"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.

What do you folks think it takes to be another George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, or an Andrew Jackson? Obviously these men were much stronger than people are typically today.
 

"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.

This is true. Also, the whole game of society has changed. That does not mean that it is harder though.

Also, those "elites" are blue blooded, as in oxygen deprived. They are dull, and strive to be perfect. Whatever happened to red blooded people?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Elites have always had family connections. That is the whole point of being an elite. All those men listed were from elite families. They got to the top with connections (via the family).

That is not necessarily true dude. They are many people in history that became prominent people of history without elite family backgrounds, for example Anne Frank-, Confucius, Martin Luther just to name a few (not Martin Luther king) a different martin who argued with the pope, searching for religious truth and creating a new kind of Christianity called Protestantism ...( I have very old book given to me by my uncle that teaches about this fight against the pope)

and many more ppl who are still influential figures.

here are some quotes from ppl that best suites what it takes to be influential

"Confidence, determination, knowledge and interpersonal skills"

"Credibility (reputation) it never hurts to have that on your side and credible
breakthrough ideas or insights that capture the general imagination".

"Consistency and courage."

"This means, you are guided by principles,
that you walk the talk, and that you are not
afraid to listen and consider."

"Integrity. Values. Drive. Passion. Credibility."


"It doesn't take anything, you are influential by nature. Just by being there you influence people, the only thing you need to know is how you do it and the only thing that it takes is to watch and see your impact and change it if needed. You have all the sources in you to be more influential."
 

"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.
