"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.

Shark Basic Playboy CD: genius or rip off?

I'm listening to a CD called Shark Basic Playboy for a second time now. To be honest, I couldn't get past Shark's thick (Portuguse?) accent the first time 'round and found myself LMAO on many occasions during my first listen.

After thinking about what Shark has said, in retrospect, it looks like he is advocating using a direct approach at bars and especially at clubs. Has anyone listened to this CD and tried using any of Shark's openers? Here are some of them:

'I like you girls and I would like to get to know you.'
'You're beautiful, and I would like to get to know you.'
'If you look at me like that, then you can also....TALK to me.' (This opener is supposed to be used after a SOI/IOI).

I'm tired of using indirect approaches, and have no time to use them during the day anyway when they are most useful so Sharks' approach is attractive to me. However, I don't want to look like a jackazz going around using canned openers that everyone has used which all of the HB's have heard. Any experience (successful or unsuccessful) using the Shark CD? Respond.
 

"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.

The direct approach does work, but you have to be entirely congruent and make sure it's clear that you are still qualifying them, and that they don't automatically win you ust because of their looks. It's like you are acknowledging that they are hot, so you can get it out of the way and see if they are cool chicks too, which means they have to prove to you they are as nice as they look.

To use the direct approach, absolutely everything about you must say that you do this all the time, get heaps of chicks, will walk away if they are boring or *****y, etc. Essentially you have to be a DJ and look the part. Then it can work great.

you should be direct just dont be sleazy. if your confident you can pull it off. if your shy and indirect then your waiting on the girl to make the move which most likley wont happen. not heard sharks cd where can i get it from?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
