"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.

Hey guys,

so, I can't seem to attract girls, or i always seem to lose the attraction. Usually things start off well with a girl, but in every situation they always lose interest, and i get the feeling i just annoy them, or whatever.
It is horribly frustrating. How can I found out what I am doing wrong?

thanks :)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

well, i'm 20 years old, a third-year archaeology student, i work part-time in a supermarket in the fresh goods section. i am an enthusiastic person, and i basically go around doing whatever i like (i often get called interesting, or weird, but in a good way). i like talking about tons of things, and can go on about a subject for hours. I can sometimes be a little bit withdrawn, or a bit daydreamy, like when i've got my music on.

well, as for looks, here's a pic: http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/6826/img2722o.jpg
I also work out regularly (cardio every morning, chest exercises in the afternoon) both to feel and be healthy, and of course to look good.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Girls lose interest after a little while if the dynamic is tipped too much in their favour, i.e. you are trying too hard to impress them. Also you should take things up a notch ASAP, however you are most comfortable doing it, be it through real life or through a phonecall, or through a screen with words on it.

Looks are ok. Generally if your looks are not HORRIBLE then you can get some.

You say things start off well, so you passed the looks test already. Rest is about mindset I would say... read some of the stuff flying around here.
"I can't attract girls" is not very specific, and it's what everybody says when they get here ;)

If you have no idea, then read some material on how attraction works. Book of Pook is good. It's the perfect newbie reading. Also Senor Fingers is good. Once you know recognize what went wrong you can start working on it.

Bout the looks: you can definitely make it more clean, you look kind of unkempt, maybe shave off the stubble. Stubbly really only looks good if it's short and dense, not long and sparse. As undergraduate student you can get away with messy hair, but in the long run you might think about it ;)
But it's not THAT bad. If you feel self conscious about it, change, otherwise keep it.

Better work on your mind.

what's wrong with being single man? You can date multiple women at once and it's not a big deal! haha. You just gotta chat up some girls at your school and before you know it you'll be able to get multiple dates per week. Trust me dude, i've been down the path of feeling sorry for myself and all that bull.. Didn't go on one date for a year and a half or get any action whatsoever, but I read a lot on this site and in such a short time (maybe 2 months) I've all ready been talking to multiple girls at once. It's all in the attitude just be confident and collected. And definitely read all the DJ bible has to offer!
