"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The new Blood Sucking Vampire Fad

"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.

Yeah, Fatties are melting for someone to sink their teeth on their neck, or for anyone to touch them in any way. Not like they'd like fatty blood, they would die from clogged arteries.

Point and laugh, just point and laugh man.

The real reason is because they replaced the otherwise revolting scary cool looking vampires with a modern girl friendly version in order to reach the female section of the population who otherwise will not pay attention to the genre. It is the same reason why the movie Spiderman was a great success in the theaters because Spiderman doesn't just kill bad guys anymore but also has oneitis for some chick! Spiderman 2 was already a full blown chick flick and it sucked ass!

They ruined spiderman amongs other cool movies/tv shows and now they are ruining the vampires genre all the name of appealing to the opposite sex and making more money.

I think at the core of it all, women like the idea that the guy they're sitting next to could bend her backwards and do whatever his perverted mind can do to them. They just love the innate power a man can possess. I think it could be a vampire, werewolf, pirate, thief, guy in a business suit, or whatever as long as she figures you can seduce her good enough to make her like it when you take it.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

A perfect example of women being more emotional then logical.

Not watched the films, I hate that mushy stuff with a passion but I know the jist of them, i.e Twilight.

In twilight, the main guy apparantly has not had sex for 100 years, still looks young, even though he is officially an older man, and still goes to high school.

It's just a emotional attraction switch flipper for women, that when you actually try to apply logic to it, makes little sense at all.

If you actually tried to reason the thought behind such a film, you'd probably give yourself an headache.

But women love it, if you pointed out the shear madness of a 100 year old guy, going to high school, who had never had sex before, falling for the 'one' girl, to a girl. I'd bet she would dismiss your objections, then sit do-eyed watching the film, then turn around to her friends and say 'Wow that film was so good'.

All it is, is the writers know what emotional attraction switches to pull and have done so, to create something that defies logic and is just menstal mush.

Though the Ask men part is pritty good in breaking down the types of guys the vampires always are - I.e Alpha model types, with a soft streak for women.

Owwww aint that cute.

I have no problems with girls wanting this stuff and film companies churning it out, but any guy who watches this stuff, I'd think he'd need a ***** slap and pritty sharpish.

Though I once walked in on a male friend watching Bridget Jones, with a bottle of rosy and a box of tissues. Scarred me for life that did.

One will notice a trend in this mushy stuff - the plot lines are weak, the story does not have to make too much sense, all it needs to to is provide those emotional switch flippers and BOOM instant female mushy hit. Also just to point out, I have had many girls, known many girls and I can count on one hand the amount of women who could sit though something like usual suspects and enjoy it, or any other film that required even a shred of logical thought. I loved the matrix films, how many girls can sit through them, never mind know whats going on them? I could count on one hand! Stick Twilight on though and you wont hear a peep. I've known this from women in really good jobs, intelligent women, managers, teachers, legal secretaries, the works.

Nothing better then to fire up some real scary horror shi* and make your women watch it after she has bleated to watch bride wars!

Never allow your women to make you watch any of this stuff, it's a serious loss of man points.

I think its the girls are attracted to the vampiristic traits because vampires are basically men, bad boys, have sex appeal, and go after what they want in a way that makes a woman feel like the only woman in the world. Also on top of that they're loners and it makes the woman feel like she gets him all to herself.

I'm not sure that the vampire genre is a new fad as it were. The romanticised taboo of vampires has been in the public eye since the early 1900's. Half of the intrest concerning the undead is their abilty to seduce their victims without question. Recently there has been an influx of popular media concerning the subject but Bella Legocie made the tall dark and mysterious turn in the 60's. The whole notion of the leaches is based on their power over man but extreme vulnerablity in very specific and exploitable areas. It's some what facinating but still a very simple comentary on humanity.
