I just dont understand how some people think they lives are so interesting that they constantly update their "status" on their Facebook accounts. For example: "Ashley is cleaning her bathroom" or "Bob is tired from an exhausting day at work" Who gives a PHUCK. People don't care. Your life is not that interesting. Thank you for reading my rant.
"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.
Some people on facebook...

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
The reason networking sites are so popular is because it feeds the ego. Think of it, email is a perfectly good way to stay in touch with friends or whatever...
Yet networking sites allow you to create a page of your own that screams "look at me! I'm so special!" or "look at all the friends I have, I'm so popular!"
It's like tv sitcoms. Character A comes over and says "I have this dating problem or that dating problem. Can you believe he or she said this to me?" and Character A's friends sit around and discuss it as if it's soooo important.
Life isn't really like that. People would like to believe that their life is the center of attention but it isn't. The truth is people only give a rats azz about your problems if they relate to themselves in some way.
Facebook is just another way of saying "look at me, I'm important. Even the least little bit of meaningless crap I do I want EVERYONE to know about".

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's fun in the beginning until it turns into an obsession, I mean I dont have one and detest all those type of bvll**** sites (They are a big ass time waster hell they are worse then video games) but come on people that have them check that damn thing maybe once every damn hour.
Hell I see it all the time, they have to check it for this or for that then stay on for 2 hours just to check what everyone is doing then the cycle repeats....its sad.
^^^ I wouldn't say it's a complete time waster. Many a guy has gotten laid from girls he met on a social networking site. They have their use and can be a fun way just to keep in touch with people you don't normally talk to on any regular basis and see how their lives are going. I put up music on mine, some of my photography and other interests. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I'll mess with the status. I did today because I was fuming that I lost my favorite watch today at the airport while rushing through security. Sometimes rather than tell all your friends individually about about something that got under your skin, you can tell them all at once by posting a status. Yeah, but I do think people go overboard with "Jane is washing the dishes right now" type crap. Who really cares. It's just attention-wh0ring at its worse. And from what I understand, that site twitter.com is nothing but a social network site based on status updates and that's it...yeesh.

Do any of you get drunk and go hoggin'?
I never trust my taste in women when I'm drunk at the bar. If I get a girl's number and have an interest in seeing her again, I always get her Facebook before committing to anything. I can't be taking any skeezas out on dates.

"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.

I'm gonna leave you guys with a quote to think about for a while:
"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent" War Against Betaism

What amazes me is that you can comment the status of people, it is no surprise that the popular women I have on facebook get like 10 comments for every status they make. Like recently this girl said something like "Is going out for lunch." Then I looked at the comments and 8 of them were from guys saying AFC stuff like "You should definitely go out to lunch with me sometime " among other things.
I must admit though that when I'm bored I find things like this pretty interesting, it really tells me a lot about the woman as well as the guys commenting her.

I agree. It's cool to change your comment if it's something funny. There are times people will change their comment to something that has me laughing my ass off, but that's usually not the case. Most people just do it as a way of looking alive and active. Then you have the real attention wh0res that have to change their status for every damn minute detail of their life. I have a couple "popular" girls on my facebook too, the types with 500 "friends" where all they have to do is type, "bada boom bada bing!" and they'll get all these responses from people.War Against Betaism said:What amazes me is that you can comment the status of people, it is no surprise that the popular women I have on facebook get like 10 comments for every status they make.

i agree totally, since fb females alter ego has blown out the roof..in my opinion..
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
