Disdain things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best revenge.
"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.
I was going over the 48 laws of power and this one setence jumped out at me

"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.
Mine is law number 48:
Assume Formlessness:
"By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. Instead of taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the move. Accept the fact that nothing is certain and no law is fixed. The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water; never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes."
I think the above statment pretty much sums up the difference between a PUA and a DJ.

I was just thinking about Bruce Lee and how he complements formlessness...
His quote about being water is excellent, formless, but if you put all of yourself into what your goal is you can cause a tremendous crash...

hmm on a side note
be a tsunami... it is in the media that 3 times as many women died, from the christmas tsunami last year, compared to men.

I always crack open the 48 laws book and read a few pages every now and then. Very interesting, yet basic stuff that can be applied towards almost any aspect of your life.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

lol I just finished reading that yesterday. Good book.
Ya... Def. a Dope Book!
I'm on my 2nd round of it right now.
I'm sure you've all read "the Art of Seduction" by R.Greene as well.
More devilishly thoroughy insight. Delicious!
Anyone read his... 36 Stategies of War?
Pretty much his break down of SunTzu's: Art of War.
No doubt its got to be of the same brilliance, as his other books.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
