"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.

Im looking for books/e-books on manipulation and persuasion. Any you guys suggest?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Sorry but this book is not that good. Half the stuff is common sense, the other half is garbage.

I suggest a book by Kevin Hogan. the book is the psychology of persuasion. Works wonders.

Desert, maybe for you.

If you are already amoral ok, but for those naive people it´s a huge wake up call. I´ve become way more cunning after this book, I have to becareful not to take it too far because IT IS dangerous. Now I laugh when I see a "shark" trying to fool me as I know his tatics.
 

"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.

Influence by Cialdini. It's not too long or hard to understand, but at the same time based on tested and proven techniques.

Good regardless of whether you're trying to manipulate, or just want to learn the tricks sales people and others are using on you, so that you can resist them better.

Manipulation is a tool for the weak. The 10,000 threads on this site bemoaning manipulative women would testify.

I am an award-winning insurance agent, and I have never manipulated anybody to get a sale.

"Why should I take the hard road when I can just get another bag of tricks?"

And if you truly feel the world is out to pull the wool over your eyes and rip you off, that is just a reflection of your own inadequacies.

Go to a book store and find any how to book concerning sales. Sales is the art of persuasion to a key.

Thank You. Im not talking about manipulating women, I already know how to seduce them. Most people don't want you to succeed and most will bring you down or give you the wrong advice on purpose. Ive witnessed it and have given the wrong advice. Ive also notice alot of people try to manipulate me, and I can see right through it. When your talking about another bag of tricks what exactly are you talking about?

maybe these manipulation sites work as good as about PUA's sites.
 

"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.
