brilliant post.
"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.
The Holy Grail of Dating

"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.

It sounds good, and is funny, but it assumes much. The Powerful male and the AFC will both get pimped by either a drug dealer, a criminal or especially a drugged out musician. And the rich guy will pimp out all three. In the movie "Scarface" it wasnt until the rich, drugged out criminal drug dealer GOT super-rich and powerful that he was able to score Elvira. He literally had to kill his competition (Frank Lopez) Then he simply walked into her bedroom, and slipped the covers off her naked body, and told her, "Get up, you're coming with me, Frank is finished" and she sleepily agreed.gekkoca said:
This is true, even today, 25 years after the film. If you hit the lottery for 250 million, you can show up at any woman's apartment you are now pursuing, and walk into her bedroom, and she will cling to you, as if you are Jesus on the Sunday after he was crucified, and you appeared to Mary Magdeline.
If you are a drug dealer, women will act towards you as if you were Jim Morrison, circa 1969, at an after hours concert party. You will be the most powerfully sexual man alive, if you have some Yeyo to sell. Women will snort it off of your erect member.
If you are a criminal, you can watch the ladies have catfights over who gets to sleep with you that night, unless you talk to them in a calming voice and tell them they both can sleep with you that night.
If you are an AFC, you spend a lot of lonely nights mastrubating to the Playboy Channel, and talking to all your girl friends, who need a good emotional tampon.
If you are a powerful male, you spend much of your life "Cold Approaching" and getting loads of phone numbers to flaky women.
Because you're too scared of getting caught. Being a criminal takes balls. Getting on stage and performing takes balls. Going to the gym, working hard, paying your taxes, not so much. Lots of women, especially the young hot ones, are unable to prioritize anything higher than great big hairy man-sized BALLS.epitome said:
Good post, this thread is six years old btw.

Bump, nobody should miss this jewel
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

A lot of this post can be boiled down to the age old story of what a woman wants from a man - protection and provision.
As a man, you pride yourself on being able to protect yourself when threatened. A woman can't necessarily do this for herself, so she has to look for a man to do it for her.
To be a successful hunter, you need a certain amount of detachment and ruthlessness to make the kill.
Looks are an indicator of healthy genetic stock. Money actually gives the means to provide (and to protect, to an extent). If a guy really has the qualities to get on top, he's probably going to come into money. Yet the gurus want to portray a guy who has the qualities, but not the money. Or a guy who can fake the qualities, at least.

The only problem I have with the original post is, as usual with pickup material, looks and money are undervalued or discredited. This is because the gurus who are trying to sell their method want to be able to say looks and money aren't important. Because that's their clientele - guys without looks or money. Chances are if they had either, they wouldn't be needing a pickup guru.Jack Prescott said:

Powerful Male: Hi, would you like to buy me a drink?
Woman: Boy, you seem confident, don't you?
Powerful Male: I know nothing about confidence: I simply am.
Woman: [turns wet]
I laughed my ass off at this. Great post, OP.

The one thing the author gets wrong is that he assumes all women have the same exact personality and motivations. There are some excellent nuggets of advice in here, though.

excellent post and fits to my experiences and observations
in real life.
One thing / question which bothers me already for a long time.
May be someone on the forum can "enlighten" me on this.
In the old days, even lets say 200 years ago, it was necessary
to go hunting. Hunting is for food, for immediate survival.
There is a strong motivation to go hunting and be a good hunter (killer).
Being hungry and the risk of you and your familiy not surviving is
a big motivation.
But how about today? If you have enough money for a comfortable life.
So there is no real essential need to develop killer traits in
order to get more money, which I do not need.
Sex ist fun and fullfilling sure. But it is not like being hungry, you do
feel a strong urge to eat several times a day.
But for sex - twice a week might be fine
Even when fvucking a girl, I do not feel much different pleasure
if it was a moderate attractive babe or a real hot babe.
So my question is:
What could be a good motivation (like in the hunters days)
to develop the "killer" traits?

"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.
