"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.

There aren't very many real men left in this world. You don't need any lines, pickup routines, methods or anything if you are a real man. You don't even have to speak if you are a real man.

Here is how you can get more ***** then you even want.

Become a real man and live a full, well rounded life.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I agree in principal, but expound upon your definition of what it is to be a real man.

Being a real man runs deeper than one single comment. It is a legacy of our very ancestors. Think for a second what it would have been like to be a pharaoh, or a roman emperor, or someone of INCREDIBLE power that lived throughout human history. Think about the way a real man was, because it is in our heads. The entire history and experience of man is embedded in our minds, it just has to be unlocked.

Becoming your real true masculine self is the most painful process that you can put yourself through, ESPECIALLY if you are a chode. That is why most guys just choose not to even bother, they would RATHER stay a chode because its safe and comfortable even though their lives are miserable.

Being a real man is about owning up to your emotions, perspectives, actions, consequences and results. It is about taking FULL responsibility for your life and giving yourself to 100% of all areas. It is being ruthlessly honest with yourself about how you REALLY feel about everything from women to your family.
 

"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.

Be nothing less than 100% Man - and ditch those stupid pink shirts too. A ploy by the opposite sex to feminise us even further.

Yes i Agree!!! With everything Above. As ur life progresses and becomes more Fullfilling ur World changes.. and everything around u. Ur direct perceptions of thinking is reflected by the outside world u create. U r ur own Master and wish how u want to Create. As for Women they have there Roles and so do U. I Haven't been on this site for a while cuz i have been busy @ Uni doing Nursing. I'm on my 2nd Year now n doing well and passing everything. Over the course of time my perception has changed and so is myself as I get education and surrounded by girls most of the time..

I tend to talk to them more and they can actually hold a quality stimulating conversation. Meetings lots of people in this field and it's great.

Leaves out one important thing. You still need a club or rock to get them back to your cave.

yea yea. I know this man. its ingrained in my head that this is what I have to do to fix myself. But how do I become a man? you might think its a stupid question of course. Yea you can say somewhere inside you the real man is there: you have to go find it.

butb It seems to much social conditioning and media female brainwash. I can see myself becoming a man like you say, but it seems like it won't be happening anytime soon....
 

"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.

1) You do the right thing no matter what the circumstances. You never do anything that could be misunderstood or derived from malicious intent.

2) You protect your credibility and reputation at all costs. Nothing you do can ever be misconstrued if you are acting with true honor. Your goal should be not a single person ever being able to latch on to your action and spread negativity about you. You want to be a leader, live from the moral high ground.

3) You earn your success and then protect it with your life. You spend the painful nights alone working towards your dream and when you get it you protect it. You share with those you trust the world to and no one else. You don't brag or speak of your journey because you did it for yourself, not recognition.

4) You can tap into the power in yourself in order to understand the truth about your reality.

5) You are a master of your own emotion and can control any and every feeling that arises., including laughing in the face of heartbreak and adversity. Nothing takes away from your focus. A real man doesn't ever get deterred from his path, it is impossible. Girlfriend of five years cheats on you, laugh at it, cordially break up with her and focus even harder on your dream.

6) You build a life according to a vision and you hold onto that vision in the midst of any external circumstance. No matter what happens you push it aside and stay on your dream. You want complete success you have to do this. There is no other way.

7) You are untouchable because you think LONG and HARD about every single action before you do it. You consider all consequences down to the effects of every single word you speak and thought you have. Not a person in this world could speak about any action you have done that was dishonorable because you either act with honor or don't act at all.

8) You have complete control over your own reality, thoughts, feelings, perceptions and desires. You know your vulnerabilities. You know that not everything you think is right, in fact you are more often very wrong. You understand how to carry yourself in ANY situation and this is where your core confidence begins.

9) You sacrifice basic needs for the greater goal. No more drinking heavily to escape the lonliness of a friday night. No more drug use to escape the pain. No more sitting around feeling like you have no idea what to do with yourself. Sacrifice today to get where you need to get tomorrow. Open a book, DO something, make yourself a better man and follow your intiution.

10) You keep your problems to yourself and you handle them yourself. You don't project problems onto other people. You don't seek advice, you handle it yourself. If you are in so much pain that all you can do is go on a five mile run then you get on your nikes and make some moves. You don't call a friend and *****, you don't call your girl and *****, you don't ***** at all because then you're a *****.

Want to be a man, take your rage and aggression and manifest it as pure motivation to live a completely and utterly relentless life of true character and honor. Don't stop for anything or anyone. Take everything you do and make it better. You ran two miles today? Run three tomorrow. You read a book this month, read two next, then read three. Never stop. Become relentless. Men are unstoppable when they act from masculine energy. Don't even let the doubt creep in. Stop it in it's tracks and tell yourself to man up. Stop being a damn *****. Stop wasting your life chasing ***** all day long and trying to learn some tricks that are just a band-aid for the truth. You are a *****. That is the truth. You don't know the first thing about being a man because you aren't willing to manifest your dream in this world.

All I have to say to you is shut up for once in your life. This world isn't about you and no one gives a rats ass what you think, what I think, or anything else for that matter. They care about what you can do for them and you can't blame everything else for your problems. Take responsibility for your life. You want the dream life and you don't want to do anything to do it. You want it handed to you on a silver platter and then you want more. A ***** doesn't know the first thing about life but a real man knows that life is what he makes it.

Good points

11) Burn all those darn metromale pink shirts in your wardrobe...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
