"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 see this book and it's various laws being parroted a lot on this forum. Although I was skeptical at first, I am halfway through this book now and finding it an incredibly useful tome. Definately the most amoral self-help book I've ever read, but just filled to the brim with truth.

What I'm curious about is if any of you guys have actually found instances in your life when you have put one of the laws into action and seen its results?
 

"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.

I like this book but at first I didn’t. I was a little upset that somebody was telling all my secrets! Most of the stuff in the book I do naturally. I never put it in terms like Greene does but… hey who does?

One thing I find very funny about this book is the fact: People that worship DA always say how great of a book it is, yet they down MM. This book backs up everything within MM. The same people say they like the book because it helps them live up to the DA standards. Since you have read most of the book you know that it completely does the opposite.

If anybody thought Mystery was conniving than they should read Greene’s books. Mystery would look like a saint in comparison.

I like all of Greene’s work and he tells it like it is. Upfront and true to nature.

I've put the boldness law into effect more than once for success.

The laws really work which is what makes this such a great book.

One of the best books ever written in fact I'd say.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I've always liked the first review on Amazon. Somebody clearly trying to use one of the laws!

i'll take it even father... If you read that, read "the prince" as well.. People give Robert Greene all this credit but all he did was rewrite the prince by Machiavelli

Absolutely! Prince is a must read, as well as 33 Strategies of War. I actually went to Barnes and Nobles 3 days ago and bought the paperback of, The 48 Laws of Power. Since I was sick of reading it from a computer screen! I love that book! It has so much GREAT information in it. It's also an entertaining book to read!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
