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.
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.
too much **** to read...tried thoughSamTheHobit said: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?
Yes, 48 Laws of Power is a must-read, my favorite line is: "Love doesn't die of starvation, it dies of indigestion".SamTheHobit said:any one else read the 48 laws of power?
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.
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.SamTheHobit said:The no contact rule is the best piece of advice sosuave has I think . . .

Exactly. You're winning two battles with one simple step.DropZone3 said: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.
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.
