"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.

Joe Rogan - If You Want To Be Happy You Have To Prostitute Yourself First

"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.

Joe Rogan speaking on the lives of normal people is like normal people speaking on the life of Joe Rogan, both parties have short sighted insights into what they are talking about.

It is his guest speaking not him

I listen to JRE all the time he's constantly commenting on the lives of normal people, I mean he's a comedian, I get it, but I feel the guy is much more of an out of touch millionaire than comedian at this point.

Just don't tell him that

Not sure if he means it in a sexual or professional way, either case most people lack what it takes to do it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

1. His guest did the speaking
2. The story was quite good. It is basically what Buddha did. Actually it describes our lives.

That's cool but I was talking about in general, notice how I used the term "All the time" I used that term to describe listening outside of what you posted

Ok fair enough.

Even on that one I would say he is not that special. He is loved because he is quite basic.

To bring it back to your other post, what made Buddha special to begin with was that he came from privilege and saw poverty, Joe openly speaks about coming from a sense of poverty, but Joe has literally been a millionaire since Fear Factor, if he was similar to Buddha he could of retired on that money because he'd be living the life of a normal person, clearly based on his work ethic he either is just not a normal person or has a lifestyle that requires a large amount of money and like you said guy seems fairly normal.

I think many people side with Joe right now because left wing media is portraying him as a right wing extremist supporter, I view him as more of a centrist at times but he used to play heavily into leftist narratives until critical thought was introduced on his podcast.

People watched him in the beginning because there was an air of shock jockery but watch episode 1 and watch recent episodes I mean he's not the same person, I find his show entertaining purely for his guests, anything he has said has almost unquestionably been said before, it almost bothers me when a guest is grilled for interrupting him outside of the great interrupter

What makes Buddha and Joe normal is that it is the story that most people face. That is at least the theory in the vid. It is that our emotions want to explore the world and then try to come back to reason. It is the archetype of strory telling according to the Richie guy.

Actually in many ways Joe did not change. He is openminded and interested in many things. He is not too intelligent so the pace is not too fast for his audience. He is into self improvement so he gets better slowly with time.
 

"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.
