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.

I had been the biggest AFC for the last 6 months until I discovered this site. Wow. It's changed me in so many ways I can't even describe...

Anyway, aside from thanking you... the purpose of this post was this:

When did you start becoming a DJ?
Did something just click and that AFC switch turned off (if it was ever on ;) ) and BOOM you're a man?
Or is it all just one continual learning experience...?

I'd like to hear ya thoughts on this one!

"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.

Ever since I found this site back in September, my Inner AFC and DJ have been at war with each other. My AFC side was curbstomping my Inner DJ until the AA competition, and then my Inner DJ started gaining ground and chased my Inner AFC back to the corners of my subconscious. Recently, my Inner AFC has launched a counterattack and has been overwhelming my Inner DJ.

My Inner AFC is very powerful, however my inner DJ has shone so much these last few weeks. I love it. My Inner DJ is going to storm my Inner AFC and try to overtake it this weekend.

The moment I realized I had nothing left without her.

Before I met her I had friends, plenty of women and success.

After she had left I had almost nothing and realized it was time to take the power back and give my life the needed sustenance to build vitality.

I stopped acting like a beta and began to treat everyone the same. I decided that no matter what I would stop checking girls out, being nice to them just because and I would look for a deeper source of character that I had judged men by.

If she wasn't imaginative, didn't respect me in any way I simply walked away. It was difficult in the beginning because it felt like utter separation and death. It felt like I was quickly losing even more people but what I came to have was an incredible source of abundance and joy. I became positive about my life and began taking responsibility.

Now, I wouldn't have it any other way. I never want any woman controlling my life and I have no desire to ever pursue women again. No matter what, even if its going to leave me stranded and alone for a very long time. Even in the worse of scenarios I will stick to my truth. Also, I have found that my best friend is myself and that self love is an incredible feeling. The moment when you look at your life and become grateful for every singular thing, even the moments of boredom and lull, you appreciate anyways. It is about loving what is regardless of how things are. The true definition of an alpha male.

You never destroy your AFC-ness. You just learn to control it :whistle:

Haha I have realised this to be too true!

Thanks for the posts, editdivide that was helpful and similar to a situation I was in... looks like you got it all sorted. Good luck! I figured that, you change yourself first, and then the world around you second.

And that a small change each day can overall make a BIG difference...

Keep it up DJs!
 

"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.

Completely agree with comic_relief here... but for the thread's sake...

My LTR broke up with me around Thanksgiving last year. About 2 months after my that (which would be around Jan-Feb of this year), I would say it all changed for me. I realized how much she disrespected me, and how much better I deserved. I knew deep down that while I wasn't to blame, things got where they were because of my passive attitude on way too much. I decided to change myself at that exact moment. I heard about this sit a while back from someone, and knew this was the right time to check it out. And here I am.

And it's a damn good thing, too! It turns out my LTR just got engaged last month to the guy I suspected she was cheating on me with. And I can surprisingly and happily say it doesn't even bother me. I have this site to thank for that. Without realizing my potential out there, and how much I didn't need someone like her, who knows how I would be after hearing that news.

EDIT: I still have a long way to go. But I now know where I'm heading and how to get there. Just practice at this point.

Hasn't happened yet.

Although there is constant war going on in my head.

The AFC side also has depression as the cavalry.
