"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
What books worked for you and what books did not?

"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.

^ Franco is a psychologist who is also a PUA. So the first 100 pages or so of his book - cover exactly what triggers women emotionally, why it triggers them, and how to trigger them. I really had an eye-opening experience reading his work; it improved my abilities with women and understanding what they wanted tenfold!
Daniel Rose - The Sex God Method
^ For people looking to have long term partners. Teaches you how to lock down a woman through amazing sex (you can almost not care about passing sh!t test, etc. as you really get inside a woman's head doing this stuff). Teaches you the 4 elements of being a good alpha male in bed, which is : domination, emotion, emmersion, and creativity.
the only one you'll need. It is different from anything I've read, and it's the perfect size. 200-300 pages or so as I remember. I went through it in under a week.
"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.

-Jay Abraham (this is marketing/sales). His stuff is killer....but you have to read/listen to it a lot, takes repetition.
He's said...(paraphrasing) "its taken me 25 years working X hours a day to learn what I know...to think you can learn it in one reading is delusional".
Mastermind Marketing
eX! Factor
And some other seminars that are more advanced. "How to get from where you are to where you want to be" is excellent. A 6 week coaching course. He walks you through the first steps in forming a business strategy. Then through his methodology. Then at the end, he finalizes your optimal strategy. I've never heard anything like it in business or in marketing. It's so clear and powerful. Probably his best course.
-Tony Robbins, NLP, etc I've gotten away from. I was on a Tony Robbins kick for awhile a few years ago...did personal power, UPW (his seminar). Too hyped up, too "must" oriented. I dont work like that. Maybe for some people it works. But havent seen anything new or exciting in personal development/nlp.
-If you want to be really smart and well read, theres a reading list in the back of Charlie Mungers book, Poor Charlies Alamanck. Munger is Warren Buffetts partner and a billionaire.
It includes Cialdini's Influence, a bunch of books...books about Darwin, some big biographies of Rockefeller, Ben Franklin.
Guns, Germs and Steel. Pretty much a must read. Top 15 or 20 worldly books.
How the Scots invented the modern world. A lot of worldly books you might not see otherwise. I've read maybe 8 from his list. But a good worldly education. Impress your friends, haha.
-Investing/economy/finance. Mostly Jim Rogers.
He predicted alot of his current mess. Some finance guys either get too technical, too crazy/religious (like gold bugs), or have too much self interest to be objective (peter schiff, who I think is generally right, but too much self interest/promotion). Then there are others who have mised the boat entirely (they're too US centric). Barton Biggs, John Bogle. They tell you to buy mutual funds, low cost! But that doesnt do you much good in a bear market, or flat market.
The investing world gets interesting as you get older, have more money, and understand the market better. There are always opportunities. So always keep learning.
And Snowball, the hot Warren Buffett book. Bought it, havent read all of it (900 pages!!). But any 5 star Buffett book is a must read. You'd be crazy to pass it up.
Havent seen much else lately.

I think that Secrets of the Alpha Male by Carlos Xuma is a much better insight into the idea of becoming an Alpha Male. Not to mention his audio CDs that go along with it.snowdog said:
Xuma has many books, CDs, and DVDs that are all very amazing and helpful. The guy is great. He makes you feel like he's your best friend the entire time.
"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.
