Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

learning must be a hard task?

why the learning process is always painful?

to learn to get girls you must be rejected a lot
to learn to make money you must loose money
to learn to walk you must fall
to learn to have sex you get really nervous
to learn to ride a car the chances are big that you can hit
etc..

Is there another way of learning?
 

"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.

Experience is the best teacher.

To go biblical for a second, God told Adam and Eve not to eat from that tree, but they did anyway. In that case "information wasn't enough", experience can be much more painful.

As for that comment on getting rejected when talking to women, I've talked to a few that I assume I'm on good terms with and sometimes I still get that wide-eyed:eek: "What does he want from me" look.:rolleyes:

LOSE, for the love of G-d. You're right, learning must be hard. Learn to spell.

Everytime you're going to learn, you're going to have to take some risks. You can mitigate the risks by taking things slower but at some point you've got to do whatever it is you want to do.

parachuters for example take ground classes first, and their first jump is with an experience partner.

so if you're worried about the risks, mitigate them, but don't give up altogether.

No, it doesn't have to be a hard task.

This here is the main reason why organized people succeed more than disorganized people.

It's not that they're smarter, but organized people pace themselves better. So if Disorganized Dan has to read a difficult chemistry textbook, he'll throw himself into it until he gets tired and frustrated, then he'll quit and not come back to it.

Organized Ollie on the other hand, will say, "This is a hard textbook.". He'll break his reading into sections, or even paragraphs and work on those subunits until he understands them. Between subunits, he might take breaks to refresh his energy. So his last memory when he gets up is for successfully completing a subunit, and he'll come to it with more energy as he goes on. Plus he'll be tracking his progress with a list or something on paper, so at a glance he can tell that he's actually doing something.

"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.

The way i look at it is it's like making money. Thank god it is hard, somewhat painful an not instantaneous.

All I've got going for me is the ability to do these things for the things I want and the majority don't.

Ironically the more you do it, the less painful and the more enjoyable it is.
