"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.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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 its all outdated.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.
 

"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.
