"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 dont know if its me or not. I got my hands on a few e-books. After reading 10-20 pages. My eyes get sore and over the long haul it just dosent feel the same. Yea there free but nothing like holding a book in your hand.

I watched the secret and plan on again. Amazing. Ive read similar books.

Im going to barnes and noble to pick up a few;

Rich dad poor dad
48 laws of power
unlock reality
the attracto factor
how to win friends and influence people

anything else ?

"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.

Robert Greene is a great author on the subject. I see that you've listed "48 Laws of Power", a great book. Don't forget "The Art of Seduction" & "33 Strategies of War" by that author as well.

The Art Of War - Sun Tzu -- Classic, must read book on the subject.

Miyamoto Mushashi's "Book of Five Rings" is very interesting as well.

The last two books I've listed here can probably be found online simply by going to google. Free is sometimes a good thing...

I can get every single one of those books listed online, i just dont know how i feel about reading the entire "art of war" online. Free yes but in the long run im going to kill my eyes. I checked my lib and they have a few books listed. I would like to own then but i dont know if id read them again. Or if they would just end up in my own personal lib.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If you can get them m8 then flick then over to me aswell Ive searched high and low for some of them and dorks aroudn this place dont stock them much, its a true pain.

Also if its a ebook you can get it printed for really really cheap, I bought 48 laws of power for real cheap online and just had the file printed out at a printing store only cost like 15 bucks and it was in good quality.

A lot of e-books (& regular books) have audio counterparts or similiar material on audio...so seek those out, but u get used to e-books after a while...

I've been reading The Emperor's Handbook by Marcus Aurelius and it's definitely a great insight into his mind and Stoicism. It's along the lines of the 48 Laws Of Power, but more direct and extreme.

Yeah you cant print thos books at a printshop, have them print the pages front and back and its just like a real book.
 

"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.

it's a shorter book, some great messages about frame of mind and making the most of what's in front of you.
