"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 is it that you are the "prize" ?

How are you different from another average guy? What makes you special?

I don't understand by what justification you should act high status if you are just another guy.

I honestly think that if you want to act more than average than you should BE more than average.

Just having attitude that you are the prize makes you FALSELY believe that you are the prize and it may attract women, but it won't be based on the truth.

Its like forcing yourself to believe that you can fly.
 

"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.

Who says we can't fly ?? It's just a belief that's been hammered into your mindset since you were a kid by society, does that mean that you REALLY can't fly ?? Just means you don't believe it and hence will never try it without that lingering doubt which will keep you from achieving...

--
I am the prize because I am the only me in this world. Rarity = Value.

Are you really saying that believing you can't fly is a limiting belief? :D

I've tried flying and I have scars to prove it :p Guess I didn't believe it enough...

Right. There are a variety of principles to the art of the Don Juan that have been somewhat forgotten over the years.

Here are two of the major ones:

  • A DJ sets himself apart from the competition. He doesn't pretend to be the competition.
  • A DJ creates his own game. He doesn't play by the rules established by other people.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You can FLY.Just maybe not like you expected.Take planes for example.Sure we all want to fly without machines or restraint,but that's just not in the cards for us humans.We worked with what we had to get a result we were happy with.That's what dating and the "Don Juan attitude" is all about.

Great thread.

The idea of being a prize is one the biggest misconceptions around here. Finding a website doesnt make anyone a prize, or better than the guys around them. Yes we are all unique, but the keyword there is all. We were all unique before we found this site too. No one will argue that we cant all fly. The difference lies between those who will take the risk to try and those who wont.

Personally I love the self-improvement faction of this website more than the PUA side. I knew how to pick up girls before I found this site and cant say that I've really learned much since except maybe that my qualifications have gotten higher. I take that as a side effect of improving my life more than anything though.

I completely agree that you should strive for actually being the prize instead of pretending. Pretending to be something special to get laid is another form of supplication to women. Being something special and not having to brag about it is a whole different world of confidence.

how could you possibly know you can't fly if you've never tried eh?

forget science, common sense, drummed in facts; all the BS

you won't know yourself for sure unless you try it.









P.S. ffs DON't try it

So how about we twist this thread a bit and put your money where your mouth is, we did a similar thread on mstery's lounge long time ago

WHAT ABOUT YOU MAKES YOU THE PRIZE? LIST IT

Example Me:

I speak and write in Russian
I am able to handle a woman in bed
I am a great dancer and kisser
I love reading Self Imporvement books and trying to make myself better
I am a bartender / know plenty of drinks
I am attractive, tall and in shape.
I read many books, dont mind theater, enjoy pop culture to some extent and can discuss many intelligent matters
I am FUN. I Am ****ing FUN because I continuosuly do things that other people are scared to. I say what I mean and am not afraid to speak the truth.


Your turn.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

To the guys who keep posting about flying, Stop hijacking this thread with the flying ****, already.

Showing that you are not affected by anything, and showing a higher value will make you a prize, atleast in her eyes.

In 42 years of life Elvis Presley attained Legend Status, John Lennon did the same in an even shorter life that lasted only 40 years, my own Grandma is still alive at 85, she has lived more years than these two Rock Legends lives added together, yet no one outside of her small group of family and freinds have ever heard about her, WHY is this the case, the reason is that both Elvis and John desired to be great, they fully beleived in themselves, then did the work required to acheive their status, where as my Grandma settled for the normal life not even thinking that she could attain this type of fame.
In the same way you can't fly like a bird because you don't fully beleive that you are capable of doing this, if several humans who you know very well all of a sudden began to fly you too would begin to do this because you would beleive that you can 100%.
Humans can fly, they don't do it though because their own brains are stopping it from happening, which is very sad for all of us. :yes:

This is another one of those stupid concepts that the DJ bible preaches. alot of people buy it, some how it appeals to most people on here, and they think such an attitude will increase their chances with women.

Its all part of the big lie the Bible pushes, you know, the DJ dream, the idea that you can get any woman you want if you follow the bible, and od your game right. Truth is, no one can get every woman. Most men will only be able to get a small fraction at best. Its all very unrealistic.

I have a very realistic viewpoint in women and dating, this is why I actually have an edge over most men. Accurate infromation is advantageous. call me a realist.

Your turn.
I think truly being the 'prize' and having confidence comes from knowing that even without all this stuff (see above) you are still a great person. :rock:

better question: what makes HER the prize? great, shes got tits and a bouncin booty. so do 500 million other chicks :p

You think you arent the prize and she is? shes the same as every other girl, just a pretty face and nice body. I think we guys have a much better chance to be unique and "prize-worthy", because we have things going in our life besides our looks. so since shes the same as every other girl, you may as well just accept your place, and be the prize

place to place.
the way i think of becoming the prize, is by being a man who follows his heart and dreams. i have ample opportunity to go to university and get a degree and then get a pretty comfy job but university isn't going anywhere, it won't spead its wings and fly away. on the other hand if you don't pursue your dreams they will fade away. i know millions of people are looking for a record deal and i know how hard it is to get one. but i'm going for it because i love my guitar. it's not about the money or fame that most people are seeking. it's about getting the job i love. even if i was a one hit wonder. i would be able to die happy because for that one year i did something i loved that everybody said couldn't be done.
i think that is why my woman thinks of me as the prize because i am not afraid to fail at something that makes me happy.

when you have potential to be great and utilize your greatest assets. no woman will stand back and watch. they will want to come for the ride. that is when you know you are the prize.

If you're gonna act like the prize, you better BE the prize.

I consider myself the prize for these reasons:

-I am very mature and knowledgeable for my age (18)
-I am a very, very virtuous, upstanding person, always trying to do the right thing
-I am honest, which you cant say about most people
-I am very confident with myself
-I am really really damn amusing
-Overall I'm just a really cool kid.

Now, that was just a very short list. There are a bunch of other reasons. I have a lot of talents, I'm smart, I'm interesting, and I'm damn funny.

Oh, and I'm really good in bed

I think that should be plenty. In order to be the prize, you ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE THE PRIZE, AND HAVE SOME SORT OF GOOD PERSONALITY TRAITS AS WELL AS BE GOOD LOOKING

You are the prize because women are a dime a dozen and you age like fine wine while women wither away. She should do everything possible to get herself a strong man before her doomsday comes (~age 27+). Women being extra picky and that is horsesh1t and they end up marrying some doofus go no where prick.

You're the prize because you FAR outlast a woman. It doesn't matter if you die sooner than they do because you have QUALITY years far exceeding them.

I don't know about you, but the reason I can't fly is because I don't have wings or the ability to move my arms up and down reeeal fast...:rolleyes:

I get the metaphor, you guys just put it out there so literally :)

I personally think that "im the prize" mindset is all for self-defense. The DJ bible teaches you this so that approaching girls would be easier(its easier to appraoch someone when you know that you are better than them.) and so when you get rejected itll be alot easier to handle. How can you be the prize when you arent sh!t right? Its all interdependence UNTIL you somehow ARE an actual prize meaning that you are great at something besides DLing porn and whacking off to it.
 

"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.
