"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Personally, I don't want to have to bother with keeping up appearances, with having to spend time and effort maintaining a facade or remembering which personality I used with which girl.

My character flaws go way deeper than not being able to pick up chicks, so I've got more to gain by big deep fundamental change.

Remodeling isn't enough; I feel that I have to tear down, redesign, and rebuild from the foundation up.
You're right. There is no reason for you to have a split personality, just be an outgoing guy.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Personality suicide? Are you crazy? What happens when you find a flaw in the new personality you created? You're gonna tear down again?

How about taking care of the personality you already have instead of just creating a new alter-ego? Nah, let's just pretend that we all are Tyler Durden.

Yeah, he ****s the way you wanna ****, talks the way you wanna talk, lives in your dream world, and well, except from that he’s after all just a creation of Chuck Palahniuk, and no, for you kids who still lives in Fight club – Tyler doesn’t exist in real life...


… but nah, forget about that too!

Meanwhile, you can try forgetting about your own real personality also. Because, compared with Tyler you’re nothing, right? Yeah, that’s definitely what Tyler would do, isn’t it?

Now, I got an even better idea! Let’s start a fight club too, and, yeah, let’s blow up your apartment and fight your boss. Hit rock bottom, and don’t forget that self-improvement is masturbation. Damn kids, grow the **** up. Nah, don’t, instead; stay at sosuave.net and pretend that you’re a self-destructive Brad Pitt look-alike.

Okay, I think you get the idea. But, for all you Fight club-fans out there, I’ll refer to the book, movie or what you prefer to call your lifestyle:

You're not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.

And no, you’re NOT TYLER DURDEN!



Okay, feel free to do whatever you want. Pretend that you're someone else if it works out for you and you get your phone numbers and hot girls. But, don't forget, pretending that you're someone else will never lead you to happiness in the long-run.


Thanks.

You say that like it's possible.
I am what is standing in my way, so I am what needs to be removed from the picture.
It seems to me like it would be the perfect solution: get rid of everything that's wrong with me in one fell swoop, then create a personality ideally suited for success.

What happens when you find a flaw in the new personality you created? You're gonna tear down again?
If I've done it before, then I should be able to do it again ... and it may even be easier the second time.
 

"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.

There are too many conflicting views in this thread, it's confusing. Basically is it a "dangerous" technique or is it ok to try out?
