Yep...that freakin book is huge. Im plaining on buying it. I got to like law 14 and quit haha.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

lets all make it an issue to try to get rid of some negativity and away from some toxic people that spread it.
we may not be 100% happy all the time, but we dont have to act 100% unhappy all the time !!
good to see some points of view on this matter.

i'M TRYING To figure out if Im negative or a realist.... I wonder if there's anything wrong with calling sh** sh**?
As much as I hate the whiners, i hate the think positive crows as much.... Every problem or emotion doesnt have a quick solution......

The 48 Laws of Power should have been a standard text for you DJ's, as well as, 'The Art of Seduction', by the same author. I'd be quite surprised if you hadn't read one or both of these considering your apparent interests...

2/3 of the way done with it. Really good book. I've learned more with it than wit hthe DJ bible or David D material, etc.
*Gets the feeling he's doing a commerical*
"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.

I whine because it keeps me from both becoming a pushover and avoiding a ride to the police department for 1st degree battery

oh no a tough guy whiner:woo:
Heh, Good post..
I learned a great thing in the military, it's what our drill instructors kept shouting at us, once anyone complained:
Love the situation.
ALLWAYS love the situation. Does whining help? No, it just brings other people down too.
So, you're single, congratulations, you are now free to decide what to do yourself, you can screw any woman you'd like, take a dump with the door open, and you don't have to put the seat down after taking a piss...
Positive outlook on life, helps alot. And besides, who likes a whiner??

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
No matter what situation your in, If there's nothing you can do about it to improve it, just learn to like/love it.
Allways look at the positive sides of ANY GIVEN situaton.
It takes some time to get used to the idea, but, we all learn this lesson sooner or later.
It's all about being enthustiastic and optimistic.
Let's take the old annalogy "is the glass off orange juice half full, or half empty"
Who cares? as long as it ain't to the brim, you can pour in some Jaegermeifter and make a decent drink out of it...
THATS the mindset to strive for...

Well, For me, it finally dawned that it was a waste of energy and that I brought my squadmates down, when I was walking in piss rain, - degrees C, with 2 broken bones in my left foot and carrying my gear and backpack, my mates backpack, my standard AK5, a anti tank weapon, and a tank mine at 2.15 am a tuesday morning.
I think it's up to individual, and his life experiences. When you hit rock bottom, you can only head up.
Maybe I'm just crazy, cracked and became a lunatic. OR I reached enlightenement.

Impressive! I've heard military training does things to your mind that make you impervious to hardship like that.
Unfortunately, I've got a long way to go before I hit rock bottom.
I'm at that neutral point where life doesn't suck, but isn't a 24 hour ego trip either, so I have zero motivation.

The worst thing in the world that you can be is ambivalent ... at least with feeling sh!tty you're motivated to improve things.
Nirvana is overrated; especially if you're the kind of guy who can enjoy pain as well as pleasure.
