"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
