"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.

The article had some good ideas, but I have to respectfully disagree with the advice that said not to go to a movie on a first date. I've had many movie date first dates end up in bed -- sometimes even making out right in the theatre.

Think about it: you're doing something that gets the gal's emotions running, and you're close to her, which really works in your favor if there's any kind of a "vibe."

Therefore, I'm all for movie date first dates.
 

"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 hadn't thought of "300" as being a tool for nookie... Something to consider....

Ha! Actually, some of my movie dates that turned into overnighters were arthouse films that turned out to be rather dark social commentary flicks. Hardly what one would think of as "date movies." But the proof of the pudding is in the eating ... (humpf ... no pun intended, but I'll run with it...)

Actually, I could see how 300 (or ZOO, as I call it, because of the way the logo looks) could lead to wild, animal sex with a tomboyish, fitness freak, martial arts aficianado chick (sheeeiiit, I'm getting turned-on just thinking of it!).

Eh, movie dates are so typical.

It really depends on the type of girl as to whether or not she'll have a good time or she'll be bored out of her mind.

I honestly suggest something to mix things up on the first date. An action date that gets her out of that "norm" and sets you as somebody unique.
 

"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.

I've never understood the lure of the movie date.
Last month was the first movie date I've ever been on and it's with my LTR!

I guess it depends on where your strengths lie.
I seduce through comfort and charm. It's hard to do that in a theater.

A movie is just 90 minutes of me not being able to work my game.

Two girlfriends of mine told me they got pretty wet during 300... I haven't seen it with a girl, but that'd be a good idea.
Also any funny movies work... the girl stays happy laughing, you both have fun, and you hardly have to talk!

I don't even think it had anything to do with the movies. They were probably just mad attracted to you from the beginning. You could have probably just gone for a free walk in the park or whatever and still have gotten @ss from these chicks. Fools Mate!
