"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.

Hi! Do any of you Don Juans read chinese philosophy? I hear its good for getting chicks and its ancient knowledge. I've read bits of the art of war but never the whole book. Is it worth reading the tao te ching?
 

"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.

Hello : ) Yes I read a bit of Chinese philosophy but I definitely still have a long way to go with completely understanding most concepts. I'd say Art of war is great for business and challenges as it obviously is a tutorial on how to win battles and wars. AS for Tao Te Ching, it has over 80 chapters and about 40 translations in Engish, so like most religious or long philosophical texts it's best to find the topic/ subject and read only that. If you read it front to back (up-to-down) it won't be easy to memorize and practice.

From chapter 57:
I take unattached action, and the people transform themselves

The Tao is a very good book, but deciphering what it means takes more than one translation as fenix says. Some pieces of it might be indecipherable in one translation and clear in another. But all translations are the same.

I wouldn't call it a good book for getting chicks, but it's a very good book for understanding the concept of not trying to control life and letting what you can't control just happen without judgement. aka, accepting female nature instead of fighting it. My game did improve from reading it, but only indirectly.

I recommend you read Nietzsche if you're into philosophy. That guy understood some sh!t.

Buying a copy of the Tao is not enough, it's nice to have a physical copy to read, but one version will make you get lost. There are websites out there that have all the translations by chapter number, side-by-side. This is what you really need in order to understand what it's trying to say.
 

“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.
