"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.

Why does my friend pull girls but I can't?

It just doesn't make sense. He's short (bout 5'6", maybe 7), and is a laid back guy, and can get pretty much any women he wants. He's 20 and dating a HB9 that's almost 23. They've been dating for almost 3 years. He was still in highschool when she was in college. There was another girl after him at the same time. I'm taller, better looking, with just as good of a personality, and here I sit... alone. What really gets me is the conversation we had a few weeks earlier about why my boss didn't like me. (We worked at the same place). He said "He didn't like you because you were an @$$hole. I'm just nice to everybody." That keeps re-playing in my head. He doesn't even go out to the bars and drink with people. He just goes to work, comes home and chills with his hot G/F.

I'm kind of lost. Is there something about this DJ thing I'm not getting? I've read the bible, read the posts here and felt pretty confident... with no results. While my friend is basically an AFC in front of my eyes and is laughing his way into bed with good-looking women.
 

"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.

He is happy with himself, while you are not.

Also, being an ******* around your boss is not a good way to earn respect. In some areas of life, it pays to suck up and play dead.

Clearly not.

Yet I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and allow you to explain exactly why you think your personality is better than his.

Yes I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes people just click with each other.

Got lucky??? Well if you believe in luck you'd say that.

Obviously he has a good, positive personality that women find attractive.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I agree. Men have been pulling girls for years without the DJ bible or the PUA stuff. Those rules can easily be violated as long as you have the right frame.

Frame is a really hard thing to explain. Frame is what makes George Clooney spout of a cheesy line and pull a girl while some random dweeb will try the same thing and get blown out. Frame is what makes social interactions dynamic. Sometimes when you are nice to others, people are genuinely impressed. Sometimes when you buy a girl flowers, she is genuinely happy. Do these under the wrong frame, though, and people think that you're trying too hard, or even think that you're creepy.

When you detach yourself from the outcome of a social interaction, you will begin to grow a frame. You'll be non-approval-seeking, and people will think you're cool for some mysterious reason. Blah, I can't explain this all in one post, but I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Very true deacon and what gives one a good frame to work with is his inner confidence. When you are truly comfortable in your own skin and you know what you want out of life, your true personality come out. GENUINE CONFIDENCE is the key factor in anything you will do or strive to do in your life.

If you feel like crap inside then people will perceive you as a creepy person. If you are a very optimistic, happy, fun loving person people will perceive you as cool and thus want to hang out with you. How you feel about yourself is the basic building blocks for how you want to control your life. Not knowing yourself equals not going in a straight direction just simply in circles. You have to believe to understand otherwise you'll disagree and can't comprehend.
