"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"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.

He was on the Jimmy Kimmel show too. These tactics have now went mainstream. I don't know what effect that will have or not on their usefulness, but if they were believed to be effective secret weapons in PU, then it seems he sold out.

yeah, i think shes a high 8 or 9. i would have expected a porn star or stripper. buut his girl is pretty hot. The Game is 400 and something pages long. its worth it though.
 

"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.

The book was informative, If not a morality play towards the end.
All in all it kept my beady eyes glued to it.

I watched the interview he gave on The View (I had to shower immediately afterwards to get the sappy s*** washed off!) Not quite what I expected coming from Mysterys' heir apparent.

"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.

RE:

Like I said I just dont like how its publicized everywhere now. Books like "The Game" should be kept more on the underground circuit I believe not stocked in the shelves at Barnes and Noble and advertised on Prime Time and such.
Imagine someone coming out with a high powered offense and techniques for weaker teams to get an advantage and them some coach decides to learn it, and write a book about it and then go on ESPN promoting it. It should be kept more on the hush-hush, hell even Art of Seduction wasnt that publicized and its a better book IMO. And to watch him sit there and talk about 'negs' and openers on a womans tv show and for Star Jones to say everyone in the audience gets a free copy....whats next the worldwide movie release?

This has been discussed to death in other threads. If you're in the game you know he hasn't revealed any "abra cadabra" secrets that's gonna turn a Don't Juan into a Don Juan. Someone made a great analogy in the other thread. The game is like weightlifting it requires lots of effort and dedication. Highly unlikely this will become mainstream.
