"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.

I was considering buying the Art of Seduction by Robert Greene. I never hear about this book in the DJ community, I always hear about The Mystery Method, Double Your Dating, etc.

So for those of you that have read it, is it good and worth buying? What is it about and does it have new material that's not on this board? I skimmed over it today and it sounds similar to what we read here, but a little bit more theoretical. He even gives historical examples. Greene also has the 48 Laws of Power that relates to seduction to a certain extent. I'm also thinking about getting that book too. So is The Art of Seduction good material and worth buying?
 

"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.

Actually, there is a discussion topic on Art of seduction in the off topic section. But to answer your question, yes the book is worth a read.

You can d/l it in pdf form off eMule. Its a different kind of book, its not a pick up book. It's about personalities, male and female. The anti-seduction portion was the most insightful I believe.
 

"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.

Yeah I was wondering who Robert Greene was, he's not one of the main DJ's you often hear about. But he sounds pretty freakin smart. Thanks everyone.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
The Art of Seduction is an interesting book. The 48 Laws of Power is more about how to kiss someone's ass effectively while you look for a good spot along the back to stick the knife...not something I got into.

this book to me was life changing...

the seductive characters...the stories are all very influencial to me...

to me i find it a very mind opening book when it comes to human psychology. what do people really want? why do women like bad boys? its all answered in the art of seduction. you don't simply read this book, you pull out a highlighter and you study the damn thing...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I was actually going to start a thread on this very topic. I've just recently found out about Robert Greene's books. I'm currently reading The 33 Strategies of War.
