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.

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.
 

"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.

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 Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
