"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.

I must say he is a very good public speaker and entertainer. He talks well and has good theory. A lot of the books he presents during his lecture are ones I've read (including the Art of Seduction written by the same author as the 48 Laws of Power).

He has his game down. I notice his personal style is very similar to mine so I feel I will be able to incorporate the many awesome lines he has into my own game.

I was very impressed overall with his lecture thing and I would recommend Double Your Dating stuff to anyone. Its really not for everyone though. Some people who are in the deep AFC mode and are too shy to handle themselves around people in general much less women would never be able to pull off his ****y+funny lines nor a lot of his other material.

I think the body language and non-verbal aspects of communication are often ignored or not touched upon deeply on these forums and other places yet are so important. A line that doesn't look so hot when posted on a forum may just be the line of the month if delivered properly.

I'll be honest, I was skeptical going into it and watching these things but now I'd say I'd give him a thumbs up.

The best parts of his lecture I think were when he talked about the attitude people have. Its all about that whole "I need this girl" and seeking her approval thing. I think its one of the hardest things to shed for most guys, especially those who are new at this.

A lot of guys have the attitude that the girl they want is it. I have some AFC friends who say they don't wanna go sarge cause they dont want to meet random women they just want that one that they really like. I always ask how are you going to be able to talk to the one you like if you don't know how, then you'll just make a bunch of rookie mistakes and screw up your chances where a little practice wouldve gone a long way.

I think David captures the right attitude for picking up girls and keeping them interested, in the way that they should be fighting for your approval rather than you for theirs.

I also loved how he mentioned something 95% of guys do and that is ask questions like "do you have a boyfriend?" and "can I take you out?" where as the more suave ways would've been to ask her if she's single for example. Big difference between asking her if she has a bf and asking her she's single, because the implication in the former is if she doesnt maybe she will let you be her bf, where as in the ladder the implication is if she isnt single you dont want to talk to her (as if youre the selector).

So yeah, some powerful stuff. Check it out guys if you can.
 

"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.

I've seen video 3 and 5...out of 5. each one is like 2 hours long D=

it's good to have a visual on some of the stuff to, and just seeing the guys that actually say this stuff. I mean most of them aren't all that good looking yet have many numbers and dates.

I've watched all but 3 and 6. So far, 5 is my favorite just because you really get to see some of his DJ friends, like that huge ass buff guy eric. Just look at how divergent their styles are.

All in all some amazing stuff, I don't know why he gets panned by some people out there.

The one I saw was a 6 part series. It was part of double your dating I think and he seemed to have a lot of his friends in the crowd.

My favorite episodes were 4 (which talked about handling rejection and just the general assertive attitude) and 5 (which dealt mostly with ****y+funny).

Of course every episode had something good in it and I'd recommend anyone with some time to watch them all. They are 2 hours each.

Some people I guess just find his style as really bad. One of my friends who saw it couldn't really relate to a lot of his material but still found some gems he could use. If you are more outgoing and his style seems natural to you I think you will like it more than if you can't picture yourself doing what he's doing.

Exactly. The cliche "practice makes perfect" applies to many things in life--and interaction with females is absolutely one of them.

The more interaction you have, the more OPTIONS you'll have, and we all know that the more options you have, the less desperate you'll appear.

And so begins the "cycle of confidence."
 

"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.
