"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

He goes by many aliases. But best know to have a science project. While at the same time having a news paper. Women bowed to his feet. He is known as Ben Franklin. Struck by lightning. Only to survive and seduce the most amazing women of his day. Anyone would like to share some thoughts on this innovator from back in 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.

It would have been cool to have watched him in operation. By all accounts, he really was a DJ.

Back then, I think that intelligence was much more valued by women than today.

Maybe. Intelligence could translate into money and power. Back then, women were much more dependent on having a man to support them. To be in the house of a rich and powerful man was about as high a position that they could rise to.

Believe it or not I know this is outside the box but if you value good ice cream back then in the mid 1800's you were intelligent. How neglected is ice cream now a days where we don't even value it. At Mcdonalds you can get it for a dollar.

Back then they really valued what they had. Especially if there was a special party. You'd think he would really write about it in his paper?

I've read his autobiography, really good stuff. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/148

He doesn't really focus on his exploits, but you can tell that he is experienced with people and is respected. Also gives a good insight of how life was lived back then.
People seemed to be a lot more friendlier towards one another. Nowadays, everyone is impersonal, perhaps even scared of each other. You see a man walking alone in a park and most people scream "Predator!". Back then, from his account, it was a way different.

The language is a bit dated, but it's not that bad. Definitely recommend reading it
 

"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.

True but I'm left to believe the best parties he attended were never recorded. Any one else have a theory on this?
