"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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 absolutely love reading biographies. There's just something satisfying about reading a person's (or people's) struggles through life to get where they want to be. I've read a few, but there are two that are definately worth mentioning....

Motley Crue - The Dirt
Although these guys are AFCs (especially Tommy Lee) This is one fantastic read! The amount of drugs and women these guys did was absolutely crazy (well, maybe not the women ;) )

Marc Bolan
He was the lead singer of the band T. Rex. Although I'm not aware of a book written about him, there is a fantastic biography here. The guy was a true Don Juan all the way, never losing sight of what he wanted throughout all the problems he encountered on the way up to the top.

Anyone have some other good suggestions for biographies to read?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Warren Buffett - the Making of an American Capitalist

I'll admit, most guys, especially the younger ones here won't find this read any bit fascinating, but there is a tremendous wealth of knowledge to learn from this guy. I read it three years ago and it's still my favorite biography.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Two really good ones that inspire:

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

Wiseguy, which is the book that Goodfellas was based on, is a great read.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
:rockon:

I was going to suggest that, but I doubt that most guys here would have respect for it.

Richard Branson - its called 'loosing my virginty' so you know its got to be good :p
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
