** you not.

When this guy walked through a room, it was like drawing a powerful magnet through a field of iron filings - women just flocked to him. Even ones who didn't want to. It was weird. It was like watching Angelina Jolie gatecrash a Star Trek convention.

Confidence is not about being positive. It is about expressing everything - EVERYTHING - with confidence.

So that means if you feel like ****, you say it confidently. If you think that life is meaningless, you say it confidently. If you're a ****ing goth (God, I hate Goths soooooooo much) and you express that confidently - you will get laid like a rock star.

Confidently expressing vulnerabilities is one of the most attractive things a man can do.

Make sure they're real though. Otherwise you'll just come across like a freak.

But also - remember - expressing something does not mean you are getting lost in it. You can overcome your vulnerabilities functionally, but they're still with you. You just work around them.

Like a man with one leg. Functionally, he can learn to move as fast as he did with two legs. He can't grow his leg back.

If you're fat, or you're bald, or short, or you look like the back of a bus - don't get lost in that ****. It will only be an irrelevance when you make it an irrelevance to you. Conquer your weaknesses for you, as a person, however you can. Weakness and negativity are two different things.

But negativity, strongly and honestly expressed, can be extremely attractive.

Why?

Because anything that is strongly and honestly expressed can be extremely attractive.

Confidence is not positivity.

Negativity is not weakness.

Confidence is defiance. It is courage. It is the part of you that would fight through fire and hell for something you know is right. It is your strength, your real strength of character, honestly expressed.

And that is the most attractive thing that a man can do.

Period.

Confidence = being self assured.

Yes - and that leads in to all sorts of knotty questions about the self. About who you are.

That's why the inner game work on this forum is extremely important.

The best thing to do to start? Think of what scares you and face it relentlessly until it doesn't scare you anymore.

Think of what you want more than anything else and resolve to do it. Then actually do it, no matter what it takes.

Face your fears with women by approaching them relentlessly.

Test yourself.

Test your self.

There's one of my posts that deals with exactly this issue.

Here's the link:

Confidence is a great trait to have.....no doubt. It is important that all of us act with courage in all we do. BUT......You can have all the courage in the WORLD...if a women "percieves" another man who is a COWARD as more superior than you....she will choose the other man.

Is this a terrible thing....no....remember attraction is not a choice.
 

"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.
