"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.

Status people have access to other status people. You can be hotter than Callum Turner, he could be a 7 and you could a 9, still, you're a nobody, Dua Lipa might compliment you and move on. For her Callum Turner is a real good catch and vice versa, Dua Lipa is a great catch for Callum Turner.

High level celebs.

It's beyond looks there, it's status, and obviously money, which don't automatically equate to status.
dude - dreaming.
Dua Lipa like has more money and status than Callum Turner . He’s not a 7/10 :rolleyes:LMAO
he’s Top Tier guy in Looks bro. LOOKS.
He’s a 9-10/10.
For all purposes he’s a 10/10 for the mass consensus of women.
 

"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.

She might have a stash of his under wear photos from the days he was modelling, she might have infatuated him as a girl, you never know,.

Oh I see it now.

"do you mean connecting and investing in her mind first? Before expecting her to invest in your c0ck?"

Apologies I meant no offense...i was actually reiterating a quote another well-respected member made awhile back. Which I and several others agreed with and I have never forgotten.



It was a general statement, not related to you personally.
Yes, I know it wasn’t related to me personally. No worries. You might remember from my years as a mod here that I always used to say that this place is toxic for women because it makes women become too much like us. They start using our cruder phrases and develop our way of thinking and expression, and this is not a healthy thing. Call me old-fashioned but I bristle at crude language coming from women. I think this is true of most men, although the societal sample represented here may have a higher concentration of men who don’t mind.

@Atom Smasher I don't disagree and don't use such language IRL (except with my boyfriend during private moments when warranted ;)) I am actually quite reserved, well mannered and soft-spoken if you knew me..

I also don't disagree that in some ways this forum is a bit toxic for me while at the same time I have learned a lot from the men here too (and other female member).

I am pretty solid internally with who I am (I wasn't always but am now) and thankfully it doesn't negatively impact my way of thinking and/or living my life including relationships.

It's all good, appreciate your thoughts!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Unfortunately, I don't disagree with this. But it is certainly not the advice I gravitated towards as a blue pill guy fresh out of a nasty divorce and it most definitely is not what I have preached to other guys either going through that same struggle I was or who just wanted to know the best way to get laid here over the years. I think we can all agree that getting a good physique helps and that is why you go to the gym. Also, having $$ of course helps. No one has ever denied those things and "getting into the gym and getting your career going/improving it" is good, not bad, advice. We have had posters, many in fact, over the years who are hyper-fixated on looks and money and even some who go as far to say it is "all" that matters. Wrong.

To think that is "all" it comes down to when it comes to attracting women is missing half (maybe more) of the picture. If you think swag is completely irrelevant when it comes to picking up women you are dead wrong. And it isn't some cheap PUA tactic. It comes from confidence and knowing how to handle human beings with your charisma (not only women). That is what forges connections -- romantic and otherwise.

CJ, like other black pill posters before him, is seemingly missing this point.
not a chance it is 50% of the pie buddy .
Not a snowballs chance in hell.
Way off mate.

Dude come on now... really? I wouldn't go for him but hey if YOU would more power to ya man.. lol :rofl: :p

It’s hard to gauge his height and physical frame there. It’s not a great picture.
And he didn’t pull her w his status and money elements as she has more than him.
He is still Top Tier.
I mean. He HAS to be ? He moved up and into her Top Tier circle. I guess theyd have bonded over showbiz etc but his looks would have been paramount. She’s super high value and would have been picky AF.

btw he has a Richard Gere type face / eyes.
And you know Richard Gere is up there 10/10
in terms of sex appeal. Gimme a break :rolleyes:

In fact I’d argue that type of face is the most sought after tbh. 100%
My Natural friend , slayer/pvssy magnet guy had the same face. Richard Gere / Harrison Ford ratios and eyes also.

yknow . Basically “Chad-faced” aka Top Tier .
It’s inarguable guys , you’re coping so hard here.

hahaha. Not sure if I detect sarcasm.
As you’re proving my point he’s a 10/10.
So you’re on team . Thanks for the props brother :)

I am not trying to argue, and if this is your opinion, that’s fine. But if you acknowledge that money and status can compensate for looks, why are you so fixated on looksmaxxing while overlooking other ways men can become socially desirable?

Like the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome.


Would you then say that OP is wrong about the forum, when most of the advice here already agrees with what he is saying? lol
because .. going the road of money and status is the much ,much HARDER road. To change those buckets of value with enough significance to move the needle.
It only compensates when there is a LOT of it.
And that’s the Long Term strategy anyway.

And then if I were to attract a woman that way - the relationship is more of a trade ?
Her looks for my money and status value.
It’s a glorified prostitution arrangement basically.

And in that light it’s less effort and less expenditure to use an actual good looking prostitute.
There is minimal attraction her side either way there. But I wouldn’t lose 50% of my hard earned money in the divorce .

so you see all roads do NOT lead to Rome.

so this EverythingMaxxing approach is a stupid strategy.

when it’s mostly 80-90% a guys Looks that gets attraction and gets him laid. OBVIOUSLY.
So just apply most of the effort to LM strategies.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You've made several posts about looks, personality, and rating people - most of which were within the last week.

Is there a point you're trying to achieve?
I’ve already explained it in the thread. In various replies. Such as this one to Atom Smasher

its a debate mate.

There’s a lot of bullsh1t thrown around about how much ‘game’ is a factor in getting women and how much improvement a guy needs to do - in ALL areas to get women.

Atom smasher -it’s about how a guy makes a woman FEEL, not so much his looks. (He states he discovered this in his 50s btw :rolleyes:)

Barrister says behavioural game and ‘charisma is half the causation of getting women ,the 50% alongside Looks.

and others will say it’s every dimension of a guy goes into the causation. He must EverythingMaxx and keep improving until ‘Excellence’ is achieved (?)

I’m saying it’s for the majority % it’s Looks - about 80-90% and a guys behavioural game or his approach ,conversation, rapport skills. personality and Charisma is the most minimal remaining factor.
It may as well be rounded up to 100% of Looks. only.

And you BPH would be a perfect example of that.
You just leverage your Looks, and have low key ‘normal’ conversations ( aka ‘fluff talk’), have drinks , both parties get tipsy and then escalate , bounce and close.

Your game is Looksmaxxing.
Not money maxxing.
Not working on 25 dimensions of personality.
Not mad rapport building.
Not making a woman FEEL xyz.
And not 50% of something else of mad charisma and mad social connecting skills doing the lifting alongside looks.


Cos that’s just reality and the way it is.

So you’re in my camp now.
Hi five buddy! :D:cool:

and the other point is Callum Turner is a Top Tier Looking guy. Not a 7/10 as a few members here believe.

Dudes underrate other dudes Looks.
And overrate their own.
So the gap looks narrower and they can cope that it’s personality and charisma that is the swing factor, and they can perhaps pull a similar calibre of women someday. Which aint true.

so those 2 points tie together obvs.

I don't agree with you on this one, but I'm going to see the girl from my LR, so I'll have to write out a detailed response later.
