"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.

L+S+G= W

Looks + Social Proof + Game = Women

Rate yourself in each area and prioritize where you should be focusing your improvement efforts. I guarantee you that if you are above average in each category you will pull ~50% of chicks out there.

Obviously my formula is subjective and a bit vague, but a good point of reference if you are in a slump and have no idea why you aren't attracting women.

If you have no clue where you stand in each 3 areas, establish some benchmarks:

For looks, ask your friends and random people (preferably girls) to objectively rate you and take the average.

For social proof, I would count the number of qualityfriends you hang out with at least once a month. (no fat, video-game playing losers)

Game can be measured by success rate of sarging. i.e. ratio of numbers/approaches, dates/numbers, f*cks/dates, or whatever based on your goals.

You can create your own metrics you wish to work with, and get as granular as you want, but this gives you a general starting point on the path to becoming the MAN (not that stupid new Samuel L. Jackson movie)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

personal game is missing? Self-improvement has so much more to do with improving yourself in every aspect of your life. It is important that you do this. Otherwise women just prove as validation and that isn't self-improvement, that is AFC-ism in reverse.

Improve yourself before improving your stable of women. Better for you to do this because it is much easier. 75% of women you will be able to pickup if you improve yourself.

Either lower your standards or up your standards inside yourself. I chose the latter instead of the former. What will you choose?

That didn't make much sense, but here's my response:

Are you saying I am missing "inner game"? Game in this little formula includes inner game. Going out and meeting women, gettting numbers/dates, etc... gives you the confidence to be comfortable in any situation, which allows you to control your emotions better.

What I mean is that you need to improve yourself, not just with women, but in every aspect of your life. You should become a much better and more rounded individual. When you do this, you will gain confidence in many other areas of your life. If you improve just on women alone then it will not get you anything but women. Women will eventually dry up but you are forever. Don't forget that.
 

"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.
