"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.

Merry Christmas everyone! Looking to jump start my game for 2017 (i've fallen off in the worst way). Any suggestions for reading material to start off with? Years ago I read several books/ebooks (which helped tremendously) and i'm looking to get back where I previously was. Would appreciate any advice that you guys can provide. Thanks in advance!


P.S I'm going start off with Pook's ebook... any other suggestions?
 

"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.

48 Laws of Power, The Hero With a Thousand Faces and Ego is the Enemy (Ryan Holiday). I haven't gotten to reading any of those yet but I managed to skim through "Ego is the Enemy" and it was a great read from what I collected. The other two books have had great reviews coming from other readers everywhere.

Models is good if you want to be more authentic. Lots of people mention the art of seduction.
I tried reading the way of the superior male but I hated it. A whole book of fortune cookie quotes.

All of Robert Greene's book

Think and Grow Rich

The way of the superior man

The Charisma Myth
 

"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.

Models and also the best experience is going out there and practicing what you've learnt.

The best form of practice is approaching and conversing with females in real life, that way you will further improve your skills and confidence.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Just reading pick up books is kind of lame. Read some classics to that stand the test of time:
Catcher in the Rye
To kill a Mockingbird
Lord of the Flies
Flowers for Algernon
Etc.

Catcher in the rye at Xmas you might end up topping yourself. I d suggest a couple that r even more foundational.

The will power instinct
The power of habit

Both r Science based examinations of how best to change your behaviour so u will not "...Drop way off" again. It's great that you're stepping back into the ring. A lot of people reflect and plan at this time of year and then backslide because they try and use willpower as their fuel instead of habit.
