"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.
 

"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.

Looks like you discovered the wrong community.

:crackup:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
