ImTheDoubleGreatest!
Master Don Juan
Not about game or women or red pill or any of that. Just some interesting books. I typically find myself into fiction, but if it’s nonfiction that’s cool too.
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.
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.
Funny, I just heard about the movie version of this recently because of a song I heard. Is it worth a shot or is it completely butchered compared to the original book?Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh

I thought I read the second one for free somewhere, but that was a while ago, and I can't find the link. It is an incredible true story.
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.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Everyone always talks about this guy I notice. He’s been a big name since like the 80s or something.Aborted a reading of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, due to it being a bit heavy.
Chose to pick up the dark tower series by Stephen King instead. Haven't read any of his stuff since i was a little kid. He's probably the reason that i'm literate.
It's something like 5000 or 6000 pages, all told. So, i don't need to think much about reading materials for a while/can focus on different things.
It's like the literary equivalent of settling down.
