"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.

I watch 2-3 porn movies everyday. Even if I do my homework I turn some porn video on just for fun.

Does anybody here have the same problem? Or does anybody know how to quit?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I used to have the same problem as you. I think you should treat serouisly because it is real addiction and it will affect your life. When I was trying to quit I found it to be really difficult, and I had many relapses, but I stuck with it and now I have it under control. Here is what I did....

I every day that Im clean, I write it the date down on a MS word file, and the days that I relapse I highlight it in red. I think u should get it of the "streak" mentality where you count the number of consective days. Instead do what I did and records days as clean or not clean. Its hard at first to let go completely, so start out slow. Stop watching for one day of the week, tell urself for this one day of the week im clean, and I can watch it as much as I want on the other days. After a couple of weeks make it two days, then three and so on. Keep at it, dont worry if u relapse, it will take time.

Fo sho. When you get laid, porn gets boring.
 

"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.

A girlfriend is an effective cure. :D
Not always because some porn starlets look absolutely flawless (Sara Jean Underwood 2007 PMOY for example) and your gfs usually don't so you choose to jack off to porn instead of being physical with your gf.

A little help

Something that always got me when I was trying to not look at porn was ads online that had a sexy lady in them. I was on myspace a lot then and it was the True ads. Adblock for Firefox is really cool in that you can block any kind of ad or picture you want. It doesn't work extremely well as a filter though because it's so easy to turn off. But it may help by not planting as many seeds.

Your mentality seems to be different than mine though. Do you feel really guilty after you watch it, I don't feel guilty after just watching a tv show, and it sounds like it's a similar thing to do, like listening to music.

What I'm getting at is I think that maybe, making a strong decision that you don't want to watch porn all the time will help tons.

Also, for a while I did written affirmations, it worked very well, until I got lazy, or complacent and stopped.

Example: I kabatura, will not look at porn ever again

I think I did it 14 times. There' a lot of different ideas around on how many times to do this and I'm not sure if it matters.
 

"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.
