Master Don Juan
Ordered 5 copies for myself & close friends+relatives.
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.

That's what I'm wondering. Is this a book mainly about seduction and the male/female dynamic, or are there other topics as well?Colossus said:It's a compendium of all his theories and game tenets.
Me too buddy. There is nothing new under the manosphere sun. I struggle with updating my own blog more than once a month---I just don't have any real new or compelling observations to write about. You reach a certain point where you are just saturated with the material. Even the big bloggers like Heartiste, Roosh, and the Spearhead crew are just repackaging common knowledge, or stooping to petty sociopolitical commentary. There are enough of those blogs in the world.samspade said:I am actually burned out on "Manosphere" material. I've read so much it's just constant nodding in agreement for me at this point. I tried writing my own blog and realized I have nothing to add that's original, at least now.
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.
Can I get this through Amazon?zekko said:Certainly less embarassing than having something like "How to Get Laid, for Losers" on your bookshelf, lol.
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.
I like discussing this type of thing with women. It's fun.zekko said:I'm not sure why I would want to discuss its contents with a woman
Good point, a lot of these pickup method books and videos are priced like they're made of gold or something. All of them claim to hold the "secret", and yet they all seem to contain basically the same material, with a few minor tweaks. 10 bucks is very reasonable.hockeyfreak79 said:Still can't believe this was only 10 bucks! Just the content and introduction has me hooked already.
SMH and to think 13-14 years ago I spent 100 on the system....Bahaha
I'd love to see a transcript of that conversationPeaks&Valleys said:I like discussing this type of thing with women. It's fun.

Mostly run-on manosphere manure, October 26, 2013
By Matthew E. Lockwood "Matt reads" (KC,MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I like some of the new men's movement books out there, such as 'No More Mr Nice Guy' and 'Married Man Sex Life Primer'. I think Rollo Tomassi's book takes it too far.
I dont necessarily believe in the feminist imperative: Women arent, as a whole, Hypergamous. I just dont see it. Of course, a Rollo Tomassi cool-aid drinker will write that I feel this way because the feminists have me duped. Ok.
Also, this book is written for the single man, so it doesnt apply to the entire manosphere. I feel his theory is that if you are married, you obviously didnt read his book or blog, or take his advice.
The book is one long run-on sentence, not well formatted.
A couple valid points about the role of men in our society today, but mostly just theoretical drivel.
Women have to parade around the internet these days under male names. They do this because they know nobody will take them seriously otherwise. Just look how many women come here pretending to be men? I bet it's more than we realize. Why don't you see men posing as women on Loveshack?samspade said:He didn't even really review the book. That's Amazon reviews for you. Plus as the commenter on the review mentioned, Rollo's married.
I would only add that feminists don't have the guy duped; most men dupe themselves.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
That was a GOAT book. that book did more for me in 2 weeks than this site had done in 2 years back in 2004.samspade said:That's funny - I had "How to Succeed with Women" (Louis & Copeland) back in the day. WAY back in the day. I always had to hide it somewhere in my room. I eventually got rid of it...that book was got outdated really fast and some of its game tactics were sappy and lame.
It absolutely was a GEM and I agree with you 100%backbreaker said:That was a GOAT book. that book did more for me in 2 weeks than this site had done in 2 years back in 2004.
