"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Alright, I'm guilty of watching VH1's dating shows. I watched all the Bret Michaels ones, and I recently watched the Daisy of Love one. It was actually an interesting perspective on watching which types of guys the girl went for in the end. Not surprisingly, it was two of the confident, muscular guys and the rocker dude. But damn, some of the guys on there did things that I'm guilty of doing in the past and it's CRAZY how unappealing some of their behavior is. The needy, "but I love you!" behavior was an instant attraction killer (by the way, I think Daisy is fugly but still, I guess most guys would find her appealing...) and watching how the guys who made it to the end acted, it's really cut and dry what type of behavior wins the girl in the end.

I'm watching the premier of that blonde b!tch Megan's show and these guys are a riot. EVERY one is a monstrosity, seriously. If she wasn't a gold digging moron, I might feel bad for her. I love watching their mistakes though...these guys are successful millionaires and I swear to God I could game her better than them. Put me on this show and all's I would have to be is a cool, normal dude, and I'd probably win (although the prize at the end is a worse prize than herpes).

Anyone else watch these shows? They're addictively dumb, and I feel like a tool for watching but I find myself actually watching more how the guys act and what behaviors turn on or off a supposed "HB10"
 

"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.

Yeah,I've seen a few of those shows.

In the Daisy of Love finale,I knew "12-pack" was done for when he told Daisy how he felt for her. I don't remember exactly what he said,(something about either her loves her,or was "in love" with her),but the second he said that,I said to myself,"He's gone".

I think I've see almost all of them:Flavor of love 1,2,and 3,I love New York
1 and 2,Bret Michaels,Real Chance of love,etc.

They're all entertaining,and as far as I know NONE of the so-called "couples" are still together.

I noticed that earlier in the show too. It seemed like anytime a guy expressed his feelings that he liked her, or loved her (come on, how the fvck can you love a girl in such a short time, in front of cameras, when she's banging other dudes in the same house!?) he was booted soon after.

I find myself making this mistake often with girls, thinking that once I get to a certain point in hooking up, I can let my inner pvssy come out and blab on and on about how I like her. And it NEVER ENDS WELL.

The problem wasn't him telling her how he felt,it was how her told her.

For example,if you're dating a girl,and she wants to know how you feel about her,you shouldn't say,"I want to be with you". Instead,you should say,"I WANT you to be with me".

I wouldn't say to a woman,"You're hot" or "You're beautiful". Instead,I'd say,"I like that dress" or "I like the way you look in that".

The emphasis should be on YOU. On your desire,what YOU like.

12-pack's response to Daisy asking him how he felt about her put the focus on her. He unintentionally put her on a pedistal.

And of course,we all know how that turns out.

I saw it and I think really it was just the situation that messed him up. The other two were arguing over Daisy and of course 12 pack was just sitting back and letting them fight so that they would look bad in front of her. Only thing is that he got put on the spot and choked. If he had went on and told her with confidence he liked her, I think he would have won because the other two seemed too interested in fighting each other than her. Nothing is wrong with being the alpha male, but when you get more interested in fighting and keeping your woman like a trophy on the shelf, that's when you mess up. But truthfully though, I think it was over as soon as London showed up since he was the same type of guy she had always got with. One thing I have learned is that women never wise up until there is some weird emotional transformation: even then it's hard to take that seriously.
 

"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.

This sh!t is on about 4 of the TVs at the gym when I go in the evenings. I've never actually listened to Daisy or Brett, but the semantics and body language of the cast are fascinating to me. The posturing, the peacocking and the feigned disinterest is laughable. Anyone thinking there's any 'reality' to these shows needs to switch back to the infomercial channels - this sh!t is scripted down to the last episode a year in advance.

Watching crap like this is like eating fast food; it looks good when you're hungry, it's tasty when you eat it, but you feel like sh!t afterwards and think, why did I think that was a good idea?

I was about to start a thread about the Megan show and then I saw this one.

This is from Wikipedia:

Megan Wants a Millionaire is a reality television show on VH1 in which Megan Hauserman has seventeen wealthy single men compete for her love.[2] The show originated from a comment made by Hauserman during an episode of Rock of Love: Charm School, in which she stated that she ideally would like to become a "Trophy Wife".[3]

In the casting process for this series, VH1 asks for single men with a net worth of over $1,000,000.


Megan is your average tall blonde bimbo with big tits. If a guy is rich, women like this are a dime a dozen. If you are rich the pvssy comes to you. The women compete for you. For some reason they picked some millionaires whose lack of game was painful to watch. But even these guys only have to go into a club, flash some hundreds around and ask some HB10s if they want to go home and have sex with them.

What would motivate a guy who is a millionaire to compete for a woman like this? Help me, this hurt my brain.

Reality TV is crap to me

it's all just a bunch of drama and chaos. I don't see how people can enjoy watching other act like idiots. There is nothing real about it. it's as fake as WWE, if not faker.

but to each is own i suppose

Though i must admit i am guilty of tuning into that one Tila Tequila show once or twice. lol if not only to see hot chicks mess with each other

Unreal isn't it?? What the HELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! are these guys getting out of this besides an average looking, blonde, gold digger?? And they're all trying to outbid each other for her affection. Seriously, drop a few thousand for a prostitute and be done with it.

These shows can be entertaining as hell even though I know it's complete garbage. We all know they are selectively edited, but I just wonder if these shows are all scripted.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Everyone is on these shows for 15 min of fame and to get their own show. Garbage. My girlfriend watches these shows and it makes my brain hurt.
