I'm thinking about running for Junior Representative this year at band camp, but I'm not exactly sure how to get people to vote for me. I'm not necessarily popular or anything, so I'm going to have to give poeple a good reason to vote for me. So how do I presuade to people to vote for me?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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.
How do you get people to vote for you?

Well first of all one of my girlfriends won the drum major = leader for next year. I helped her in a few ways so let me tell you how she won. First of all everyone pretty much knew her so she was popular in band. Why? because she talked to EVERYONE I mean including the lozer nerds and the ugly fat chicks she talked smiled and was NICE to everyone. Secondly she started to get support EARLY probably 3 weeks before all the other candidates decided to start their campagin. By the time they got to them it was too late everyone pretty much loved the GIRL. The third reason she won is because she's my friend I did some tricks during the voting so she got extra 10. 
Of course noone knows about that but that's besides the point if you want to win fair then you gotta be popular and people have to KNOW YOU. So be friendly outgoing and start talking to ppl if you can't do that I suggest becoming friends with the ppl who count the votes.

You rigged the vote.
"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.

No I gave her 3 plus the other 7 wasn't from me so she won by 7.Bvbidd said:
Cool stuff, I won't have 3 weeks to do all of that, but I'll do what I can at the practice the day before we leave for band camp. Basically, I'm going to do what you suggested, talk to everyone, and be optimistic.PeterNorthisawesome said:Well first of all one of my girlfriends won the drum major = leader for next year.

write a funny speech
"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.
Also do something to make your speech memorable, but not rely heavily upon the gimmicks. I ran through a banner, leapt into the crowd shoke hands, leapt onto the stage like a pirate and then did my speech (I also knew 1999/2000 people). Being personable is most of the battle, and sadly cannot be done in within 24 hours (providing your group of people is large).
