Master Don Juan
STFU, and just eat the damned pizza. What, are you going to throw it away to spite the messenger?KarmaSutra said:It's not that the pizza isn't great, it's that the DELIVERY sucks.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
Yes sir, I just might toss it if it leaves a sh1tty taste in my mouth afterwards.iqqi said:STFU, and just eat the damned pizza. What, are you going to throw it away to spite the messenger?![]()
Ah no iqqi.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?
I thought women were supposed to be the emotional ones.
It is a general belief in society that verbal eloquence correlates to mental prowess, and vice versa.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?

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.
actually, the way he presented his views was kind of womanly - ie. over emotional and insulting. his post left no room for discussion, if you didn't agree with him you basically had no choice but ot engage in a battle of words because that is the frame he set.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery.

"It's not that you can't think straight without good grammar, it's that the same mental skill set leads to both clear thinking and clear speaking. Any person who consistently thinks clearly and correctly will just naturally speak, write, sketch, diagram, and code clearly and correctly, without making a separate effort to do so. Poorly written memos and instructions carry this subtext: I am omnipotent and my time and energy is golden; you are slime and your time and energy is of no account; therefore I will minimize the effort I put into making my utterances, leaving them only as complete and meaningful as my whim dictates; you will compensate by spending as much of your life and substance as required to make sense of these pearls; and woe betide you if you fail."
Ah yes. The school of thought that taking lumps gratefully and never complaining makes you a man.iqqi said:I don't understand why some of you are all so sensitive about D&B's delivery. That's kind of... womanly?![]()
How much of this forum revolves around the discussion of various methods though? Very little. There is the odd basic question, but there is less discussion regarding "game" (Man I hate that ****) and more discussion regarding psycology, culture, certain situations and life improvement. I have been lurking here for about 4 years now, posting here and there. It just offers more then something like the Mystery Method forums. I have no interest in becoming a PUA extrodanaire. Its a lifestyle Im not keen on being a little more conservative.Luveno said:Drum&Bass does make a good point in this post.
Nobody can disagree that although picking up women is the major focus of this website, having interests and desires outside of women is very important for one to live a well-balanced, fulfilling lifestyle.
...not to mention that women are not the major focus of a true Don Juan. The DJ Bible emphasizes this point numerous times.
Although, Drum&Bass, you should perhaps start to write posts in a more organized, conventional manner. Much of what you say gets scoffed at instantly just because of the poor grammar and numerous colloquialisms you use.
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.
