Yep...that freakin book is huge. Im plaining on buying it. I got to like law 14 and quit haha.
"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.
NO whiners

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.

"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.

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??

"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.
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.

"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.
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.
