"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.

Hi, D4rk here, i have been browsing the HS forums, and found that a lot of questions have to do with "is this AFC or DJ?" well, i recently have been reading the Book of Shuma Gora and i realized what is happening...see for yourself:

Orginally taken from the Book Of Shuma Gora:

It has long since been debated about whether or not an action is AFC, and if it is, whether or not it will interfere with your path to Don Juan nirvana.

Now, some actions are obviously AFC and should be avoided:

-calling several times a day
-bringing flowers to the first date
-being clingy and desperate
-having "one-itis"
-etc.

Now, what I'm trying to get across is the fact that although certain actions are AFC, you should not be too concerned if an action is AFC or not. The problem that many newbies have is that they see the AFC dillemma in only black or white. They place each action into each category, and make much dileberation of the whole affair. Given how many actions one can do, it gets ridiculous to categorize everything.

Rather, what I've figured out is DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! As long as you are doing the right things, you cannot come across as AFC.

These Right things are known as

1. Confidence

2. Challenge

3. Attitude

I call these three attributes the three pillars of Don Juan, for it is this three that holds up the rest. Without these three pillars, the rest of the system would come crashing down on you because these thre attributes are what makes it all happen.

As long as you remain confident, be a challenge, and have ther right attitude, nothing will be able to stop you. A True Don Juan does not worry if a smal linsignifigant action is AFC, he instead considers the big things. The little "AFC-or-not?" things do not hold up the Don Juan philosophy, it is the three pillars that do.

So I must ask you to consider, my friend, what is it that suports your game? Are you one of those who worry about whethewr or not everything is AFC? If so, you must add some pillars quickly, or your whole game will collapse out from under you. Or are you like me, your game being solidly supported by three gleaming tall pillars of Confidence, Challenge, and Attitude?
 

"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.

Good tip..

I've been told plenty of times I have attitude, and several times that I'm very confident, never been told I'm challenging though.. That is something I need to somehow work on.

An excellent post.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I've been saying this for a while now. The people that say "Ah no man, don't do that, that's AFC behavior" piss me off.

Some people do use "AFC" too much. Good post Sly. "The 3 pillars of DJ", good stuff.

I agree with the statement that AFC is overused. Just because you aren't a fully fledged DJ, it doesn't make you an AFC automatically.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
