"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.

Out of all the fictitious characters in movies, TV Shows, Books, or Cartoons who would you choose to emulate if you had to choose? Bonus points if you can link me to some sources lol. I'm looking for the best "Alpha male" so to speak. Someone who is fun, has swagger and is supremely confident... being 'brilliant' wouldn't hurt either ;-)

I was thinking James Bond, Cary Grant, or a young Arnold Schwarzenegger? I've never really looked into any of them though. I've just heard about them.
 

"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.

You can start on this forum. There is a fictitious character called @guru1000.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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.

I'm mixed, so I'd choose Dwayne Johnston.
Dwayne Johnson is a good inspirational choice. He is up at 4am doing heavy workouts every day, and is highly ambitious and dedicated to his career. He also has about as much charisma as a man can have.

I've always liked Clint Eastwood as a good model of a masculine alpha male type (especially in his westerns), but you can't exactly go around shooting people up or raping a woman who bumps into on the street (High Plains Drifter). Also, he suffers from the same problem James Bond does. He doesn't talk much, and doesn't DO anything to attract women, they just fall into his bed because they are written to in the script. They like him because he's a dominant gunfighter, but like I said you can't go around shooting people. So it's not like you can emulate him. He's also tall, so if you're not 6'4", you won't have the same presence.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Watching all movies. Only into 80s. Sean so far
I gave up after Roger Moore. Maybe I'll get back to them eventually. I agree Sean Connery was the best Bond though.
I did see one of Daniel Craig's.

This man has it correct. I try to model myself, that is my best self. So in a domain where I have little acumen, I ask myself what would a guru1000 of this particular domain do.

These are called “mental paradigms,” that is, the model of excellence that YOU demand to govern your life and the choices which are prompted thereof.

In order:

James Bond
Clint Eastwood
John Wayne
Brett Favre
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Charles Bronson

All different in certain ways but they're f*ucking MEN.

Notice how most DJ role models are from decades ago, exception being D Johnson and still he's in his 40s and Favre is almost 50.

What does this say about today's modern male?
