"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.

So women haven't changed over that time frame?
This is a bit of a tangent, but anyway...Francisco, is this a serious question or are you busting my balls...?? Heck you didn´t register yesterday, did you? Society has changed, but neither biological nor evolutionary imperatives have changed the slightest bit. That enough in a nutshell?
 

"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.

Holy Jeebus!

Are you seriously saying that the the behaviour of women hasn't changed in the last 30 years, especially when it comes to women and their perspective of the world?

Guys, have you been smoking something over there???
Or is there genuine interest in this question?
We might make this a separate thread. Actually would be interesting. How much of modern women´s mental make up is instilled by modern (!) society and how much is hard wired by evolution? Or in other words - how much can Casanova, Weininger (!), Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Lermontov and all the others tell us about women and their nature? Can they at all? I´d bet my left nut that they can tell us everything... more than we ever would want to know even. But ok lets discuss that.

I tried to discuss DJ stuff with my dad some time... Dad is definitely alpha, successful in business as well as in sports and he definately had his share of babes. Been married now to mom for 25 years and they are still happy together although mom is a very strong dominant character but dad doesn´t take shyt from her nor from anybody, never.

Complete and utter failure... I got the "Let me tell you, you have to be completely open and honest when entering a relationship" speech and the "your conception of women makes me worried" talk, was called manipulative and misguided..

Typica text book example of a natural who never analyzed his own ways and when confronted with them does not only not recognize them, but criticises them harshly...
My experience dealing with people at the international level is that middle age men from Russia (born and raised there) are EXTREMELY alpha.

That being said, I agree about being honest from the beginng. I don't phuck around. I tell them straight up what I want and don't want. Even if I look like an azs in their eyes.
 

"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.
