"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I can see law 48 really applying to dating...the spontaneity, being formless and flexible so you're ready for anything, not having some 'game plan' or 'strategy' mapped out.

This sounds interesting, I'm gonna try and get an ebook version of the 48 laws of power as well as The Prince...Machiavelli was a real visionary of his time.
 

"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.

What is the new book? I read the Prince, and have 4 books of his (Seduction, Power, War and 50the Law, the latter regrettably as it is not worth it). I had predicted he'd write a book about the rules or survival or something.

50th Law was a kind of rehash of his other books, I didn´t like it either. Besides that, he read the book himself, which was boring as hell. I miss Don Leslie, this guy is a monster.

His new book:
http://www.amazon.com/Mastery-Rober...=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341868042&sr=1-5

He´s doing it alone, so I think it will be a hit! :)

I never read the book, but as soon as I started reading these laws I thought immediately of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, and lo and behold the first two people who were listed in the writeup about the book were those two...

I personally think people of yesteryears had much better social skills than we do today since they had no other activities to spend their time on such as these forums, facebooj, computer, television, etc...
 

"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.

Recently purchased this book off amazon, just finished chapter 1. Just wondering if anyone has actually applied these principles either in their business or social life and had success?

I own this book. I should reread it to get a better idea.
