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

"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.
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.

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.

RE:
36 Strategies doesnt come out till Jan or Feb 2006
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
