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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
90% of your confidence comes from having a solid track record of successful PU$$Y getting. 10% is from mental mumbojumbo.splinterkb said:All it comes down to is confidence, which is completely based off of believing in yourself.
That is completely untrue. Confidence is 100% mental. Being successful with women only embraces confidence.. it doesn't make it. Just for the sake of the arguement.. How would you explain a person with high confidence that has never gotten any *****?DonGorgon said:90% of your confidence comes from having a solid track record of successful PU$$Y getting. 10% is from mental mumbojumbo.
here's the bigger picture - inner game vs outer gameenthusiast said:Learning a skill to get a HOT babe is like learning how to walk its your job. My point is you don't need to believe in yourself. You just have to know that you can get her. You have to know you can get her. Believing in yourself is irrelevant.
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.
How will your confidence be affected by 10000000 failures in a row?? Positively or negatively.splinterkb said:That is completely untrue. Confidence is 100% mental.

Your so off topic and geek talking its hilarious. My point that I been trying to hammer down to you guys is. Believing in yourself is confidence base on superstition. Knowing you can base on the whole situation make sense more.ready123 said:here's the bigger picture - inner game vs outer game
gaming a girl is like going to a job interview. knowing or believing or whatever you want to call (inner game) is only half of it. to get that job, you also need to develop social awareness of your behaviors and image and streamline it to get results. you need to know how to dress, how to field certain questions, what you're subcommunicating, etc. that's what outer game is - a structured model of what works and what doesn't, except in the context of talking to women
those who got their inner game down but lack any outer game lose that point of convergence because they can't results. they only got half of it, and it's not the applicable half
that this guy thinks all game is inner game tells me he's either a natural who doens't know he's a natural, or he has no clue what he's talking about
did you just say "superstition" like trols and unicorns..??:crackup:enthusiast said:Your so off topic and geek talking its hilarious. My point that I been trying to hammer down to you guys is.

not if you are ugly and broke and have no game and have failed 100000 times so have no confidence. Even Fat HB-3s are rejecting men these days...enthusiast said:If thats even possible...but the truth is meeting 30 women is enough to give you on the right perspective. Meeting 30 more will get you on the fast lane. Meeting 10 more will get you laid.
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.
DonGorgon said:did you just say "superstition" like trols and unicorns..??:crackup:
Ok.. I don't know how to make this any clearer. Inner game is the most important part.. your "outer" game relies on it. Learning how to answer certain questions and subcommunication will only give off false confidence. If you have confidence, it will show on the outside, and women can see that. Confidence is the base for all this other bull****.. All those gimicks may help in very certain situations, but it will probably show that you're completely uncomfortable on the inside, which then it won't matter what you say or how you act.ready123 said:here's the bigger picture - inner game vs outer game

Becasue YOU care abou tthat particualr IDEA
beleifs can change.
Knowing could be argued is a belief that is geared to an ACTUAL firsthand EXPERIENCE.
What we may be talking about , Semantics really, is betwen the difference of book learning versus street learning.
(ultimately, there is no pure 'book' learning, as ALL knowledge must be Processed in order for it to be understood and integrated)
but to have great success, you need BOTH.
This may be a variation iof the old "Just do it" mentality or the "dont think about it!' mentality. Against the "Work on yourself first BEFORE you go out."
Both have some merit.
I would also say, that working on your Inner Game before any really major things gives you an edge that simply daily repeted expereince does not.
Working on Inner Game AWAY from the Field, gives you Well Focused TIME to Self Reflect and rewire your mental programming, beliefs, and paradigms.
However , in field , REAL TIME SKill is Necessary as well.
They are not mutually exclusive, as you will eventually find out.
One reinforces the other.
You learn "book"/ Self Examination knowledge, then ..YOU APPLY it in the real world.
You observe your RESULTS, if any, good or bad, without emotional attachment, and then REVIEW what you may need to work on to improve and get RESULTS that YOU want.
So there ARE limitations to correclty expressing the MEANING BEHIND the "Just do it" , "Dont think about it" notions.
Both of which, when taken out of CONTEXT completely fail the user as empowering notions to maintain.
I also think we get back into the "routine' vs "natural' debate in its many forms.
I think it is great to debate it and formulate hypotheses.
Becasue it makes you more focuse and driven to get what you want.
At the end of the day, it is about building a Better Life, the Life YOU WANT..
But, I do beleive we have to agree that many of us have intrinsic value.
This value is attractive to women.
BUT..
many of us have to do some UNCOVERING to get under all those toxic beliefs to get that intrinsic value to shine through.
And many of us, only need to sharpen some outside technical skills to let out natural charming and attractive self to shine through
I know that EVERYONE can seriously benefit from Inner Game work under any circumstances though...
DonGorgon said:^^^wow he is going deep now looks like he has been doing some reading too...
What pain ?? I feel fine.Interceptor said:No, Im very shallow. And Im illiterate.
I feel your pain...
Interceptor said:Exactly, Enthusiast.
There is an instrinsic value that ALL men have.
We need to work on recognizing this and empowering men to see this for themselves.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
