"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 overheard something about this book months ago on this forum...

fast forword to last night/this morning... when i realized, in a 7X-prescribed-daily-dose amphetamine-induced, ZOMBI-like state -- that something's gotta change. And it's gotta change now.

I googled that book, read a few beginning pages, and it blew my mind - like nothing i read/seen before. And i wasn't high or anything, cuz i ran out of that $hit last night (if your wondering).

I didn't even order the book, I just got into my car and went to the store instantly and bought it. Havent read much further yet, but I'll read it slowly to make sure i really digest the information and let it sink in..

Discuss the book anyone?
 

"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.

I think it's one of the best books I've ever read.
It is truly one of the most influential books I have read.
There's a lot of deeply changing insight in that book.

I highly recommend it.

I have it and recently got a smaller book called 'practising the power of now' which is a shorter version.

It thought me about how the ego operates and how to observe the ego etc. Also accepting things and resisting things only gives it more energy etc..

Eckhart Tolle has a new book out but I've yet to read that.

I bought this book over four years ago and still have yet to read it. I think I tried starting a couple times but something inside me say "this is just bullsh*t" and put the book down. I need to pull it out of my closet and give it another shot.

"Power of Now"

I think thats the summary of the whole book right there, I refuse to read it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is an incredible book that has changed my overall outlook on life for the better....if you follow it up with A New Earth, also by Eckhart Tolle. It could very well take your inner game up to a whole new level....
