"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.

"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.

have her pay herself. youll be slotted into afc status by paying for prom every body gonna pay for themselves ITS PROM FOR goodness SAKE.
 

"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.

No. No. NO!

HandyAndy is right. The guy DOES have to pay for the girl, unless your school is free. You don't have to pay for the dress though...thats WBAFC...borderline milk-toast

Prom itself is a very romanticized, idealized, pseudo-"party-date"

Do you know why it becomes a huge popularity contest between females, and (quite pathetically) it is often the highlight of a stupid high school broad's lifetime?

The whole thing is constructed around putting the girl, the prom-date, on a pedestal. The girls put on the best looking dress they will ever wear in their entire life with the exception of them being a model or a wedding dress, they spend literally hours making themselves look great, all to get their male prom date to be a "gentleman."

This sh(i)t would be perfect! ....if we were in the 1600s....Blame feminism.

With that being said, alot of guys are LJBFriended the moment they step into the prom venue. Most guys at my school take girls they are just "friends" with anyways.

Thus the whole idea of "prom" is AFC. When guys ask girls to prom, unless they've been in a relationship beforehand (and this often isn't the case..at least from my experience). You naturally become slotted as an AFC anyways going to prom.

It doesn't mean you can escalate. You can release your inner-DJ and bypass the initial AFC parts of prom. (Thats how a few guys get "lucky" during prom).

Also, this doesn't mean you can't have fun with a girl at prom of course. If possible though, find some way to make her pay for her own way in, even though its against the "etiquette"

If it's just some girl you asked to go with you and it doesn't really mean much than make her pay.. but if you asked someone you actually like and want more than just the dance and whatnot then I would probably pay.

My girlfriend will be buying both our tickets and her dress. I'll be buying the liquor and have already purchased my suit (fresh as hell, I could run for congress in this thing).

Guy pays unless your just friends and discussed it ahead of time...

Proms are way to expensive and a waste of time in my opinion. Though I am DJ'ing about ten of them this season.

I hated my prom. My tux was nice though... R.L. Polo

Ended up staying half way through one song then left for the beach...

Our tickets were free though since I helped with the construction

If it's a genuine date, be a gentlemen and pay up.

If you just grabbed your nearest, also-single friend, she pays.
 

"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.

Why would you pay $100 for a girl you might not even see again after prom? Its not 'prom etiquette' at all, she would be grateful if you pay, but it won't make her like you anymore, and she won't like you anyless if you don't pay. Save your money.

Pay for the girl for prom. It's traditional and it's classy.

It IS proper etiquette if it's a real date and not a friendly thing.
