"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I remember Roissy, had a post about how the Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher marriage and how it would fail. I thought for sure it he would of written something about it since their current woes validated his prediction.

And add the Roissy.wordpress.com being taken down vs heartiste.wordpress.com, which I found weird, that usually happens when wordpress bans a blog.

Does anyone here (Rollo?) know roissy, A small part of me thinks that there is something fishy going on there.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

He predicted that a celebrity marriage would end in divorce?
Wow, the guy must be a psychic.
:rolleyes:

Roissy is a master both with the word and the subject...not sure who Heartiste is but I have stopped reading as the quality has gone.
 

"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.

Roissy/heartiste seems like he really used to enjoy himself and his life a few years ago. Now he just sounds kind of like an old curmudgeon, upset about loose women and immigrants.

Roissy's writing was probably the best I've ever read. He may be Heartiste but a different person is writing the new stuff....

Dear Window,
"Roissy's writing was probably the best I've ever read. He may be Heartiste but a different person is writing the new stuff".......I agree,Roissy at his best is inspired....just as the British could identify a Morse code operator in the last War by his or her touch,surely we can identify articles on Heartiste as being sometimes the genuine article but many times the work of an understudy..

"Nearly two years ago, the original Chateau host predicted that Ashton Kutcher was cheating on his cougar love, Demi:" ???

original host?
 

"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.

Perhaps it seems like the writing has gone downhill because after his first couple of revelatory years, there are only so many other ways he can drive home the same points. His initial couple of years were genius. Lately it's been a lot of political nonsense, complaining about feminism (which I understand but it's like preaching to the choir for me), articles about how "science keeps proving him right," etc. Maybe I already agree with him enough that it's laborious to read because I'm not a recovering AFC. Still, the blog has done a huge service for the community and tells a lot of unpleasant truths, which I salute.
You can pretty much say the same thing about the early years of sosuave, guys like Anti-Dump, Pook & Senor Fingers were giants in terms of their insight. Even Pook himself started out as an inspiring DJ who later on gone deeper into a more negative tone with his assessment of the matriarchy.

When it comes to understanding women, the more knoweldge you seek about them the more you are going to find out that you are not going to like.

Roissy had a good quote: "If love is a little white lie, then I don't want to know the truth"

On somethings it may be good to stay in the dark, taking the red pill won't bring you happiness but reality.

Heartiste is Roissy, you'll just have to trust me on that.

And he did do a follow up on the Kutcher / Moore breakup:
http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/another-cougar-bites-the-dust/
But who is Roissy?

In one of his old Roissy posts ( I believe either early 2011 or 2010) he actually implied there were different writers and the people commenting asked him about it and he never answered them.

In several other posts he did the same thing by implying the writer has indeed changed.

One of the inherent dangers of becoming the go-to guy on Game or anything that rubs the feminine defined reality the wrong way is that you paint a pretty big target on yourself. Literally and figuratively.

I'm not a proponent of Roissy's politics, but I definitively co-sign with his perspective on intergender relations. Now, which of these stances earns him the most vitriol? His writings about gender; that's how important it is to defend the feminine imperative for the masses of online feminists and manginas. They can ignore his political screeds as just some right-wing crank, but they become so irate with his perspective intergender dynamics that they seek to do him personal and professional harm.

If you've noticed a change in Roissy's writing style, it's primarily due to having had to deal with 'real life' threats intended to destroy him personally to the point he's had to change his online monicker (Heartiste). You are only as anonymous online as your opinions make you nondescript. Piss off the wrong aspergers troll or Jezebel fanatic and they will hunt you down digitally. I'm becoming more aware of this as my own blog becomes more popular. Guy's writing in the manosphere put their lives and reputations at risk to do so.

I see this also as a testament to how important and relevant the message is. If it weren't, no one would care.

I think there was a time where he literally went undercover - and there were some guest writers - and most of them were crap. The old Roissy style seems to be back now though, so maybe he is again doing all the writing.
 

"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.

That actually makes the most sense. He has a style that is very hard to imitate. I would have a hard time believing that a whole crew of writers could write in that style, along with his witty rejoinders in the comments section.

I guess it's impossible to know for sure, unless you know him personally. But the main thing is that the quality is back and he seems to still be having fun with it.

Same guy, but I think he writes now mostly for the attention, rather than because he's inspired, if you know what I mean. About a year ago I sat down for a couple of days and read every single one of his posts.

I wrote a whole thread about this:

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=189567

As for who actually writes the blog, it's several people. A couple of entries make reference to there having been other writers. Whether it gets handed down to new people over years, or if it's an amalgam of different people making submissions I don't know. Also, wordpress didn't do anything to the blog, whoever owns it just changed the name. If you replace roissy with heartiste in all the old url's, you'll get the original article.

Only problem with Tomasis's is I think the guy is married. That's like asking a prisoner the best way to avoid being caught ;)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
