Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I'm bringing Strauss' book, "The Game" to high school.

I no longer care if anyone finds out that I'm into this stuff. I've read the book once, and why not read it again, in a place where I have plenty of free time?

I'm a senior. I dress well, and act non-needy. I don't care if people find out I do this stuff. When they do I can talk about it freely.

I don't care. School starts again next Monday, April 7th.
 

"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.

What response are you looking for? Do what you want.
 

"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.

Good luck!

Can't say I would do that.

Look forward to seeing how it goes.

DON'T DO IT BRO! When I was in high school I would do that and at first I thought nobody gave a sheeet. But as time went on and I was with my group of friends ,guys and gals, the book thing would pop up in sarcastic comments and jokes from the guys and the girls would look at me weird. I found out on my own that, yeah, it was a bad idea and now years later it got validated on this site with the some article suggesting "confident men don't tell the dynamics of attraction to women". I guess you want the women to think your a natural at creating attraction inside of them instead of some wanna be nerd trying to learn the game. That is what'll make you seem mysterious, that you know something others don't, but how?
 

"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 have a friend who actually carries that around with him, not to read but to use as an opener/prop. You'd be surprised how many women have read that book (and seen/heard of Mystery) and invariably they want to talk about it, and usually approach him before he can approach them (using some excuse to talk to them while 'accidentally' showing that he has it). They go on and on about how they are immune to it, all while my friend is getting in closer with them with every second. He's had more than a few dates with women who were 'immune to it'. I guess with how popular that stuff has gotten, you have women who are all about reading it to see what the deal is. This guy has also read "He's Just Not That Into You", the "Rules" and uses that stuff to his advantage also.

I don't know how it is with high school girls - it might only work on older women. Just thought I'd mention it.
