Bonafide
Senior Don Juan
Is there a free E-book or did everybody buy it? I really don't feel like buying the book because frankly I don't need it that much, I just want to see what it has in it.
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.
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.
Karma have you read it ? Just curious because i have that book but i dont know if it worth reading it .KarmaSutra said:PM me your email address.
I've read it. It's good. I'm a speed-reader though, and have read a bunch of crap too.Daddy The Pimp said:Karma have you read it ? Just curious because i have that book but i dont know if it worth reading it .

No, I'm having a great day! I played an awesome gig last night with my band and got the phone number of an incredible woman. She called me today and we had a great conversation.Bonafide said:Uh...Sun Tzu, having a bad day?
By the way, contrary to what you say, you do need the book, because it talks about the fact that a man pays for what he owns, lives an honest life, and does not steal from others.Bonafide said:Is there a free E-book or did everybody buy it?

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.

SS, thanks for the support.SilverSonnet said:Bonafide...Firstly, there's no need to be harsh about this, and Sun Tzu IS trying to help you here, and also makes a valid point, I dont mind sending you the book, but take Sun's point to heart.
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.
Being a man has nothing to do with piracy, but being in complete control over yourself and thus having no ego. I understand people from your generation feel the need to feel righteous about certain things, but the newer generation grew up with information right at their finger tips. There are hundreds of bittorrent, newsgroup, filesharing sites that don't promote piracy but promotes sharing. Now, the problem with sharing today is the widespread accessibility of the internet. A complete stranger can "lend" you a book, without ever speaking to you. But the whole point to it is the "give a penny take a penny" motto. Now somewhere along the line, someone did indeed buy the product, but he shared it with his friend, who in turn shared it with his friend. The biggest problem is the duplication of a product, which in the end hurts the sellers. The people that have morals, however, should treat it as if they're just trying before buying. In the end it all depends on what you're willing to sacrifice for knowledge. I know I may not be making sense to you now, but hopefully someday you will understand.Sun Tzu said:You see, my original comments cannot be interpreted accurately by wondering if I'm in a bad mood. That is an incredibly simplistic thought process on your part which protects you from examining yourself and your motives. That is precisely why you don't have enough self-respect to pay for your possessions like a man. You cannot understand that the very mechanism that drives you to steal income from another man is the same mechanism that prevents you from handling your relationships with yourself and with women. Again, you are currently incapable of understanding this right now. I write it in the hope of planting a seed that will eventually mean something to you as you learn and start to understand yourself. Just some tough love, brother. You will recognize it as such someday.
And I'm sure you've never run a red light, smoked a joint, "forgot" to put change in the meter and promised not to cvm in her mouth.Sun Tzu said:LOL, you are so severely under-armed for a battle of wits with me that I can't possibly bloody you up in such a battle. It would be a massacre.
I will say this, though: In America we value rule-of-law. Copyright laws exist to protect authors from theft. If you had the wherewithal to publish a written work, you most certainly would avail yourself of the law in order to protect your investment.
What is your line of work? If you were a salesman, would you appreciate it if I moved in on your territory and "borrowed" some of your customers? If you owned a hardware store, would you be offended if I needed a circular saw and just walked in and took one?
The law recognizes what you are trying to defend as "theft". "The people who have morals" (your phrase) respect the law and refrain from making up silly principals to justify their desire to acquire knowledge and possessions without paying for them.
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.
