"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jarod Diamond - Just so you don't sound like a ****ing idiot whenever a half assed intelligent conversation breaks out. Though this is a big boy read you won't read this in a week.

Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill- His other book gets the fame but this is the bread and butter here. this book changed my life. But it is literally 1200 pages or so long. But it's worth the read.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand- IMHO the most influential fiction book ever written. I believe every DJ shoudl read this book as I feel that objectivism is DJism.

The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men's Style - This is the style equivalent to the DJ bible. any man who wants to look half ass presentable should own this book.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

People, I appreciate all those suggestions. But I sense a lot of resentment in many of your choices.

Manipulated man?
Venus:The Dark Side?
Explanations about how women are stupid?

Don't forget that we are all humans, hairless monkeys with no tails, playing the game of seduction and love.
There's a thin line between trying to become a better person in this terms and wanting to make people suffer. And when you cross that line that's when you become an *sshole.

manipulated man is actually a really good book. but i agree with your point in general.
 

"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.

Was going to suggest 48 Laws of Power and The Manipulated Man. Those are great.

Another book worth a look is: "Yellow Kid" Weil: The Autobiography of America's Master Swindler

So now recommending books makes one resentful?

Books are meant to educate, if someone became well-informed off of a few of them, why would you then consider that resentful?
I was pointing towards the particular choices from the start.
Of course recommending books is great.
But it stops being great when those books talk about how women are evil creatures of hell.

It sounds like these evil books are just support for Pook's view of a feminized culture that has ruined modern man.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt Edmund Morris

Reads more like a novel than a biography.

I reread this one every few years.
 

"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.

while much of Teddy was admirable, he was another Hitler in the making, at the end.

1.The three mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat
2.The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collinns
3.The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.The kite runner by Khaled Hossieni

And the list goes on...But these books are worth reading..!

I don't know why any fiction would be on the list of "must read". Fiction is for entertainment only.
 

"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.
