"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.

Howdy. 20 years old, university student, never had a girlfriend, hell, never been kissed.

No physical problems, 5'11, 155 lbs. Lean, but not really muscular or anything.

Anyways, the problem I'm having is that the only members of the opposite sex that have ever shown any interest in me are all ugly, fat or both. As a result, my confidence has been slowly degrading over the years. It seems as though I should be getting girls in the middle of the quality scale, but the only ones that have ever shown interest were bottom of the barrel.

It's getting to the point where I'm starting to get desperate and I have a feeling I'm going to settle for less and never be happy. It isn't like I have unreachable standards by any means, and the fact that people are always surprised to hear I don't/never had a girlfriend kind of makes me feel a little better.

It seems as though I've tried everything on my end from funny to quiet to outgoing to ****y and nothing seems to work. I can't shake this feeling that I have this horrible flaw that only I can't see.

Just wondering if anybody has ever been in this situation and if they have any advice.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Sounds like your biggest problem. Pathetic. Put on some pounds you lanky bastard.
 

"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.

Having self confidence governed by others is sort of like being a small boat in the middle of the ocean. You don't have any control over what happens, you are at the mercy of the environment. While a submarine (or some one with a deep self confidence) is not affected quite so much because it doesn't worry about the surface (how people treat or interact with you).

Desperation is the worlds worst cologne. You'd probably have better luck if you rubbed yourself with trash. You are the prize, the sooner you get that ideology, the sooner your confidence will soar.

You need to squash that feeling. Champions do not go in to a championship thinking they have no chance. They KNOW they will win. Even if you fail, at least you tried.


As others have said, read the bible. It works well for gaining confidence. Especially Pook, Senor Fingers and some others.

Do you have anything in common with these women you are interested in?

Haha, wake up kid - The Matrix has you!!! Men do not attract women - they attract us - pursue that which you seek and see as fair-seeming!!!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
