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

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.

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.

"A Theory of Everything : An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science and Spirituality" by Ken Wilber

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

"Silent Power" by Stuart Wilde
"The Psychology of Achievement: "Develop the Top Achiever's Mindset" [Abridged] by Brian Tracy
"What to Say When You Talk to Your Self" by Shad Helmstetter
"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.

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.Originally posted by organizedconfusion
