Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
Oh look, ShortTimer baiting.Originally posted by Pook
I rarely appear in the discussion area because people try to 'pook bait' me into meaningless conversations (think of shortimer's posts) that go way off the reservation.
Way to dodge the issue there. Don Ronny is right about what you did: you said it's a horrible thing to be a commentator and tear down others and then you do it yourself. How do you spell hypocrisy?quote:

And Pook, dont you find it ironic how you bash Noobs for "tearing other posters down" when you just did the same thing to him? (Mercilessly I might add)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is nothing to tear down!
No you're certainly not. You come here to preach and move on. Whenever a real discussion does start you shout about how the posters are "commentators" and how "their psychology is all wrong." I have NEVER seen you stay the course on a thread to support your ideas; instead you make a comment about how the other person is psychologically flawed and never post again.Originally posted by Pook
I'm here to discuss and learn ideas.
Actually they are at The Thinking Man's Minefield, Intellectual *****s, or a Camille Paglia book; just like every other post you’ve ever had.Currently, I've been quiet because even though I am still doing articles, they are not appearing on this site. "Where did they go, Pook?" Why, they are right here on my harddrive!
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.

You can live your life for just puzzy but that would be a wasted life...you neglected your artistic, philosophic and other abilities.Originally posted by Nooby Doo: LIE #6 "A DJ is about self-improvement. We are here to improve ourselves and make our dreams come true."
LOL! Who the fukk are you kidding dudes? Lets be real. You came here for one reason and one reason only. You wanted to learn how to score with chicks. And while it is noble of you to make yourself more attractive by getting better, this is a deadly mentality because you lose focus of your goal. You keep honing and improving in every area of your life except for seduction in hopes that women will flock to you, but it doesnt work that way, I dont care what Pook says. You can be completely successful, happy and goodlooking and still not get any puzzy!
I couldn't have put it better myself . . . . . .I've put A LOT of efforts trying to explain, why all this site is a BIG fake. Is it so hard to understand, that THE ONLY thing, which got you success, was YOU doing SOMETHING. JUST something. And if you have had a success, it was BECAUSE a girl liked you from the start. the main think was - you showed interest. That's just ONE good thing here- getting guys to take some action. Other is Ego bullsh|t, like "Women don't know what they want", "How you think, you shall become", "Neg-hits", "Challenge" (that's one of dumbest things. It says, that if you possess a Challenge, the interest will Rise. Just they don't realize one thing, that that isn't a rised interest, that's girls Ego, which tells her, that she might loose you, and then she takes desperate action to stop that. and you believe that's rised interest? LOL ), "Fake it till you make it" (ex: Confidence. again - LOL. guys writing here don't even know a sh|t about REAL confidence. and their house of cards WILL crash, when they encounter some unexpected event/situation and their insecurities will POP out in their all "beauty". thats just a time question.).. and a lot of other "Rules-Illusions", self restrictions (not to say that or that, not to buy that or that, not to do that or that...) which sooner or later will turn back to you. I've been there, I've done that...
Craig,
You mean well but you're off base. I'll hit on everything you said later. You seem to be in a stage that many have us have been a long time ago. Still reaching for that hope in the wrong place. Indeed it's not all about being what is considered 'attractive', but rather be comfortable and being in touch with who you are as a man, and radiating that naturally. Women will notice and perceive your maleness based off of a visual. It's why a$$holes get laid, and so do nice guys, and so do abusers, yet so do mamma's boys, and so do DJs, and so do guys who never read this site before. We are ALL capable of getting laid, it is just people like us, on this board, that let our insecurities get in the way and make US fvck up the whole thing because we don't even recongize something when it was handed to us.
Your stuff is nice and inspiring but it's not new. Everybody has heard it and we notice it's not quite flying. You'll notice it too, in time. In the beginning you will get a HUGE ego boost and feel you have something up on everybody ("people are brainwashed by the media!"). After awhile you'll realize that the technique, mindframe, tricks, confidence have NOTHING to do with why you got laid. But you can't figure out the true reason but you just attribute it to 'must be the new confidence', since that feels like you have some type of control. Trust me. Just wait it out before you start throwing a bunch of cliche DJ theory that we've all heard a million times before.
"Mystery Woman, you're just too snotty to admit that men can affect a woman's initial decisions about him with his personality, charm, and wit. You're just too snotty to admit that an average looking guy could sweep a hot woman off of her feet."
And you are just too insecure to comprehend and ACCEPT the truth because it would take you back to the starting block again. Stick you with a "what now?" face and make you figure out what's REALLY goin on. And that scares the shyt out of you. She's a threat. A threat to your perceived power that will stop you from falling into that very person that you were ashamed of, that made you feel like you NEEDED sosuave.com to begin with.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Not all words have the same level of concrete-ness. I would say the word "glass" is more concrete than "ethics," however without any concrete-ness communication becomes impossible.Originally posted by George Gordon
Hi ShortTimer.
I've noticed in many threads, people try or feel a need to attach concrete definitions to words.
Some people desire clarity in their communications. Others realize that anything but the most mundane interactions with the world requires clarity. Try organizing a large event and being vague about time or place and see how well things go.Originally posted by George Gordon
Why some people transform language into mathematics is beyond me.
No I wouldn't because of the imprecise nature of experience. Let's say three men are standing in a field at night. Suddenly flames streak across the sky.Originally posted by George Gordon
Now, could it be possible that experience is the most effective form of transferring ideas?
If the choice is to "think" or to "feel" I will always choose "think." Unless of course I "think" that "feeling" will further my goals more quickly than "thinking" would.Originally posted by George Gordon
I mean, would you ever consider banishing that damned ‘equal-sign’ and embracing THE PROCESS rather than the black and white ‘sum’?
Again, why experience does transfer ideas well. I have faced my own mortality in a hospital bed, but this has not humbled me. It has hardened my resolve to deny the oblivion at the end, and to not be afraid of it. If anything it strengthened my resolve and self-confidence. Reality does not scare me.Originally posted by George Gordon

Make your imagination reality. Forget ‘truth’. Sculpt your beliefs with the hands that have felt Nature’s Laws, the fingers that have followed the contours of your very face.
But isn't this kind of 'experience' like watching two people communicate on a silver screen? For isn't this the observer's point of view where the person isn't really PART of the experience, but a bystander? Could you actually be talking about 'knowledge' (or beliefs), NOT experience? And aren't these men just communicating with themselves and merely expressing their opinions to one another?No I wouldn't because of the imprecise nature of experience. Let's say three men are standing in a field at night. Suddenly flames streak across the sky.
The first man says: "This is certainly a sign from the gods!"
The second man says: "No! It is a sign from alien visitors!"
The third says: "You are both wrong, it was a meteor!"
Who gives a damn about 'right' or 'wrong'! In your post, you implied that you're 'goal-oriented', so I'm wondering if you ever put things in the frame of "Am I getting the results I want?" That frame alone. No right. No wrong.Three men with the same experience, but radically different interpretations. Unfortunately experience cannot tell us who is right.
That's becasue they are in the same realm as knowledge. Experience can be a path to knowledge and skill is a form of knowledge. You say so yourself here:Originally posted by George Gordon
Is it possible that you put EXPERIENCE (and SKILL) in the same realm as KNOWLEDGE?
Right here you say experience leads to learning. What I am saying is that even if two people have the exact same experiences they may come to radically different conclutions.Originally posted by George Gordon
understand those ideas unless you have already experienced numerous rejections, consequently learning
"Does it work?" is pretty much my motto. I don't care about other considerations if something achieves my goals. Only in more extreme circumstances will I be concerned about the side effects of a particular method (while murder is always an option to get things done, under normal circumstances there would be no reason to).Originally posted by George Gordon

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.
