"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.

I concur...*Removes hand from "Delete Thread Button."*

If I do that...There will be a few hundred threads on this...
 

"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.

come on you guys, this thread is so funny, you have to leave it on. Its just goes to show you that the longest thread on the DJ forum is on masterbation and not on success stories, looks like some of us still have a long way to go lol

No way im reading all those posts, but I read one about acne.... whats the deal with that? Anyone breakout MORE while not masturbating?
Ive got a big acne problem, I usually try ti stop masturbating to PREVENT acne, never thought of it making it worse.

The belief with a lot of people is that when you masturbate your testosterone levels get really out of whack, increasing DHT which worsens acne for many people. But by not masturbating you keep more testosterone in you? Id like to hear more about this. Frankly, if i do it more than once a day at any time other than before bed I usually break out...

Djism is about becoming to best you can be. If not masturbating makes that happen then good for you.

And if the only thing that is holding you back from being the best that you can be is your propensity to masturbate, you are a better man than I. I must be wasting my time trying to build a real estate empire, completing my PhD and becoming irresistible to women. If I only had to worry about not masturbating to become the best that I can be, my life would suddenly have purpose.

Any of you guys remember the Army's old catch phrase? What if they felt the same way as this guy? Think about it:

"Be, all that you can be (don't masturbate) in the Arrrrrrrrmy!" :p
 

"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.

Yep. Sad, isn't it. I was actually compelled to post in this thread just because it seemed to be one of the most active. I would have thought the most active would be about approaching or qualifying women. But nope, one of the most active threads is about self gratification. Well, I guess we should blame this on Bush too....

Whoops, my bad.... :p

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

I'm going to withhold also. I've gone for 5 days so far....doesn't sound much but it's only the beginning.

I've recently resumed squats and deadlifts in the gym so hopefully my testosterone will surge.

why would you guys want to stop masturbatin? i jerk off at least once a day, before going to bed, usually twice or thrice and my game is freakin' good when i do it.
i noticed that when i don't masturbate before sleeping, the morning after, at school, i usually get less glances and, in general, girls are far less attracted than usual. maybe they can smell your "desperateness" to fùck

don't think i'm desperate, since i have sex with my girlfriend at least 3 times a week, usually more.

usually, if i have sex with my girlfriend, then i jerk off before sleeping, the day after i'm looked at as a god... dunno why, but it's so.


i think there's no point in stopping to masturbate, expecially if you work out
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Ok. I'm in just for the experiment, I want to see If I do actually feel any different or any benifits from it.

What exactly have u guys experinced?

The whole thing seems confusing and unconclusive,... some people are saying they are more horny / others aren't horny atall.... Some of you are saying woman seem more attracted to you than before then others saying it turns then off more.

So I'm gonna give it a try to see for myelf.

works out that *-) I'm at 11 hours already ... gonna try for 2 weeks at least
