"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.

According to Pook, as you think you shall become. Is the mind that strong? If I truly persuade myself that I am the goods and that all girls should be happy to even have a chance to be by my side, will I really start thinking that and it will become a natural state of mind, so natural that it will bring me a lot of self-confidence? And how can you convince yourself that, other then by repeating it to yourself countless times?
 

"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.

Yes, did you ever notice that if you lie to yourself about how something happened enough, you truly start to believe it? The more you hear something, you begin to accept it, and eventually actually believe it. Reading the affirmations before i go out does the same thing.

the more you hear it the more real it becomes

I think that belief is the core of your character and dictates how you live your life. Whether you believe in good or bad things, that is how you're going to perceive the world and yourself.

Of course you can always change your beliefs.

I'm not sure how you would keep that persistancy to put yourself in the state of mind you seek but at least start with being honest with yourself is a good start. Not saying that you should be realistic in a detrimental way but more of having a good solid ground to build your confidence.

Sure, but all that does is make you delusional, it doesn't mean it really DID happen. :rolleyes:

Wow, talk about missing the point entirely...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Believing something that's not true is delusional. The problem with most guys is that they DO believe things that are not true; things Hollywood and western society in general have pounded into them for years.

The "point" given that I responded to was idiotic, but the technique is useful for deprogramming purposes.

To a point it's true, but your mindset is only half the battle, action is the other. I mean I can sit here all day and visualize myself as a millionaire, but unless I actually get out there start a business or something, it's not going to happen. Success is a positive mindset + action.
