"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.

It's summer and I need some reading; it doesn't have to be about girls.

I think I have read the prince, great gatsby, manifesto and found them to my liking. I feel these days that I should not only learn how to score with girls but also grow something deep within and reading some great books (that successful don juans read) will be good for me b/c it fed their minds to become good with not only women, but also life. So give me your best shot fellas. Thanks

"One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way"
Robert Maurer

Helps you to tackle big, seemingly overwhelming tasks or goals by taking tiny initial steps. This method bypasses the fear center of the brain and helps to make life much more manageable.

I can't recommend it highly enough. It has changed my life.

I'm more into history & spy thrillers. My last serious gf & I bonded a lot over books. I'm reading a book called Into the Land of Bones. Its about Alexander the Great and his campaign in Bactria

"Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins. By far the best book Ive read so far. Didn't finish it yet, it got stolen.

"The four hour work week" by Tim Ferriss. Reading it now. It's solid.

Eckhart Tolle is cool too.
 

"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.

I am a Murakami Haruki fan. The Wind-Up Bird Cronicles was amazing. Kafka on the Shore was simply mind blowing.

My Lord, I realize that I'm missing out on a lot as my reading had diminished over the years, or rather, has been replaced by technical manuals.

I'm glad I just got a Kindle. I really want to enjoy some more of the classics and also many of the works you guys have mentioned. Keep 'em coming.

Ever thought about reading a bit of Russian literature (Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Lermontov, etc) if your confident in your literary maturity. Really expands the mind.

One of my favourite books is 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac. That will change your life!
I'm reading Tolstoy's short stories right now, because his novels are too long. He is of course, one of the masters. He can be funny sometimes. Actually I relate to him so much, we have almost the same perspective. He is basically a more traditional, spiritually minded guy surrounded by a society of vain superficial people who, while not stupid, are just not interested in the deeper questions of life.

Never heard of Lermontov. I think Chekov is pretty good, though I haven't read much.

On the Road - cool book but, it's hard to live that way now. Everything is so much more homogenous now and less open. If they did on the road now, they'd be going from strip mall to strip mall.
 

"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.

Excellent book.

Here are my recommendations:

Aleister Crowley: Magick in theory and practice.

Aleister Crowley: Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of The Law). Changed my life.

Get through these and I'll give you a couple more to expand your consciousness.

If it's good enough for Jimmy Page.....
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

You can never go wrong with any classic piece of literature. I am currently reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes. If something like that does not suit your tastes try George R.R. Martin's A Game Of Thrones and the rest of A Song of Fire & Ice, awesome reads.

Don't do it man! You'll get lost! Even they dont know whats going on up there!


Also, anyone knows any books that will wake up from pedestalizing girls and reverse this whole romanticism that I was socially engineered to believe? Other than the Book of Pook? Tucker Max stuff is pretty solid *braces himself for the sh1tstorm* yeah...
