"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.

I'm about sick of reading all these "macho" posts about letting her pay for dinner. About not paying for her time, etc. etc. Get real. A women is going to think you're a dork if you make her pay for the date and probably won't call you back You're the man, you fork over the cash, and in turn she gives you action (if you play your cards right).

And I doubt most even have the balls to not pay. So quit with the fairytales.

I swear, everything is ass backwards on this site.
 

"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.

Do it occasionally so that it actually means something.

If you do it all the time you have more money then brains.

full moon (sounds romantic by the way) you do what you do and I'll do what I do. paying for dinner isn't a trade off for sex, and most women know this. I'll do it my way go and "hang out" keep my cash, keep it laid back and chill and I'll push up on her anyways!
 

"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.

In my opinion if you agree to go out, as the guy and as a decent human being you should offer to take the check. If girl is decent she'll either be into you or if she's not she'll offer to help. If she's not decent see "if you agree to go" above.

Simple.

PS - Can Cingular block specific text message sources? I think an EX or some friend of an EX is spamming me. Or my enormous p3nis has attracted a random slut. Make it STOP! :eek:

If you invite her for dinner then it's proper for you to pay. This is about having class, and it equally would apply to her if she invited you out.

This doesn't mean that you should take girls to dinner, just that if you happen to, then be prepared to pay. But just know that it's preferred to not put yourself in that position when there are better alternatives like meeting for drinks.

Men volunteering to pay for dinner/a ticket/whatever is fine. It demonstrates that the man is a gentleman.

Women expecting a man to pay for dinner/a ticket/whatever isn't okay, unless this was previously agreed upon by both parties. It's a sign of disrespect towards the man. Similarly, a man shouldn't expect a woman to pay unless they agree on it beforehand.

So here's a question to all of you guys who invite women to dinner, do you guys have anything else that you could do that isn't focused around some event? How often do you do things with these women that involve the two of you, one on one, without having something else to entertain you?

My theory is that the majority of these guys follow the old, antiquated, cliche like rules of chivalry because it's within their realm of comfort even though it defies logic. These are the same guys who become frustrated that after three dates (another cliche) they haven't gotten anywhere with the woman. Is their frustration because since they've paid for something they naturally expect something in return?

Here's another thing to consider, given the idea that whoever asks pays, how often are these guys asked out by women? Of the times they are asked, how often does the women pay? I'm guessing that the few times (if any) that these guys are asked out, they still get the check. I'm guessing it's in their societal programmed nature and they can't do anything else.

It's just a theory but it does seem that these guys follow the majority of the rules that are typically challenged by guys who are comfortable bucking the system. The funny thing is that most of the rules that these guys follow can be found in this book "The Rules."
 

"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.

Full moon I can tell you really don't have a understanding of how all this works so...

first of don't get me wrong there isn't nothing really wrong with Paying for dinner but then there isn't nothing right about it either. It really depends on where you're coming from.

Like you mentioned most guys are only paying because they think they'll get some ACTION. That is total BS because money has nothing to do with you getting laid. Another thing is most guys are doing this from a position of supplication, because there only doing it to try and get some ass. You want to know how you know you're supplicating? Ask yourself and be HONEST.

Would you take your guy friend out to dinner and pay for everything?

With that said if you're a high value guy and he is in his own reality the whole paying BS isn't even a question. The girl will pay because she WANTs your validation. You're high value and she knows if she screws up you could leave her and so she will pay for a lot of things as a way of satisfying you. (I knew a guy who his gf gave him 200 dollars a week)

Now when I go out to eat I either do the following:
- 50/50
- Compromise (Ex. She drives the all the venues and I pay for the night expenses)
- She pays for everything

In the case of the dinner crap it's rare that pay for the girl's dinner. Why? because going out to eat is something I actually love and I'm not going out for dinner as a way to fuk her. I'm going out because I love food and since I'm going to eat I ask if they want to tag along and try a dish they've never tasted before. Heck they can bring there friends too if they want. She isn't the focus of the night...the food is. The girl's can sense this and they never think of this as the typical bf/gf dating frame because it surely isn't.

There were times I've bought food for women though but it's not supplicating because I do the same thing with all my friends and the women know and see this. Other times I'd just do it once in awhile because I know they've bought me something in the past.

Hey guy's, we've got another one with post envy! Gotta love it when then can't spar intellectually and they have to stoop to this. The funny thing is that they are still lacking when they do! :crackup:

We'll be looking forward to your "Size/Looks Matters" post Mr. Zero!

You obviously get it but you're describing a reality that's well beyond the comprehension of a lot of guys.

How about don't take her out to dinner if you are not ready to pay. Why would any of you chumps take women to dinner on dates. The only dinner you need to be on when dating is the one she's gonna be cooking for you, and you having her as dessert after.
 

"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.

You're 39 and unmarried. I'm just warning guys who they take advice from.
...You do know there are guys in this community who are 50+? I've actually learned from some of there lay reports.

Age doesn't mean sh!t
Marraige comes down to the person, whether thats for them or not. Honestly marraige isn't for me and marraige wouldn't fit well in my lifestyle so...I'll be 39 and unmarried.
