"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Only someone from here, could try this hard and fail this bad lol.



We go over my girl's best friend's house to chill. She's got drinks and crap, we are just chilling. She tries to fire up her PC to do somethign, pc just refuses to cut on. She throws a hissy fit. she's frantic, her pc is gone!

Now, as some story for you tat don't know me, i've been a pc tech my entire life just about. So naturally I say what the hell is wrong? calm the **** down, talk. She says my pc can't cut on, i have so much stuff on there and now it's dead I don't know what to do.

I'm like okay, I go look at it. Dead as a doorknob. No surge protector. I open up the case with a screwdriver, no lights, no movement nothing.

So, I used another power chord, swtiched it out just to make sure it wasn't a faulty cord, nothing.

I'm like okay, this more than likely is a falty power supply. Even if it's something else I can't figure out what it is until I repace the faluty power supply.

There is a computer store a few blocks away, I say you know what i'll get get you one and put it in, it's like 50 bucks, no big deal. I haven't done it in a while, I actually don't mind, it's fun.

Now there was like 8 of us there, one of the guys, I guess, just decided, I was being way too DJ for the moment. She was listening to me (she was pretty cute) and so happy I was helping her, so the dude calms out of the blue and tries to tell her that, he wouldn't do that becuase it's dangerous replacing the power supply and 'there are like 25 things that could be wrong with it" and we need to sit down and figure out what they are lol, i'm like dude, it ****ing wouldn't cut on, so I ask him, what is the fist thing you would look at if your car would not cut on? he said the battery. I said that's exactly what I'm doing, and usually that's what it is, something battery related.

So I go and buy a power supply, plop it in in like 10 minutes, comp uter worked like a ****ing new machine lol. Dude just refused to let it go. Pissy the entire night. She had invited him over, by the time we left they weren't speaking lol.

All he had to do is sit back and let me fix the damn computer instead of trying to be "alpha" when he had no clue what the **** he was talking about or when it was clear I knew what the **** I was doing. I'm not goign to act alpha when a doctor gives someone some advice
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Girls tend to leave their computers running 24/7 which they are made to do and that's fine, BUT it also dramatically reduces the life of the power supply and all the other internal components. Nice to see you got it handed like a MAN and didn't take to those so called "geek squad" tards at Best Buy. Stay clear of them. Trust me.

Yeah it's stupid when people challenge you like that.

It escapes them, that by mere virtue of being the "challenger", they are automatically placing themselves in a position of inferiority.

Did Caesar challenge the Senate? No. He did as he pleased, to a chorus of bitter challengers whose jealousy ultimately lead them to kill Caesar.

I believe a defining virtue of men who win in the game of life, to be that of 'moving forward'. The men who rise to the top are those whose focus is always on the next hurdle, how to prepare for success, how to take advantage of all available assets. They simply don't have time, or the mental headspace, for bs that deviates from their mission. Sometimes the mission is a subject of devoted ambition, sometimes it is something as simple as needing to fix a computer, but in this instance, OP has demonstrated this quality in the manner by which he solved the problem.

This other loser was of no consequence, he lost before he opened his mouth.

This is one of my gripes about some people on this site, they try to become the super alpha male. They don't realize that being an "alpha male" is an inherent quality that's earned by changes in mindset that eventually change how you act overall. They think it means to dominate every other dude out there to come out on top and it just makes them seem insecure. A.k.a. they nurture big egos.
 

"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 kid, if you were honest you'd admit that you don't have it and you hate people who do.

What do you care what other people do, why does it so ruffle your little feathers?

Behind lawyers, which most stockbrokers simply avoid due to fear of getting sued, doctors were always the worst investment clients. They have a God complex and never want to listen to advice, especially disagreement. I found that trait in a lot of very successful men - when faced with something new, they would continue to act like experts despite being completely ignorant.

That is a trait of true confidence in yourself - to realize when someone else has superior knowledge about a particular area of expertise, stfu, and listen. No one is the top expert on everything.

troll or wannabe alpha detected, hope it's the latter :rolleyes:
 

"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.

May be the way I read it, but he doesn't sound alpha but a little AFC *****. He was worried about HER computer and refused to admit he knew nothing about computers. He also got all pissy after backbreaker fixed it.

Some people can naturally dominate other people in social settings without seeming insecure or overbearing. And I respect that.

You can go through life without trying to control every single situation and every conversation.

You did good bb!
 

"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.

Oh wow, he honestly said that 25 things could go wrong with installing a new PSU??? Are you kidding me?

What did he think that was... a MoBo? And even that is hard to screw up.
Obviously the guy had absolutely NO clue what he was talking about and that was his biggest mistake. Instead, he looked like a damn fool.

It's pretty much a "plug and play" situation and he turned it into a bomb defusing and then ended up looking even worse. That's why it's wise to just stick with what you know, there's no shame in not knowing about something rather than to act like you do and have it blow up in your face. God knows he probably could have scored points with everyone just by asking you if you could help him learn a few of those "IT intense things" like "Installing a new PSU".

Next time, ask him if he should get a 100w PSU and watch his reaction, guaranteed he would have said that the 100w was far better than a 50w. :box:

Seriously, who would argue against a busted PS if NOTHING turns on. Whats worse than dorks are dumb dorks...seriously. What is interesting that this guy was clearly trying to out do you in some regard, and it makes them look even worse than if they kept their mouth shut. I had a similar run in w/ a wanna be alpha ( he must have read pick up **** back in the day) and try and insult the women at our little party. you could tell he was trying too hard to be the jerk, so rather I talked to all the ladies and eventually ended up hooking up w/ one at the club we went too. His little routine made it easier for the normal people, thats for sure.

Unrelated but somewhat relevant story from this weekend. In college I worked for the campus network center and basically did field work to make sure everyone was online. Anyway, I was out this saturday and thought I saw an old buddy from college from like 6 years ago. I approach the group and start chatting, and it turns out that one of the girls remembers me troubleshooting her computer from all that time ago. So swag mean chicks remember you!

BB pro work as always. Keep up making pretenders look dumb. Too many of them, and too few of us!

I think both of you were trying to prove how alpha you were by fixing her PC, you just happened to guess the better solution.
you didnt even listen to what he had to say it seems, maybe he knew something you didn't perhaps? something that could help you later on in troubleshooting?
in the end she got her computer fixed for free, all she had to be a cute girl with a problem and woooosh, you guys rushed in to save her.
she did at least pay the $50 for the powersupply right?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
