"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.

This book looks like total over the top drek full of outlandish bull. And I should have my copy tomorrow. I figured I would give one last try at things before totally giving up hope of finding someone. I am simply Tired of this crap, this seemingly endless loop of failure I have had. I am tired of falling for girls who have no interest or not seeing those who do. Most of all I am tired of just hoping a girl will fall into my lap.

Whether or not I take any of the boon into practice at least I will have something to entertain me for a bit. If nothing else a social experiment.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

the game is a good book but don't learn from it. its all outdated. canned material is lame, game now is all about becoming a self actualized, confident man. check out rsdnation.com, i think thats the best game material online.

I forgot to mention I ordered the rules of the game too. I think the biggest hurdle when it comes to this stuff is myself.

And I'll say this (because I think the meme needs to get out there and be repeated), more than ever it is about 'selection' right now. That means letting your lay count take a back seat and only rewarding 'worthy' women with your time and energy (or your cawk!).

It's about personal integrity to an extent, but it's very much about 'correcting' the entitlement attitude and distorted SMV's we're all dealing with out there. It's simple carrot and stick stuff, writ large.

And it does work, you can have an influence. Despite the fact that there are hundreds of other supplicating chumps ready to paw over some used up, charmless Milf, when you say no thanks, not good enough, not for me, that has ripples, that has broader consequences. I've seen it first hand.

Slightly off topic I know, but I'm waving the flag wherever and whenever I can on this one.

Otherwise, Neil Strauss actually does pretty good gonzo journalism, I'd like to see him tackle other sub-cultures - in addition to pua, he's also done survivalists/preppers. I guess the pua stuff pays the bills though.

So I have been reading this thing and can't help that this guy sounds almost like me. The self esteem issues, the over thinking, low voice, etc. In other words, the biggest obstacle, could be ones self.

However, I am unsure if I buy into the stories presented in the book. They still seem a bit outlandish. Things seem counterintuitive to what I think they should be. And perhaps this is my problem.
 

“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.
