Hi Duke. Just wanted to say I think your journal is really cool, and it sounds like you are becoming quite the ladies' man. Keep up the good work!!
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
the one on the first page where u fluffed up the pick up for the girls that were working and Don Ronny gave you the lines about i read in the Times that working is bad for you and there is only one way to cure it.Originally posted by Duke

Bloody hell, it's my British buddy JSH! When you said "revision," what were you referring to? And what "angle" do you intend to use? You got me curious. Don't leave me hangin'! [/B]
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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
hahahhahahahhahha Duke your the Fvckin man. With clubbing I think your objective should be more along the lines of getting them to dance. That way you can grind on them in your sexual state and get them horny. When there horny you should try to get them alone by any means.Originally posted by Duke
Me: Hey, either one of you want an extra straw?
UG: Why would we want an extra straw we already have one.
Me: Uh... you can sip your drink twice as fast.
Thanks PP! To most girls dancing doesn't mean anything, and besides that, I'm a better talker than I am a dancer. My lips will weave my magic, not my hips. I do believe, however, that dancing is a good way to get the chick away (haha, I don't want to say isolate cuz I feel like a fukking ax-murderer) from her friends.Originally posted by Peter Parker

As far as the b/f thing goes you guys need to be careful. Chicks are fvcked up I’m sure for half the beef in my neighborhood there’s some gyals behind it pulling the strings. If the girl is throwing herself at you sure Why the fvck not. But if your pursuing really hard just think that she might be using you as a test to see how much of a tough guy her b/f really is.

Thanks, Wacky-1! I see you have good taste! *rubs chin*Originally posted by Wacky-1
Duke,
I gotta hand it to you bro...this is one HELL of an inspirational thread you've got going here.I'm sorta new here, but I know good stuff when I see it.
Could you gimme a hand here and elaborate about this "sexual state"?Or is it the one you referred to when you were walking or talking slowly?I get the stuff about you approaching cos of balls etc, that's kids stuff.But I'm losing you on this "sexual state" thing.Could you explain?![]()
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.
