"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.

Anyone ever been on a few dates with different girls only to get so fed up with their BS that you don't even care anymore? I've been having no ambition to sarge because I just say to myself in my head "She's probably just another manipulative women that's gonna try to string me along.. Why even bother approaching and why not just save my time for other things?"

It's tough because I want to sarge, I want to get laid.. But at the same time I don't want to deal with any sort of emotional attachment that may come about from myself.

I've realized lately that this emotional attachment does indeed happen to me no matter how much I deny it. I tell myself "that's AFC, don't do that" and supress it. I think I really need to get a hold of my emotions and conquer them with logical thought somehow. When I supress these emotions I miss out on opportunities to have a girl by my side, when I show these emotions I lose the girl.

Is anyone else stuck in this rut? I've been on here for a few months now and still cannot seem to conquer my inner AFC. I have no problem talking to and socializing with women whatsoever and can usually be pretty clever and suave. Maybe I'm just going for girls that are too hot? Most of these girls show high interest for a week or two, then some more physically attractive guy comes along and scoops them up from me.

I'd like criticism here. I don't care if it's brutally honest because that's indeed the best for personal growth in the end. Thanks in advance.
 

"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.

You seem pretty incongruent, man. You always talk about how you want to get laid or are totally going to screw this girl at a party. Or this one girl that' you've been friends with forever who you started kissing but didnt' escalate.

You say these chicks get scooped up after a couple or a few weeks. Maybe it could be your lack of sexual assertion / confidence.(Hard to be confident about something you've only seen on your computer.) These chicks probably want to get fvcked and you aren't pulling the trigger.

I normally bang a chick probably the 3rd "date", max.(If it's going anywhere)

The rut is almost always due to the the same things .... a lack of other activities, lack of multiple options, and outcome dependence all three of these things come back to the worst trait a man can have neediness.

Your goal: to hook up tonight
A DJ's goal: Have a great time, seize the moment, and if there happens to be a HB that wants to get down then alright.

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

Make your goal to have a good time and you'll see when you're not affected by the outcome of women you'll perfromed much better with them.
 

"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.

When I get in a rut where women are concerned I take a break for a few weeks or months then get back to it when it suits me.

rinse & repeat.

Your not closing them could quite honestly be related to your virginity.

Figure out a way, by whatever means necessary to lose the v-card stat.

How about you just set a clear goal to focus on. You can drown that pessimistic voice by just focusing on one thing.

On this date, I will focus on getting some tongue action. Once that's done, I am happy, anything more would be a bonus. Next date or next girl, I will focus on groping, err I mean kino. Anything more would be a bonus. Once you accomplish that, next date would be...

Just focus on one goal per date and you will end up happier and more competent in the dating world. When you have plenty of success, then you can choose which one has quality and spend more time with her. Since she's quality, there will be less drama = more happiness.
