"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.

Introduction:
So, we come at last to the games of the summer. The games...

High School is littered with games. Sports day, swimming galas, ream upon ream, event upon event, course upon course of ****ing pointless self-worshiping bull**** that misses the point, and only by about a ****ing mile.

Number one: Games are supposed to be fun. What is the point of a bootcamp if it isn't fun?! What the hell do you think you people are? You are teenage guys. You, we, all of us are not here because we want to change the world. We are not here to find the meaning of life. We are here to have fun, and we are going to have it.

Number two: Games have a purpose. We are not here to see who's the best at weight lifting, we are not here to see who is the best at getting girls. You guys are here, and will be here over the next nine weeks to improve yourselves. Lets just stop on that for a second. Self improvement. That, my friends, is the ****.

Self improvement, the pure, unquenchable pleasure of knowing you're ending the day a swisher mother****er than when you started it. DJing is always about you, you, and only you. Screw the girls, its time to work on number one. When you do this, when you set the wheels of self improvement a-rolling, you will face many challenges.

People who are too lazy or stupid to get better will try to bring you down. That guy that asks why bother lift to the skinny guy, the guy that asks why bother diet to the fat guy, the guy who asks why bother study to the F-student. Gentlemen, that guy is known as the ****. Sadly, there are a lot of him. On top of that, you have the usual hassle of illness, things going wrong, and difficulties in achieveing what you deserve. What can I say? Deal with it. You want to get better? You keep focused, you keep smart, and you do it.

The games will be ****ing fun, the games will make you a better person. What the hell else can I say?! If you are still here in 9 weeks, you win. Simple.
____________________________________________________

The Final Line Up:

Week 1:Exercise & Weight Training. You feel good, you look good! Help on getting fit, as well as advice on weight training. Side Topic: Health and Nutrition, and Cooking (the bastard son of nutrition!)

Week 2:Bathroom. Shaving, your skin, teeth, your user manual to your body. Side Topic: Bigger **** & PC muscles

Week 3:Creativity. Music, drama, and art, expressing yourself! As well as "thinking outside the box". Side Topic: Style

Week 4:Media & Philosophy. Get Learning! A Brief guide to becoming a book, film, and current events king. Also, thoughts on what you believe. Side Topic: Literacy and getting a Job

Week 5:Personality. Become funnier and find your source of motivation. Risk taking too! Side Topic: Your Speciality

Week 6:Object Manipulation. A whole range of skills, juggling, flair bartending, stick fighting! Side Topic: Magic

Week 7:School Work. Get Straight As, which always helps. Side Topic: Memory, and Life-after-school

Week 8:The Head Game. The psychology of self-improvement and success. Side Topic: Driving, and car maintenance.

Week 9:Partying. A bit of fun for your hard work!Throwing a good one and enjoying other peoples. Side Topic: Dancing and fighting (end on a love&hate thang)

The changes? Well, disturbingly, it just gets more and more ambitious. Hey, it just wouldn't be fun if it was too safe!

The only other thing will be a much-demanded "weekly risky challenge!". Hell, if you don't like being a public **** you don't have to do it. Stealing "for sale" signs does not make you more of a man. I REPEAT. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU MORE OF A MAN. But **** it, it's summer, and some of you guys just sound like you're looking for an excuse... oh you uncouth rebels you...:p
____________________________________________________

The Final Word:

This course will not be an amazing dive into new material. This will not be a revolution in how teenagers live their lives. This course should not be the only thing you do this summer. This course won't even really be breaking new ground.

It'll be fun though.

In fact, we'll have a little awards ceremony at the end of it, and I'll give some awards to those I feel have really deserved it, be that in their progress, their determination, their helpfullness, their stealing of "for sale" signs - whatever. The prizes? Probably a Mars bar with a flag in it, and a trophy made out of a loo roll and some glitter:D. All to be won via the power of airmail!

So, not only do you stand to gain **** prizes, you might also improve yourself;). Fun and good for you, can't ask for more than that now can you;).

One small change to the set up as posted in organisation: You'll need a new "Challenges sheet". Put it from weeks one to nine as before, but give about 5 boxes after it, to accound for the extra side topics.

That should be about it! Stick at it and keep us all informed of how you fared on that week's challenges, what you think of the course, and any further advice you can give that can be put in the booklets. Never know- you might just get a prize for your typing!

Good luck all, and...
Let the Games Begin!
 

"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.

"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.

"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.

Well It's 4th of July and I am in charge of the RISK OF THE WEEK.

The whole point of risk of the week(ROTW) is to get out of your comfort zone, It's about overcoming fears, and becoming a man. Idealy in PU you want to be able to adapt to anything. To do this you need to be comfortable in any situation, whether it be dancing to talking to a girl.

This is about conquering your fears. If you don't like the suggested ROTW or are morally against it, then fine substitute one in. These are indeed risks so don't get caught consider that fair warning. Attempt at your own risk.


Week 1: Low: Light a firecracker.

I'm open for suggestions. I'm thinking 3 levels. High medium and low.

Light a firecracker in the sink of a public facility, maybe? I've done it on golf courses and it doesn't damage much, just makes a hell of a noise.

I'm not promoting destroying things. Just getting over peoples fears in general. Anywhere will do but I would try a driveway or something. If you want to be more gutsy go ahead.

"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.
