Seph · #12The problem with the 3 seconds rule is that it requires you to be focused on nothing but girl hunting, you're there to get laid and that's it. It will show great confidence but it gives away the power in no time unless you are seriously good at making a girl feel insecure or creating instant attraction. And lets be real here, the average joe never gets to that point. It's simply no realistic to apply many of these rules to your normal life.The ideas promoted by all this master pick up artists can be cooked down to a few key concepts.
- Be confident.
- Don't worry so much about it.
- And for the love of all things cute and fluffy - Start. Having. A. Life.But lets get real here, dude's in middle school, that means like 11-14 years old. At that point in life it's entirely different rules of play. Just tell her you're going somewhere fun (if you don't know somewhere fun then see point three in bullet list above) and that she should come.
I find the 3 second rule to be effective if taken lightly. It should not dictate how your life is run, but it should guide you to what you want. Most guys see a girl they like, make eye contact for a split second, look away, then spend the rest of the night wishing they had gone up to her and started talking. It shouldn't run your life. It's not like I see a girl, and then say, oh, three second rule,
I HAVE to go talk to her. If you do that, you'll have absolutely no life, because all of your time is devoted to "girl hunting." Be selective.
I remember being 11. In fact, that was the year I asked this girl out and got shot down completely, and of course, it was someone who I had known for 4 years prior. That one rejection had such a lasting impact on my life, repeating this vicious cycle that happens to so many guys, and it wasn't until I was 19 (2008) that I started to demolish every belief I had, and start over. Even if you look at my posts from when I first joined this site, and look at my posts now, you'd probably think they are completely different people. And in a way, without going mental, they were different personalities.
This is a different ballgame. You're right, but where do you think women got the ideas that they can get just about anything that they want, get the notion that a man will pay for her and support her, that she has the power in the relationship, and all the other ideals that are conditioned into their minds? They get them at this age. They start to realize that they're being treated differently by men as opposed to when they were younger at let's say 8.
In a way, he has the advantage for now, because these notions haven't been completely programmed in yet. It is better to learn this stuff now, than later, almost to the point of being too late. It is never too late to turn back and go down the right path, but the longer you wait, the longer the walk back to the fork in the road. He has another advantage in that his identity, his perception of himself is in its early stages and can be changed. School is a social arena, and having a bad reputation (or no reputation) at the beginning will only make your life harder. Get in with the "in crowd." It isn't too late to change. People go away to college to reinvent themselves because of the lack of the social pressure and the reputation that they earned while at high school. You can be one step ahead of the game and change now before high school even starts, putting you in the right direction.
