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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
