"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.

"Fire In The Belly: On Being A Man" is a pretty damn good book. It has a few wussy feminist moments which I can just imagine Pook ripping to shreds, but the bulk of it is gold. It's basically GOOD FEMINISM, the dispensing of the definitions of man that hold us back.

The quote which I wanna share is something which the author himself was quoting. Though I don't remember who from, can't be bothered to check. Anyways,

"The first question you should ask is, 'where am I going?'. The second is, 'Who will go with me?' If you ever get these questions in the wrong order you are in trouble".

Very wise sh'it.

The answer to "where am I going?" is not "woman". The ladies want to share in your answer to number 1. In fact, the same goes for making friends.


THere are some really excellent books about masculinity out there, something which could make you feel a bit of a chump for having forked out 5000$ for the latest David DeAngelo CD-set.

The other book I'd recommend is "The way of the superior man" by david deida. It's an amazing book. The guy gets it in a totally spiritual manner.


What would you recommend, book wise?
 

"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.

How to Win Friends, Influence People, and Succeed in a Changing World; Dale Carnegie

That quote is dead-on. Infact, many times when i'm out with women I will speak to them about my life and its direction as being a mission that I am on. And I will explain that the people in my life are part of that mission.
