"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're not advocating Dockers and a polo shirt, right?
i advocate the sophisticated, stylish rockstar look.

not retarded kid in a yellow vinyl coat look.
 

"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.

Yes, you can stand out the moment you walk into a crowded bar with just your B/L, actions and/or words, even in Dockers and a Polo.

And yes, I'm speaking from experience.

BTW, I went out on NYE in a black dress shirt and jeans and several people thought I was the owner/manager of the club/bar.

One guy was even convinced that I was "connected" like Tony Soprano

And all of that, without dressing up like some kind of fruit and without trying to achieve that effect.

It's just a by-product of being and looking confident, relaxed and in control.

Of having a "presence" without trying to have one.

Anyone can dress loudly and stand out from the crowd, but standing out from the crowd while dressing in an understated manner is far more effective.

And don't dress like a rockstar unless you actually are one, otherwise, you end up looking like a wannabe try-hard.

Again, too many people looking for a shortcut.

"Peacocking" does not make you anything more than what you already are.

When you went out in a black dress shirt and jeans, did you finish the night by having sex with a model you met that night? When you dress average, there's always going to be someone who is also dressed average but is taller, stronger, better looking, better hair, whatever. If you dress outlandishly, whether furry vest or rockstar style, you're not being compared to better looking guys wearing average stuff. It makes you stand out and puts you in a different class from average guys, that's all.

That said, it's hard to find peacocking clothes on the internet. You can find maybe one or two unique and cool items in each major city in the world; the key to getting good peacocking stuff is travelling. It doesn't have to be furry vests and New Rocks, either. For instance, I have silver shoes from London, gold shoes from Japan, cool jeans from Australia, an awesome jacket from France, etc etc. As Geoff puts it, wear the stuff everybody else wishes they could find.
 

"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.

Mighty defensive about dressing ordinary, Derek, eh?

I dress sharp (not clownish, mind you) because I like to.

Again, Peacocking doesn't make you anything more than what you already are.

But if you want to learn how to apply makeup and dress like a fag, Mystery has a new forum up:

http://www.mysterymethod.com/forum/index.php

Some guys there even promote acting Gay to get women.

BTW, I'm 45 and I routinely bang women 20 years younger than myself, without dressing up like some kind of fag, or wearing makeup, or being a routine-dependent entertainment monkey.

Again, anyone can dress flamboyantly and outlandishly.

That doesn't make you a DJ, or a PUA, but it does make you look like a tryhard wannabe.

I stand out from the crowd with my B/L, my words and my actions, not by wearing stuff purchased in a Gay clothing store.

Peacocking doesn't make you more than what you already are. But if you're already awesome, then it makes you stand out that much more. Nobody's claiming wearing this sh¡t automatically gets you laid, but it makes life that much easier if your internals are set up and you peacock to let everyone know that you're the man.
