"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.

This pretty much summed it up.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I have swallowed the red pill but come on don't we all act out of self interest regardless of gender?

What did you glean from this book that you didn't already know? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really curious. I haven't read the book but I read the review at ROK. Its tenets seemed obvious to me, but the truth isn't always accepted by men in love or lust.
Me? Nothing. For everyone asking questions on the front page? Well, let's see what they glean from it.

So what? It shouldn't be said or posted because it's true? LOLWUT? Again, look at the front page, now look at this book. Now look back at the frontpage. Some people haven't gotten it. I don't see what you're even asking here. Maybe this post isn't for you?

Dear Warrior,
I agree a great book thanks for posting it!
 

"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.

Not everyone has swallowed the red pill. It's good to have this information available - especially now, since Burroughs no longer posts.

Breaking news: women are selfish.

But we are selfish too.

As a character from a book I read many years ago said: let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
