"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.

So I've learned that it's hard for me to be a bad boy and not come off as an a$$h0le. Any advice on how not to be a bad boy and not come of as an a$$h0le?
 

"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.

It's all right........ if u have a good time!
Demystify, you'd need to have been both the penultimate bad boy and the penultimate PUA to make a reasonable comparison on the effectiveness of each 'strategy'. In other words, you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Wanna be a bad boy? Contact a shady psychotherapist and have him plant repressed memories in you of sexual abuse as a child. Should work wonders.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So you want to act like a bad boy... lol, why don't you go to Hollywood and start acting? Life is not about acting (unless you are a professional).

Thanks for all the advice, but many of you aren't answer the original question:

It's the bad boy with the heart of gold who they go nuts for. Ever has it been, ever shall it be.

In other words, the bad boy/sometimes a$$hole who is 'misunderstood'. Think James Dean and every rock star who ever lived.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Bad boys dont care if people think they're an assh0le or not.

But, people will only think you're an assh0le if you do wrong to people, so dont. Simple as that.

Don't attack the girls.

For example. A bad boy doesn't take sh*t from people in charge. An assh*le will judge you based on what haircut you have. One is defense, the other is pointless attack on someone's personality and choice.

A badboy is courageous and does things despite warnings from other people. An assh*le doesn't give a sh*t and won't help you out even if you ask for help. In fact, the assh*le will probably kick you while you're down.


... etc. Something like that.
