Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

NWN2 and Oblivion for PC. Gothic 3 is fun if you can handle the bugs and know how to tweek the settings right. Zelda for Wii. Two Worlds is coming out pretty soon for PC.ChrizZ said:Ahh fvck it. Why risk my future because of a stupid game? I changed my mind. I´m not gonna buy it!

What about blaming the woman for a change?realsmoothie said:A co-worker of mine actually just dumped her boyfriend of a year because he played too much WOW.
That should tell you something... he was so addicted he'd rather play WOW than get laid.
She sounds like an HORRIBLE lay!!

I reccomend Star Craft. It's old, but it's cheap, free online, only game i've been playing consistently (meaning once in a while) for the past 9 years.

Pathetic.
"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.
If you have the type of personality that would get so into the game that you would lose sight of your real life then I wouldn't get the game. If you can honestly say that you can play the game like I play FFXI...being able to turn it off and not let it interfere with your real life, then it should be alright...but you should limit yourself to a set amount of time each week to play and not let yourself play more than that...EVER.

It has a monthly fee. Very few online games are free.
"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.
Warpath said:How did he spend thousands on WoW? Was he buying in-game items with actual money?
At first it started with him buying gold with actual money. Then it moved on to paying people in another country to level his characters. Over the course of 7 months he had spent probably $1500. The thing that helped aid our breakup was him buying someones character off of ebay for $1200 and lying to me about it (he told me it cost $600 originally). After about 2 weeks the ACTUAL owner (not the person who sold it to him) of the account took it back and so he lost all of that money. He lied to me again by telling me that he sold it for $1600. Eventually the truth had come out. Now the thing is, I never asked. He would tell me this stuff like "guess what, I bought a new character" so it hurt me that he was lying to me when I wouldn't have been too upset since it was his money.
This game can bring out the worse in people, with him he was a great guy beforehand, he had stuff to talk about and he was very honest. Ever since he started playing all he talked about was WOW and spend his money on it. I told him I felt like it was as if he was cheating on me because he did all of the things with WOW that you would do with a new girlfriend.

Psychologists have opened centers for help for addicts of ALL mmo's. The main point of why/how people get addicted is the "reward" syndrome gambling addicts face. It's never ending. As long as the company and game exist, there will always be more. The difference is, there's no risk, just keep playing. In life, there's SOME risk. Emotional, financial, psychological, etc. In life, few people can try and do and then fail and try and do again. In a fantasy world, you can do it over and over until you're tired.
In the sense of video games, it's fun. But it's a time-drag, like anything else NOT being focused upon as your main core outlook in life.
In the sense of addiction, it can be addicting, as many articles and real world events notes.
It personally disgusts and depresses me that people get like that...so obsessed. That guys would ignore or dump gf's over it. That they have nothing else better to do than lvl characters in a fake world. I'd even lump Second Life into this category because it has even a more non-sensical way about it, and a more glaring and depressing name. "Second Life." When my buddy showed me that game with people banging IN-game, and told me it was real people playing their character's, I knew it'd be FUBAR. How would you feel if your wife/gf's/sister's character was virtually banging some dude. "Oh honey/brother/bf, it's only a game! I have to so I can get more X!"
The same can be said of ANY video games, but because of their nature, MMO's have an addictive feature built in. Play more, get richer, get more gear, beat more people, beat bigger bosses, etc. It's pathetic.
The lesson learned is life balance. Guys in the PUA community can be victim to the same mentality of addiction to reward, but sacrifice of soul. Sacrifice of life. If you play the game, there's no rush. If you don't, good. Fly a kite. Run. Play games. Do whatever you enjoy. Ala, Virtue of Selfishness.
Work hard, Play Hard.
