"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.

This teen angst thing goes away, right?

It's really detrimental to my game.
I can't even control it. It just happens. Stupid hormones.
Anyway, when does it end? lol
 

"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.

For me closer to 30-31, lol.

It ends when you realize that the world is not against you and everyone is not hating on you or judging you, it only feels that way because you're so caught up in your own life, and judging yourself, you think others are caught up in your life and judging you as well.

None of it's true. People are concerned with themselves.

hey once you turn 30, you just don't care what people think of you anymore and you say what you want to , and you do what you want to.
no regrets, no surrender!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Well I suppose as a 17 year old the idea of the world being against me is supposed to be normal, but a year's worth of exposure to David DeAngelo's seminars and reading sites like these has caused me to think otherwise.

Thank God that my brain is still in the developmental stages, so once I mature I won't have as many problems "re-wiring" my social and mental behavior like you older guys.

resistnance is the cause of all suffering. accept whatever feelings you have. don't fall into the trap of waiting for them to be gone tomorrow, becaue tomororw never comes. breath into the feelings, and experiences them. accept them for what they are. Accept YOU for who you are. you will always be changing, always be growing and learning. you will never ever GET THERE becasue there is no THERE. there is only HERE, and there is only NOW.

Acceptance is key. Breath deeply, accept who you are and how you feel.

Oh. Well, I'm not having much trouble with accepting myself anymore, so I guess that I don't have teen angst. lol

I actually think I'm hot **** :)
