"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.

Number 4 is sosuave in a nutshell.

"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.

me and my pops was talking about this one night

I was telling him why do people buy nice cars with rims on it, your the one driving the car so you cant see the car from the inside and you cant see the rims, so it make you think are you driving that car and showing off to other people

would you buy that car if it was only two other people in the same town you lived in

i learned this a long time ago,good thread
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have to wonder, though - does/should this advice apply to men only ?

The author sure seems to spend a lot of time talking about lonely guys. Probably no coincidence that the legendary scene from Glengarry Glenn Ross (and almost the entire movie) doesn't have any female characters.

Would any of you give similar advice to lonely women ? Probably not, we'd probably tell them to lose some weight or get cosmetic surgery. Women who are unhappy in their relationships or who can't be on their own ? They might benefit from this.

Men only bro.

Suck it up.

Women are flowers, they are delicate.

"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.

I'm going to screen mine going forward, make sure they did something worthwhile in the past year. Author's right - why would you want someone who's got nothing of substance to offer ?

Golden D!ck's for closers only :up:

Number 5 is pretty spot on too!

"But I'm not good at anything!" Well, I have good news -- throw enough hours of repetition at it and you can get sort of good at anything. I was the world's ****tiest writer when I was an infant. I was only slightly better at 25. But while I was failing miserably at my career, I wrote in my spare time for eight straight years, an article a week, before I ever made real money off it. It took 13 years for me to get good enough to make the New York Times best-seller list. It took me probably 20,000 hours of practice to sand the edges off my sucking.
Don't like the prospect of pouring all of that time into a skill? Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the sheer act of practicing will help you come out of your shell -- I got through years of tedious office work because I knew that I was learning a unique skill on the side. People quit because it takes too long to see results, because they can't figure out that the process is the result.
This basically what I tell people who crap all over pickup. They see the training stuff and think that's what people should rely on missing the forest for the trees that it's just a short-term fix to get guys experience and develop their confidence. The long-term goal is self-improvement through repetition, experience, and BECOMING a more attractive guy. it's not about getting girls, it's about becoming a guy women find attractive.

Before we get too carried away, the following articles were also written by David Wong - not that it diminishes his observations in the aforementioned article.

Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the MRM, I'm not sure I even count myself among their number, but Wong does his best to misunderstand, misrepresent, and malign the movement.
Nice catch. I guess a blind pig still can find a truffle every once and a while yah?
