"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.

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?
 

"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.

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...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near 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.
