"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.
Who are your role models?
- Thread starter Michael Chief
- Start date
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"whats up? 1....2....3.... whats up?"
damn funny..
i think technically, chris kattan's character is probably slightly more "dj" but they are both bumbling AFC's...
great movie..
very hard to have a character for a role model i think.. and i really don't know whats the deal with all the anime/games guys..
the character i enjoyed watching most was mel gibson in lethal weapon 1. best display of the "don't give a ****" attitude that i've seen..
also, i was watching a bit of "a clockwork orange" this afternoon. and the lead guy in that is pretty smooth.
In life though, its hard to look past whatever team you most supports star player isn't it? and probably even more so, just the best player in your favourite sport.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
My only idol is my dad. Sure, there's plenty of cool people that can make me laugh, kick ass, look like a badass, but the only person I would want to be like is my dad.

i cant belive no one has mentioned a true don juan,
Johnny Depp
, he is awesome"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.

You need to stop taking things so seriously. I'm being really light here, told you who I think is cool, not who I exactly want to be like (since they are fictional).
Real role models?
- My DAD; he's totally badass with crazy backbone, courage to take on anything, and will do anything for our family. He's also built and has the best taste in everything. Also managed to hook up with the hottest girl back then, who's now my mom. My dad pwnz. Total Alpha. He's the most respectable man I've ever seen.
- My UNCLE; age 39 and not married, doesn't believe in marriage. He's dating over 30 girls right now. A total pimp. He's got the craziest game EVER. But that's not what makes me want to be like him, it's the fact that he has amazing confidence. He's a pilot, and 15 years he suffered a real crazy accident which left his arm and the top of his head completely burnt / deformed; but that didn't slow him down and doesn't slow him down today. He's one of the most respectable man in the city.
My goal is to be better than both of them.

My fault, I apparently mis-read the thread's title. Apparently "role models" is pronounced "fictional video game people I think are cool".
Definitely, he's one of my role models. he's too cool for words... :woo:Originally posted by FriendlyFriend

Bruce Lee is another.
And the last one is me! i'm aiming to be a more confident/assertive/laid back type of guy, altho change doesnt happen overnight, im aiming towards it.
In a real sense, myself, and Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods, not because he'd be the first billion dollar athlete, and not because he's solely responsible for changing golf and making it "cool", but because he has no yard stick. His role models are his parents and the greats of the game are only a goal to beat. If he had role models, he'd have limitations. He's constantly getting better, he gives his best, and never measures that by what other people think or have done.

"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.

I bear many, many similarities to Jesus Christ.

Oh, please... you know I'm your role model. Me and Jesus.

"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.
