"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.

Hi guys! I wasn't sure if this was the place to post this but it looked like the most relevant forum. It is... misc after all.

I discovered this whole community a few days ago picking up Neil Strauss' book "The Game".

Ever since, I've turned my three month summer break into a project, to see what this community is really like :)

It'll be great to get to know some of you guys.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Looks like you discovered the wrong community.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

lol actually, I was on a few PUA sites, and couldn't find any real active communities that used the bulletin board system of operation like this one, so I joined this one at the suggestion of a PUA reccomended links.

O great, another KBDJ.

He's had 37 posts in 1 day!
LOL, if you think that's bad, you should see some of the really really, really, really rediculously large communities. Some people there get really bad. Actually, there just happened to be some topics which looked interesting to me :)

To the original poster... are you here to learn to be a Don Juan or a pickup artist?
I'm here to get a well-rounded education.

I just don't understand why "the game" got so much attention even before it was released to the public, while hundreds of different types of books are released and never get noticed.

Isn't the Game supposed to be a hidden thing, under the counter?

Its like telling everyone all about the drug dealing underworld. And actually teaching common people the tricks of the trade. If Neil Strauss did the exact same thing about Drug Dealing.. He'd probably be dead by now.

You know what.. I don't need Neil Strauss or his books. He does look like metrosexual. :down:

I'm guessing the game got so much publicity, because it was the "first" book marketed in its category... couple that with the words "Secret Undeground Soceity"... well there you go.

A commonality to all man, and first-mover advantages... you got a winner.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
