Francisco d'Anconia
Master Don Juan
Robert Downey's Tony Stark character in the upcoming Ironman movie. He has c/f down cold.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.

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 don't know if it were AFC or not. He was able to recognize that he cared for this particular woman more than any of the others (wasn't it over a thousand). I think it's pretty impressive to be able identify one that stands above the others while being able to have countless to choose from.Nexus Polaris said:Ironically, Don Juan DeMarco turns AFC at one point in the movie. He removes his mask he swore to always wear to try to get his lover to forgive him for having so many partners. Not only does she not forgive him, but she takes his mask and leaves.
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.
Yeah, Antonio does well in the Zorro flicks but I would definitely say that his character in Desparado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico had a more entense type of charisma; attitude for days.DJDamage said:The Mask of Zorro.
Watch how a petty thief by the name of Alejandro(Banderas) transform into Don Diego Vega/Zorro with the help of the old Zorro (Hopkins) and using his new suave personality able to seduce the hot Elana (Zeta Jones) and saves the day. Lots of good DJ stuff in this movie.

There is no way in hell I'm going to start watching that movie as some allegory to the death of the AFC... It a good movie with good action and a dam good modern day version of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" with people's perceptions might not see the world what it is actually is and people's resistance to new ideas (blue pill/red pill), but starting to put stuff that was not meant by the writers is too much of a strech to me and as a dj inspration...jackmode211 said:Neo from the matrix......
...he was born a slave. in a sense an AFC.....then through a process of self realization he became the one(don juan)
the matrix is the dream world pulled over our eyes...(by the media) women are the prize/ buy flowers/pay for everything/write poems....untill the day comes where you must choose the red or blue pill (continue in your AFCness or take steps to become a don juan)....hopefully you will choose the right choice and become free....
agent smith kills neo....
....something must kill the AFC within you to move onto the next step....
Neo wakes up realizing that he is the one....and can see the matrix for what it really is....
When the AFC within you is dead the Don juan in you can grow...and you can see the world for what it realy is ...and how it really works....
....think about it....watch the matrix again...
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I kinda missed the link too.TheHumanist said:There is no way in hell I'm going to start watching that movie as some allegory to the death of the AFC...

Yep and in the movie Once Upon a time in Mexico, Depp also played a cool suave character.Francisco d'Anconia said:Yeah, Antonio does well in the Zorro flicks but I would definitely say that his character in Desparado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico had a more entense type of charisma; attitude for days.
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.
