"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Hey guys, I'll warn yall ahead of time, this is a very opinionated post. You might agree with some of the things I say, you might disagree with everything. Some may even be offended, but I'm not trolling. I'm just wondering what your opinions are on this....

This may start weird but you'll see what I'm getting at if you read the whole post. Chimpanzees, our closest relatives, have very defined, structured hierarchies in their social structure. You have the alpha male, the most dominant male of the group, who gets to breed with most of the females. Then the beta-male, who is second, usually physically weaker than the alpha-male, who gets to breed a little bit, but definitely not as much, and it gets to progressively inferior male chimps. This is inherent: the chimps know this, so often times the beta-male and other inferior males can group-up and overthrow the alpha-male, essentially securing the females for them, and kicking the alpha out. Thus in that group of chimps, the beta male becomes the alpha. But the kicked out alpha is still an alpha. He can go to a different group, start off inferior, and eventually his alpha-genes kick in and he becomes the dominant leader of the pack.

"Now LostAC, whats the point?!"
"Hold on, I'll get there, be patient."

In humans, this situation is very similar. However, we can't "overthrow" the alpha males, now can we? Its against our social creeds handed down through the generations. You can't just knock on the door of the guy who's nailing the hottest chicks and hold a civilians protest and kick him out of your town/city/state/nation/planet, can you?!

No! But we intelligent humans have the beta-males on top. The beta-males run everything. Of course they aren't always nailing the dimes, but they run it. In fact, some even dare to claim that religion was founded by humanities beta-males, in order to give hope to those who aren't born with a genetic-silver-spoon in their mouth (I disagree with this however)! Now how are the beta-males on top? Well, strength in numbers of course? Naturally, women are a limited source. Although there are probably 3.5 billion females on this planet right now, the female population that WE ALL WANT, is desired by a greater population of males. So yes, a select few (out of the billions out there) are nailing a large amount of the hottest chicks out there, leaving the rest of us to fight over the rest of the decent looking girls.

Sure, the HB10 might marry the beta-male, but she does it for his resources. While she is giving him the bare-minimum of sex he needs to get by (if any), she is thinking about the alpha male. The stereotypical "hot pool boy" who she cheats on her spouse with. But because of the vast majority of males being beta or even more inferior, many things out there are directed towards this majority.

The porn industry is a testament to this! Seriously, alpha-males don't need porn as much as the rest of the pack....why make love to your hand only watching hot babes go at it when you could be the one making love to the hot chicks? The alpha males are the guys fvcking the attractive girls IN those amateur pornos.

"Now thats all fair and good, but how do us Don Juans and PUAs fit into the picture?

Heres where I think DJs and PUAs are divided.

Some are natural alphas who perhaps just grew up in an environment where they were raised as an AFC. Perhaps they were the guy who stayed in his room all his high school life playing WoW and when he stumbles upon here, he learns seduction how to make himself attractive to women, and how to be a man. These are the success stories we love to here. After learning seduction, they release that inner-alpha and score with really attractive women. Neil Strauss and many other famous PUAs are probably this type of alpha-male-PUA.

Some are beta-males, who, in learning seduction, are able to put up a successful front that they are alpha-males to women. While they aren't necessarily natural alpha-males, they can successfully look like they are alpha's to women and score with attractive women as well.

But still, there are others, perhaps less than beta-males, the gamma-male if you will. This third class off PUA/DJ often goes ignored. IMO, Learning seduction just doesn't work for every guy. People like Strauss who sell seduction make sure this type of person gets ignored. They may get flamed here, they post up unsuccessful approaches where they thought they did the right thing but didn't close in any way, shape, or form. Their front, perhaps even false confidence, doesn't work well enough, and their inner inferiority shines through. Sure their seduction will finally work with a chick, but that chick will want more. She'll secretly want the alpha male. She will eventually flake on him and he gets one-itis and doesn't know what to do. Hell, they might even get married, but she'll be unsatisfied because all women want the alpha.



So what are your thoughts on this? I really think there is a class of aspiring DJs who leave here unsuccessful and ignored. Slightly depressing.:( Sure its easy to say that they were lacking confidence or those other main keys of seduction that are listed in TONS of articles here, but I think some just can't pull it off, no matter how consciously and unconsciously they force feed seduction into them.

Just putting up my fifty-cents though.
 

"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.

You're right, There are a lot of people who cant pull it off. Maybe you should also consider that some of those guys might have any form of disorder. They could have Asperger, or any other disorder that impairs social interaction. and it appears that the slightest problem is a big red flag for women so they cant really pull it off no matter what.

I think you might be giving alphas a bit too much credit, by my experiences and only about one in 10 or 15 guys is a true natural alpha, and even fewer of them are both alpha and naturally good with women. There is more of a learning curve than most people care to recognize. That being said I think this line of thought is on the right track.

"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 hex, I liked your post. Yeah, I've read both of Strauss's books, Mystery Method, the Gunwitch method, Bristol's lair, a couple of other seduction sites including some of Deangelo's stuff, ZenMack, and majority of the articles here.

You pretty much learn the same thing through all of that. Sure, they all have different openers and closers and little niches to get women, but they're selling the same main idea. And everyone has their "maximum" masculinity. What I'm trying to say here though, is that everyone has a different "peak", and some people just can't get women....so the seduction that people are making fortunes off of, and the seduction that you can learn here, will not work for everybody.

But as for defining alpha, wikipedia has a good example of it, however their example is lacking when it comes to humans. Its a short read, check it out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_male

But I'll go further on humans. Wikipedia says that in humans they are powerful people, but I don't think thats true. I think any man who can demand respect and possibly even fear from men and women alike or can learn how to do this are alpha males. Biologically speaking, only point of living is just to reproduce so even a guy who isn't well off can have alpha traits and can seize opportunities when they come and become rich. But I'll just keep it to seduction here. Have you read any articles from women about the type of men they want? Almost all of them mention a guy who "gets it." A guy who knows when the girl doesn't want him, a guy who knows exactly when to escalate, when not to escalate, and knows what girls want. And they can deliver. I think this is natural human instinct and it can't be learned, but rather, awakened (learning seduction would be like turning on a light bulb to those people). Those are alphas. One example would be the first guy you mentioned in your post, hex.

I just posted this to one of the yahoo groups on seduction that applies to this post.


No offense to the women here but when you break all of that psychology stuff down to it's bare essentials of what women want and look at the type of women we chase up in the clubs: The freak or ho...they only want 2 things:



1. A good looking man with a strong personality

2. A man with money or potential



Them freaks/ho's have a shelf life on them. They start expiring at age 29 and they know it. The younger models are coming out all the time. When given a choice them freaks and ho (not good girls) will choose #2.



They want to be able to land a man with money or potential so that they can relax from the struggles of life. I know the females up in here are gonna complain but I am not talking about the hard working intelligent women in the work force here whom are basically good girls. I am talking about those club rats that the fellas on here love to chase after cause they are the hottest things most of the time up in the clubs.



Those girls spend 12 hours a day on their cellies. Watch em when they are on a date and when that fool with them gets up and go to the bathroom. See if they don't get back on that thing and see who has called. Or even worse check it right in front of the fool they are out with.



When they start to expire they want to settle down with a man who either has ends (money) or has potential to make it.



I am sorry to the guys who live in a fairy tale existance of My Little Pony type of thing about women.



I have seen or heard so many women talk about how they blew their investment with me when they find out that I am not their prince charming to take them off to that castle so that they can mate with the gardner while I toil away my days earning.



I know this sounds crude and cold but women look at the facts with black or white seeing eyes. That means I have found that women make good business men in their attitudes towards dating.



They will sell a fool their contract before giving up the goods. That means that idiot accepts the foolishness of taking her behind out for 3-5 dates before she will let him stick his tongue in her mouth practically. She will (the freak or ho) have 3 other dudes on the hook she is working.



I am assuming that most of the guys here are in their late 20's and older by the conversation maturity level that I have witnessed. So most of you fellows are not hunting 19 year olds or wish you could but can't get into that game.



So the hottiest that your hunting have aged a bit if you can call 28 and older aged. But women know they have a shelf life on their goods. By the time most of them hit 29 they are about to lose their minds.



Have any of you seen a woman having her 30th birthday who is still single? Watch the depression that sets in most of the freaks and ho's after this reality check slaps em up side the head.



Their clocks are ticking. They must find a mate to settle down with if they haven't by age 27 after they have lived the wild life and did so many men that what is left will never be the same size again.



Again I do apolgize to the women up in here, but lets look at reality instead of fantasy. Lets take the red pill instead of the blue pill and fall back to sleep in the dating game.



Women want a man with money or potential to settle down with so that they can relax a bit in life. They want this man to be controll-able also. What is the use of marrying a powerful man who will only kick her behind every friday nite and cheat on her.

And this does apply to younger women also. Those hotties that you see up in the clubs want to settle down even before they expire their shelf life. Often way before so they can still get some use out of it.



This means they want beta type males who are the high bread winners out there in society. Not the alpha males. They are too much man for them. Those are the ones they were boning in their youth of 19 to 27. Those were often the badboy types that were cheating on them after they fell in love with him and broke their hearts like I used to be (hell the game neva dies).



I am not saying that all alpha males are bad boys either before one of you smart guys get started. They just have some of the alpha qualites that HOT women look for.



If this female cannot find a beta male who has potential or high earnings she will also settle for much less in the form of geeks and nerds who are earning or have potential to earn.



I have seen tv news segments on the net and read stupid articles stating exactly this about how women are going for geeks now. And sorry if this word offends a guy who lives in his fantasy world of my little pony also. I said lets take the red pill not the blue pill so I am only dealing in reality here. After this you can take that blue pill and go back to sleep.



When I was last in Vegas I was suprised at the number of silacon valley guys (computer nerds) with super hot wives on their arms. Anyone been there lately to see this. Now you will only see it in the shopping areas as those poor fools are drug around by hot females to shop on those heads money.



Again sorry for the reality blast but again I am dealing in reality not fantasy of a woman finding prince charming and settling down to work with him to achieve that white mansion and those 2.5 kids.



This is the fact that most women will not admit too. But when you open your eyes you will see it's truth.



So if you are over 28 and you want to date, work on your life. In the pimp game it's called it front and clout (no childish anti pimp comments thanks). Your front is what you show the world. This is the bait that you use. You use it by dressing well and looking good. That means geeks get up under the iron. Hit the gyms and work out. Dress well. Don't show up in geek outfits wearing tennis shoes and a stenciled teeshirt and jeans.



Your prey is calculating your potential the moment you walk in. So use it like bait. Don't drive one of those box shaped Scion cars because it's "economical", instead drive a powerhouse that says something. Yes I am again sorry but cars still get the girls attention. Again a reference from the pimp game you need to worry about the 4 c's of the game. Crib, car, clothes and convo as in conversation.



That is your hook. Discover your real purpose in life and be working on your dreams and passions. Your prey love a man who is into that. And I will probably get assasinated for revealing this by the women up in here. I can see them now.."Oh no there is a guy who knows the truth...he must be killed...", Just kidding.



Don't be about chasing every skirt that walks by. Don't even turn your head. Let them choose you or wonder why you are not like the rest of the fools out there and not staring and running up in her face spitting a stupid corny pick up line.



Be that one unique head who is different to bait her in. Use your potential in a vague way. That means don't just talk about yourself but allude to this or that at times.



I tell my fellas to get into ToastMasters as I have done. I am now a accomplished competitor in public speaking with many awards under my belt. When you conquer your greatest fear a little fear of pretty girls seems like nothing. Plus women like men who are public speakers and movers in the world.



In my book (http://geeks2pimps.com) I used a example of a email seduction. I was working on a movie in Oakland California (playing a pimp of course) at the time and don't think I didn't use that as to why I was travelling so much. But it sells. It makes you one of "them", instead of the rest of the sheep. Your on the inside.



So sell what ever job you have and make it grandiose in your allusions. You can bet that the woman in that example of seduction that I used went back to her office to brag about the man who had NO voice (laryngitis) that she met who is also a actor. So be alert to things that will give women bragging rights to their cronies at work on girlfriends. Sell it and use it. They do the same type of shyt to us.



How many times have you dated a woman and she did a werewolf act and metamorphed into a totally different person that what she PRETENDED to be?



How many times have you been sold on her sweet and honest nature only to find your dating a succubus who has already been through the hot dudes out there?



You got sold a bill of goods. As one famous person from history said "the wool has been pulled over your eyes, you have been bamboozled and hoodwinked."



I know it seems like I am a old angry fool with women but in reality I still luv em to death. I love their soft curves and warm love they give a brutha and I am settled down with a good girl with freak potential right now who takes very good care of MY needs.



I just counceled a guy in Austraila who had a girl get him all hot and bothered while sleeping in her bed after he drove way out into the boonies and not want to have sex. A total woman powerplay designed to rip the testicals of lesser men and put them under control.



Women are masters of the game and the only way to come out ahead is to out play the game until you are ready to settle down.



So I agree that a lot of women can be demanding and selfish. It's part of the contracts they spit to you guys. You know that crap about not having sex until 5 dates while they will give it up to bad boys like me the first night type of junk.



This dose of reality is bought to you buy

I don't believe in openers fella so you need to reread any zenmack or playersupreme articles of mine. I quit using the name zenmack when I quit macking women for money, cars, trips, clothes long ago.

That is why I changed my name to player supreme. I was getting out of the higher level game and going down to just the player level.


Why?

Because I wasn't cut out for taking money from women.
