"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.

When I find myself slipping, often go back to this mindset (not frame). Find it always helps.


If you adopt this mindset, daily things won’t affect you because you are always focused on the “big picture”.

Watch yourself men, and be strong. :up:
 

"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.

"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.

Affirmations don't work. They never will because the same thoughts that are causing OP to sleep disguise and come in through the back door.
Action over affirmations and self talk. Abundance mindset only comes through results and action. Not mental talk.

Anything with a set steps to success or 6 this to that. RUN.
You are in a war not a negotiating committee.
I agree that simple affirmations are ineffective, it's just another way to cover up the problem. I disagree that just taking action (by going out there and hitting on women) is the whole solution, guys will take actions, have a lot of trouble getting positive results and it becomes yet another way to cover up the problem.

What's the problem? The problem is how a guy ended up like they did, to identify exactly what went wrong. Guys aren't born with a scarcity mindset, we get that from negative life experiences. If we don't identify and address the root of our personal issues it will continue running the show from the background.

I do agree that "follow these X steps to success" articles are very oversimplified, but they're not wrong. It's just that a guy needs to go a lot deeper first before those articles makes sense or are remotely helpful.
