"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.

What's a good book on being a man? Like topics like leading, taking risks, your role, ect.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

There're some great books:

"The seven habits of highly effective people" by Stephen Covey;

"Absent fathers, lost sons" by Guy Corneau (recommended in David de angelo's seminars);

"Influence Science and Practice" by Robert B. Cialdini;

"The 48 laws of power" by Robert Greene. (not really sure if it makes you a "man", but an interesting read, though)

I follow most of david's tips (I apply my own ideas too). In his seminars he said that most of the things that make you successful with women, are the same things that make you successful in business.

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

are must haves when wanting to learn more about men's studies.
His best series are "Sexual communication" and "Deep inner game". His "Deep inner game" is a KILLER! It's not exclusively directed to women, it's more of a general program. His guest is a psychologist who is the main lecturer in the program.
