"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.

Is anyone else completely exhausted with all these things you have to do in order to pick up chicks nowdays?

PUA made it impossible to get with a decent girl by creating all these stupid pick up techniques. In order to get a girl you have to know exactly what to text and when to text, what to wear, what to have on your facebook page, work out constantly, go weeks without Burger King, have the right pickup line, have tons of friends that you can show to her, have a great job, house, car, etc.

If this is what it takes to get a girlfriend, I think I would rather just be lazy and watch reruns of 80's TV shows on the weekend. I've been doing that lately and it has actually been pretty fun. If I complain in the next couple of months about not having a girlfriend, please kick me. Having a girlfriend is more effort than what it's worth.
 

"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.

PUA is gimmicky ****e - its all just a sales pitch to make you buy a book / go on a bootcamp for only $10000.

Focus on stuff you enjoy.
Burgerking and fast food is all crap for you anyway. I cook decent clean food at home. As for working out - I enjoy tearing up the gym. And why WOULDN'T you want to take a decent job and a good wage?

I don't use pickup lines or go and wait a certai time to call or text. I do whatever I fell like whenever I want to. Thats what this site about. Becoming happy and comfortable in yourself. There a focus on pickup because that what most guys feel they suck at and want to improve on. its all about the big picture.


I have discovered the meaning of life.

It is -

To give life Meaning.

You're sorta missing th point.

Take those things you find useful and consistent with who you are and want to be and make them part of you.

PUA has a lot of gimmickry (how else can they sell you stuff?).

DJ is different. It's not a cookbook or a script.

Sounds like you might be caring too much, and taking things too seriously. Just gotta realize that it IS all a game - and to not give a ****. Just gotta have fun and live life. Don't get tangled up in the stresses of how things are. Nobody wants things to be how they are - even outside of the dating realm - but you gotta deal and adapt... or be left behind. The nature of attraction & people isn't going to change; these "games" exist for a reason.
 

"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.

Nah man, it's fun, not exhausting at all. Forget about the techniques/line/routines/magic tricks. Game is not about that pua crap.

You sound like you have bigger problems though, a lack of motivation. Nobody here or anywhere can motivate you, it has to be internal, you need to work on yourself, be awesome, build a better life, get strong, work harder, earn more, get more friends, build your wealth etc. Self-improvement is how you have a happy, fulfilling life not bloody burger king or television.
