"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?
 

"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.

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
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
 

"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.

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.
