"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.

Will you guys help a 3/10 get a date?

"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.

sorry mate. but that's women rate me. so i guess it sticked
If you're rating yourself like that, you need to focus on building your self confidence. I'm not some kind of Rico Suave, but I know I've come a long way in the past few years. Used to suffer from major depression but now I feel pretty secure and confident in myself. Self improvement is my favorite hobby. Set small goals for yourself in all aspects of your life and work towards them every day. Work out, learn an instrument, try to get a better job or promotion. Quit a bad habit. Something, anything. As you achieve these goals you will start to value yourself much more.

but what if women see you like that. is it game over?
 

"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.

Have you read the DJ Bible? Especially the works of Pook? You need to see yourself as a catch. Don't pedestal women. Pedestal yourself. Girls are attracted to confidence. Sure, physical appearance helps out, but you can be a good looking guy and get nowhere with women if you have no self confidence. What's the context behind you being rated a 3 anyways? How many women said that? And in what setting?

mostly online dating, social networks: Facebook, Tinder etc. Lots of women. Yes the words of Pook are inspiring but i was wondering if he was including guys like myself when he made the Book Of Pook.

The Book of Pook is for everyone. Also, it sounds like you might be directly asking these women to rate you, which isn't something a confident guy would do, resulting in a lower score. Because women like confidence. Even if you aren't the best looking guy, you can do things to improve your physical appearance if that is what you are really concerned about. Get in shape. Workout, diet and stick to it. Dress nicely. Get a good haircut. Maybe these could be small things to help you boost your confidence.

Also, it's all a numbers game. I bang maybe 1 out of 100 chicks I approach. Guys that are really good? Maybe 10-15 out of 100. The more you do it, the more numb you'll become to rejection, and the better your game will get.

Example:
1% bang rate
500 approaches - 495 rejections. But 5 more notches on the bedpost;)

depends on why you're a 3/10

if you're like 4'4 then good luck

if you're fat then you can lose weight and get buff in the gym instead

if you're bald then you can shave your head and make it work

if you've got acne then there's all sorts of expensive chemicals you can rub on your face for that

if you're broke you can get a job

if you've got a bad sense of style you can get a stylish friend or ask us stylish DJs to recommend you some suave wardrobe choices

if you've got a terrible personality, you can work on that, fix your anger issues or insecurities or whatever, learn to tell some good jokes, etc.

if you're boring you can read some books, watch some shows and get good at telling jokes to become more interesting

if you're ugly for reasons not mentioned above then save up for plastic surgery

if you're not really a 3/10 and it's all in your head then post your pic so we can give you compliments with a "no homo" disclaimer attached to build up your self esteem

this has been a comprehensive guide to self improvement by yours truly
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You care too much about others' opinions. And worse still, you derive your value and your intrinsic sense of
worth from their opinions. I can almost guarantee this is emancipating from your pores and your very being.

Check out David X........he hasn't let his unsightly physical appearance stop him

watch "be relentless" for a bit of an attitude adjustment

Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn't work on your physical........but sort out your mentality at the same time

Loot at this poor bastard.....no legs no arms..........he's married.......and a motivational speaker...

This is the crux of your problem. You are focused on how others perceive you, rather than how you perceive yourself. Flip the script and you'll notice results immediately.

Game is 90% what you think and 10% what you do.

Mick jagger is an ugly mofo but he enters every room with confidence. Women will notice your confidence and your swagger even if you say you are a 3 out of 10. If you command the room and if you walk tall snd learn how to carry yourself you would be surprised how your 3 will jump to a 6 or 7 in no time. Read the don juan bible. Work on cold approaching. Build your confidence
 

"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.

495/500 rejections. That must hurt a lot.

When you are depressed (3/10) I guess you need to feel to be able to move forward (some success), not to feel burning rejection 500 times. The inner game advice here is rock solid, but probably not actionable for him. I would try to increase the probability by being smart about it. Determine your best skill. Eliminate those skills not shared by women. Improve your skill further. Let's say you speak french. Determine your skill level and join the next course (even if it is a bloody beginner's course). Pro: Give a course.

You read the interest level of the other female participants. Ask the girl out with the highest interest level (smiles, questions, body language). If necessary move on to the next and the next and the next girl. Maybe you want to ask for coffee (small investment). It is probably not the most alpha way of doing things, but I guess a small success is better than none. Get the number. Wait a couple of days. Ask her out, must not even be coffee. Date.

Wanting to be on a date is kinda pathetic. Girls think like that. You should want to be getting laid. Dating is for guys who don't know any better way to get sex.
What do you do (I mean you personally) instead of go on dates?

Girls who are the most down to fvck don't want dinner and a movie. It's boring, cheesy, and a waste of time and money. They typically want to meet you in a public place like a bar, have two drinks, and then go back to either her place or yours. The dating ritual is not about sex, it is about showing you are a good provider, which is what women traditionally had to trade for sex. Now that women work, they don't need men as providers. Many women still want that, though. They are the ones asking you what you do for a living as soon as you say hello, and trying to get you to buy them dinner. Girls who want to date don't want to fvck, they want to interview husband candidates.

It is actionable. You need to have the mindset that anything is achievable if you work hard enough at it, like the guy without arms and legs in the video Reykhel posted. There is a Japanese Proverb that goes: "fall down seven times, stand up eight." Seriously, he needs to get rejected. Again and again and again. So he can go from the point where gets rejected and thinks "oh god, that was awful, poor me, I'm a failure" to "oh well, her loss, next". Some people are naturally skilled at things but the only way we can learn if we are not is through repeated failure. Fail enough times at something and you will slowly get better at it, so long as you keep trying.

Successful guys, you know the ones that are "ladykillers" get rejected plenty of times too. They just don't get hung up on one girl or let it hurt their ego when they get rejected. They know there's other women out there interested in them, and they're not gonna waste any time on the ones that aren't. next, next, next, next, next, next , next, WIN.

Oh, and btw, when I used that whole "two day rule" thing my success rate was far lower than it is now. Attractive girls get hit on multiple times a day. You need to ask her out early, preferably in person but if not, no later than the day after you get her number, otherwise she's gonna forget about you when the next guy comes along who doesn't use that stupid rule. The longer you wait, the more that initial attraction you built is gonna fade. I notice more flakes the further out I set the date.

Building confidence takes time, but will be a by product of "taking care of yourself". The more confidence you have, the more confidence you can get...
 

"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.
