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.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.

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.
