"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.

Where ever I am at the moment
Bascially I became the person I wanted and the DJ I wanted to be a few months back. Ended up with some girl, but s*** turned sour and I ended up wasting six months of my life it feels like. Now I feel lost, insecure, and really unsure of myself and who I am now. I want to be that person again, but it seems like part of myself is stopping me. Idk. I just need some advice from anyone who felt like this and was able to get above it. Here's some information about myself. Starting second semister of first year of college, good looking, can be social and all that stuff but don't feel the motivation to, want to but then feel unsure of myself. Idk what to do anymore. So I figure might as well as ask for some advice. Thanks.
 

"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.

now is maybe the time you would rather sit at home and get real good at world of warcraft.. but thats like consoling yourself with the bottle.. you need to stay out there socializing and doing your thing.... good things will slowly happen - it will be hard at first but like a snowball it will get bigger and bigger faster and faster.. work hard now and in a month you will be back in your "game"

some things to do are to take up a sport-- start working out whatever... maybe even studying up on a foreign language.

Your security and confidence is based on having a girl -- this is a no no!!! Have a greater purpose in life!!

I agree as well,i was in that same situation.. i let a one itis dominate my life for 4 months,till the point my friends thought i was depressed.. i found a passion,a particular hobbie,and devoted myself to it.. and a year later,im a different person.. and im going places.

you need to find a passion or a role model or an inspiration to do something in life,whatever you wanna do... think about you and nothing but you.
 

"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.

Thanks. Feels like I've really been letting myself down in life. Got to step up. Seems like I spend so much time wondering what the problem is and how I got there when I should really focus on fixing the problem and moving on. Kind of always been a problem of mine dwelling on the past mistakes and judging myself too hard. I know that's what keeps me from achieving that status I had. The real problem is not that I can't do the stuff, it's weird. In my head part if me feels like I was great, but I went and ****ed it up, and I can never achieve that level again. Guess I just have to suck it up, remind myself who I really am, and just do it.

i feel ya brother. I got out of a 3 year relationship that ended pretty badly, back in August. It took me a month or so to get out of the slump, but now ive got a list of girls, and things are getting better by the day. When you start to think about the girl you were with, think about the bad parts of the relationship and how you didnt need that crap in your life, and how youll find a better girl the next go around. Thats what i had to do to finally get out of the slump and get back out there.
And the other guys are right. Dont base your confidence level off how many girls you have in your life, base it off everything else in your life. Your carrer, your accomplishments, etc. The girls will fall in place when your confident the rest of your life is working for you. And in the mean time, go to a bowling alley and get some numbers.
