"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.

PK has been gone for a while. One time I PM him almost exactly a year ago about my first plate post-divorce that had been giving me a ton of hot/cold signals in and out of the bedroom. I allowed my ex-wife to strip away my confidence and self-esteem after many years. I was a shell of a man. I had to learn to gain back my all the self-respect I had given up. I didn't know how to steer the ship in the direction I wanted to. I lost frame quick and subsequently, my plate jumped to another branch during my confusion.

That said, here's some of the advice he shared that I wanted to pass on to you guys:

- Women can sense insecurity and neediness in men and it scares them away.
- Women don't want to be your security blanket or therapist.
- A woman's job is to please a man sexually, not the other way around.
- Caring too much of how a woman thinks of you is very unattractive to women.
- The mindset needs to be: "This is who I am and this is what I want.. take it or leave it".
- You should always be bringing women into YOUR world... not going into theirs.
- There is ALWAYS time to spin plates (a reference to my crazy work/school schedule).

One of the central themes of PK's posts was he always redirecting us men to reframe

Think of all the negs, sh!t tests, hot/cold signals, flakiness, radio silence, breadcrumbs as offenses to the man. Almost always Indicators of disIinterest.

A man with abundance or high value doesn't sit there and over-analyze every single little detail. He guides and leads the behavior and rewards her with attention and affection when warranted. However, he can just as much withdraw it if she starts acting up consistently and disrespecting him.

After repeated warnings, he may bump her down from main plate status or drop plate altogether.
 

"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.

Very well stated. Men must lead all the time. Always have game and take things to new
Levels.

I'm convinced that you want the women to do the 'chasing'.

You must first put yourself out there, and then respond in kind when she shows interest. She is the moth to your flame.

The lazy man's guide to women.

I've found this 'cool hand Luke' approach generates more attraction in the women. Also, I do not get over-invested or needy. It's like I am standing in an open posture [and on the shoulders of giants], and it is for the women to move toward me. This is leading, but not me chasing.

As for developing 'feelings'. I think there is a lot of confusion about this. I draw a distinction between emotion and feelings, with feelings the negative and emotion the positive. At some point, that is with a relationship, you want to develop emotion/ intimacy... this has been earned by a process of courtship. 'Feelings', which tend to fly away unrestrained by you, are to be avoided.

There is a base and a super-structure to close encounters of the womanly kind. The super-structural element is a relationship. If that is what you desire from a women, it may require a different base to the standard DJ approach to sleep with a woman as quickly as you can. A steady, constructive, catch the monkey slowly, approach is better for building a relationship [bedding a woman as quickly as you can may short-circuit the emotional/ courtship base required for a relationship].

So the screening process is extremely important:

1] Can I be bothered with this woman?
2] What do I want from this woman.. if anything?
3] Your approach to all women requires a 'goldilocks zone' - not too hot, not too cold... just right. This will differ from woman to woman.

My ex is npd and admits to being a control freak, i am a natural leader (3 sisters, elite athlete, raised a kid on my own, carried the family when my dad passed) so we naturally clashed. What got me even tho she is a control freak she naturally did better when i lead and she always came to me for about every advice possible in life, yet was unhappy and caused fights when she didnt control everything.

This was absolutely exhausting and confusing.

Now she's single and i dont see her ever having anyone. Seriously not being mean or spiteful i dont know how anyone would deal w her as she gets worse w time
 

"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.

Gold plated post,and solid advice.
 

"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.
