Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Thanks for teaching me the 'NoContact' Rule

As I have found out, No Contact is the best tool that you have.

Thanks
 

"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.

The no contact rule is the best piece of advice sosuave has I think . . . If any thing else it can give you all you power back after a girl broke it off with you..a few examples in the 48 laws of power "Use absence to increase respect and honor" and mort important of all "Disdain things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best revenge" any one else read the 48 laws of power?

Ignoring is the best revenge.

Acting like they never existed really kills them. Especially if you see them every day :woo:

Yes, 48 Laws of Power is a must-read, my favorite line is: "Love doesn't die of starvation, it dies of indigestion".
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The no contact rule rocks as it accomplishes two things at once. It gives the man time to heal and reflect on himself and denies the attention that women crave.

I have read much of it, and it is interesting reading. Even if you don't follow all the rules yourself, being aware of them is certainly important. So many people let themselves be affected by these things unthinkingly.

I know a guy who is a master manipulator. He follows these laws clearly by design. Everybody likes him, but he is never there for you if there is a conflict between you and someone else - yet he will agree with both sides when he talks to the people involved alone. And so on. Takes a while to see through it all, most people never do.

The 48 Laws of Power should be followed, but in a decent way, not like the example I mention above. For example, the No Contact rule that WorkingDJ mentions. I agree, it works.

Robert Greene also wrote The Art of Seduction, a similar volume to his book 48 Laws of Power. The two both apply to business and relationships. Some seem ruthless but are logical nonetheless.

Exactly. You're winning two battles with one simple step.

She is most likely wondering about you and perhaps second guessing
her actions.

and more importantly you are getting over it and moving on.

win win.

No contact helped me out in a HUGE way in all of 2010.

Wish I'd known of it earlier.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The hardest thing is maintaining NoContact.

My most successful case has been with this one girl. I'd say she has some emotional issues, but when I went no Contact on her, she went crazy. In 2 weeks she was blowing up my phone - trying to make ME feel guilty. Few days later I delete her from Facebook to advance my no contact, ***** goes physco again blowing up my phone. I still maintain No Contact
Few weeks later I see her at a Banquet and she later texts me "lets be friends," II didn't really care though.

We aren't friends and when I get into a relationship with this other girl she makes a facebook status about me.. hahaha

NO CONTACT RULE: Successful.

Don't want her back, No Intentions of it either

I followed the Nocontact rule with my ex and I didn't even know it was a rule or a concept. But It works like magic! All the power shifted in my hands as soon as I stopped caring
And the worst thing is until she breaks and has had enough;the more time goes by the more she craves attention
This is fantastic
