Nice reference.samspade said:Messiah...heck I always thought to summon RT you had to go to the Crossroads and play a little blues. Then you'll get all the chicks you want, for a price.

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.

You NAILED Buddha. Thats it. Thanks a lot. By the way, everything is flowing smooth!Buddha_Mind said:From the first essay, "True power isn’t controlling others, but the degree to which you control the course of your own life and your own choices."
I dig this man. Sometimes I get confounded in life as there's always a bigger monkey in the cage and to truly be 'top dog' I think is impossible (I have no desire to be top dog anyways). But rather than live in a jungle mentality of "outcompeting" others or AMOGing, your words are true. Focus on thyself.
Thank you very much Mr. Rollo. Thats the basics that I will have internalized in my core. Love your blog and your writings. Keep on!!Rollo Tomassi said:BRAZIL, read these two essays, I think they'll address what you're going through now:

Ha ha you guys are ridiculously funny. It's funny I was just asking about Rollo on another Thread some minutes ago and he appears in this one albeit 7 days late, lol.Purefilth said:what happens If I look into the mirror at midnight and say your name three times :nervous:
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.
Probably, but what actions do you see fit in this case? I had made a mistake and now I gotta follow along while working to be a better man.Purefilth said:Too much talk, not enough action.
It's said that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi. (US 61 & US 49).Atom Smasher said:Nice reference.![]()
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.
