War Against Betaism
Master Don Juan
When did you ever get the idea I said it was a necessity?
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.
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.
Well...War Against Betaism said:When did you ever get the idea I said it was a necessity?
And,War Against Betaism said:A lot of people are going to ridicule you for resorting to alcohol on this site, but the fact remains alcohol can help your game. The past couple of parties I've experienced a lot of success when I was buzzed. Alcohol eases your tension and nervousness, and you become a better socializer and you'll be better at flirting.
Also to those who have trouble keeping eye contact, that's another thing alcohol will diminish. You're not even going to realize that you're staring directly into her eyes and eye contact is extremely important when interacting with another woman.
And then,War Against Betaism said:Using alcohol seems cheap to most people here but if it's at a party, you're most likely going to drink alcohol anyways. Plus, in the long run it can help with your confidence. For most people the other parts of their games are fine, just need some fine tuning, but what's stopping them from accelerating their improvement is the approach. When you consume alcohol you skip that step. If you're consistently skipping this step you'll be able to calibrate and fine tune the other parts of your game at a much faster rate. Your other parts of your game might even improve to the point where the first step, the approach, gets overlapped because you have strong social proof already, or you're just that confident.
It's pretty universally known that alcohol is a resort men use to game on women. Though people get the wrong idea on how to handle it. Some of my friends INTENTIONALLY act drunk, fall on the floor, act as if they're about to throw up, when really they're just buzzed to get attention from women. Others just plain act stupid. Though getting tipsy is the perfect balance that will make your experience at the party more enjoyable and getting women.
There's more but I got tire of quoting each one of your responses. Plus you never said it wasn't a necessity, all you've said is how it personally helps you. So, outside it being a necessity for you at least to feel more confident, are you saying that it isn't really a necessity?War Against Betaism said:My opinion is of course that consuming enough alcohol to make you a little bit tipsy will greatly help your game. I'm not talking about getting flat out wasted, do people even read the original post or do they just read the topic title? It's all about finding the perfect balance, one person suggested early they take a shot of 151 bacardi along with another shot of something else, I find that a perfect balance (depending on your tolerance level though). Speaking from experience when I achieve this perfect balance I become a lot more flirty, a better socializer, and I'm not afraid to completely and thoroughly follow my gameplan. I spoke in a zen like analogy because people are making reference to finding the true DJ within or else we'll never achieve true internal DJness.
There, I fixed it. You have to understand that it all sounded the same.War Against Betaism said:First off, you quoted the same quote twice. You're not that old.
Ohhhhhh... So... YOU need alcohol in order to feel confident and comfortable around women and YOU use it to skip steps in order to get ahead without spending the time learning to be confident without the use of alcohol BUT it's not necessary if you don't want to use it as a crutch like the way that you're using it. Gotcha...War Against Betaism said:Secondly, I don't understand anywhere in those posts that indicates where I required it. All I did indicate was that it helped me. I didn't say it wasn't a necessity and I never said it was, I don't understand where you got the idea that I said it was. Again, you're not that old.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
That's exactly my point.SinJester said:I can see where he is coming from. If alcahol helps you game then you can get confidence from learning that YOU can get girls. Then the next step is doing it without the confidence coming from a certain liquid.
Kind of how it worked for me, strangely enough...
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
That you don't need to depend on alcohol?War Against Betaism said:That's exactly my point.
Like I said earlier, whatever crutch holds you up.War Against Betaism said:No, I honestly don't know how you could miss that. That alcohol can assist you if taken in moderation.
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.
We cyclist sometimes use a device for hydration called a Camelbak which is a backpack with a bladder in it connected to a tube that you stick in your mouth so you can always have easy access to fluids. Some can hold up to 9 liters so maybe that's an option for guys who need that extra something something when they are just out and about and a bar isn't nearby. Plus they have pockets so you can carry along your dogeared copy of "The Game" and any other crib sheets of openers you may need.reset said:Isn't that what flasks are for?
LOL! Wow that's quite an image.Francisco d'Anconia said:We cyclist sometimes use a device for hydration called a Camelbak which is a backpack with a bladder in it connected to a tube that you stick in your mouth so you can always have easy access to fluids.

Who's stronger, a man with using a crutch or one who stands using his own power? Wait, here's a better question, if you could choose who would you rather be, a man who was confident to approach women in any situation without needing a drink or a man who needs to drink to have the same level of confidence?ILikeGirls<3 said:...Finally, this could be the one thing that will make the difference between getting laid and not getting laid at this party tonight. And I don't feel guilty at all that it helps me, whose to say its "wrong" or a "crutch"? Thats being overly judgmental of something minor in my opinion.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
