"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.

You've so far shot down/given excuses for every suggestion given. Bad start.

And if not getting replies to your yahoo ad is so bad...just wait until you really get into it. Next are the ones who write you back...a few times that is, and then ignore you. After that, the ones you actually are able to meet in person, but will blow you off and disappear afterwards. Disappointment after disappointment. If you have the patience to stick it out, it won't be so bad after and you'll not care anymore...that's when you'll succeed and learn to play the numbers.

Take the suggestions you've been given so far...take a hundred pictures and pick the best, or get professional ones done if necessary. Put up your ad here for review and get some helpful tips.

I'd say work on other parts of your social life first. Chances are, you'll meet a lot of women through that.

Hell, I'm shy too, but when I stopped making excuses and feeling sorry for myself, and put myself out in public and took some chances, that's when I made progress.
 

"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.

Is that right? So why do they post online if they can't respond?

That might explain it! I am great guy. Of course!

To glorify themselves!

Or if they are pissed at their boyfriend they can find a quick penis and are looking for a gigalo type!

There a few that do respond only if you are their IDEAL mate!
 

"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.

Do not count yourself out right away. Pat yourself on the back for taking that courage putting your profile on the net. Don't you think that has a sliver of courage attached to it?


Everyone agrees that your attitude stinks. Consider Alpine's advice and find someone to slap some sense in you. Just kidding.


Try reading self-help books. Go to seminars that teach assertiveness. Best of all, do activities that you enjoy regardless if there are women or not. You are not alone on this one. Most self-proclaimed DJs had or having troubles just the one you are experiencing.

Read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill... If you take nothing else away from that book, remember this: the richest and most successful people in history got that way because there was never a doubt in their mind that they'd be anything but successful...

I know it works because I've had firm faith and confidence that I'd be rich since I was five years old... now while most everyone else I know is in debt I get richer and richer everyday... now I'm in the process of converting that same attitude into use with women... you'd be amazed at how well it works.

You think it is hard -and as such it is.

The Don Juan thinks it is easy -ans thus it is!

APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES

I was going to mention Napoleon Hill's book to negativefcf but he may misconstrue it and think that it only applies to money. Go get his book! I am also reading Joel Osteen's Your Best Life Now; I think it is an awesome book.

What does "negativefcf" mean? By itself sounds self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

Great posts.

Negativecfc, PM me. We are both in a similar situation now.

BTW, Matchdoctor is free. Try that one. I'm starting to use in and getting replies. I have a few experiences that make me less apt to use internet dating (a stalker, but hey that could have happened to anyone I guess, except this girl didn't look like what she said!)

"I recently signed up with Yahoo Personal, paid the $20 (unf*ckinbelievable). I am sending out all these invitations. But I have yet to receive ONE reply. It's been two weeks!

I feel like such a loser."

With an attitude like this I can see why nobody has replied. Why don't you post your invitations here and let us restructure it so that you sound like a real positive winner, while you actually do the work inside to change yourself that way.

While we are redoing it, you can re-do yourself.

cause its free
cause its fun
and cause they can

we love how good it makes us feel to get lots of responses to our ad that we made just for the ego boost.

and then we say we did it when we were bored, like you will believe it, trying to hide the need for the ego boost.

"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.
