"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is it normal to want to stick it to your friends?

man i hate my friends sometimes

i have a group of friends, and there's been a bit of a division, the alpha types lead and i (and other betas follow)

now i've been turning things around, firstly concentrating on me

so my job is much better (much better :crazy: ) my value as percieved by others outside the group (especially new people we meet) is getting much better

however...i still have these insecure feeligns and want to sometimes stick it to them, by saying oh btw check out this payslip b!tches, or look what i just bought :eek:

so my question is, is this normal? have you got any tips for sticking it to them ;) or what can i do to resolve it

thanks
 

"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.

It's normal for your type of situation. You don't have true friends.. Those aren't friends at all, rather a social umbrella you like to use for cover. Acquitances.


If you have true friends, which is rather rare, you don't care about this none sense.

It also seems like you're still pretty insecure. Like you need to validate who you are as a person by how much money you make.

Get you're inner game down, and you won't need external validation anymore. Like you said, keep concentrating on yourself until the urge to one-up your "buddies" doesn't even cross your mind.

your just a follower most alpha/leaders aren't tight with followers they just simply lead you around and have you do shiit for them. Work on getting your confidence up so you can become a leader.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

To cure your ills, I prescribe an apple a day and a healthy dose of the Book of Pook.

It can be hard when you realise that the people you either looked up to (or lead you around) are d!ckheads. Let them go do their thing, you go do yours.

jamesbell953 is right... work on yourself until you realise that you don't need to prove yourself better than them, because it just won't be necessary.
