"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
 

"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.

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.

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.
