"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
