How to Succeed with Women Rules summarized

[bigmil]

For those of you that haven't read the great book, 'How to Succeed with Women', here is a summary of the rules the authors lay out in the opening chapters:

THE RULES OF DATING


1. Never grovel for sex.
2. Its your job to pursue sex, but she has the final say.
3. Don’t get upset at her “no’s”.
4. Know that rejection is the key to sexual prosperity.
5. Look at dating as a numbers game.
6. Always pursue more than one woman.
7. You must initiate everything with women.
8. You must always be prospecting.
9. Always act with an outcome in mind.
10. Always make life work for you, not her.
11. Never be a prospects therapist or friend.
12. Always be willing to walk away from the woman or seduction.
13. Make it look like you’re not working on the romance.


I've found that when I implement these they work great for getting laid and building confidence. For LTR's not all can be applied if you want to actually keep the girl around. Good info I thought I would share.

I think the list is pretty good with a personal exception of #4 and #5. What do you guys think is wrong with the rest of the list?

One of the main points of the book is that you can be successful -- have lots of sex -- if you pursue a lot of women at once -- rules 4 and 5. This makes since. Does anyone disagree with this? It seems to be a common theme on this site.

Paperboy these are the rules laid out in the book -- I didn't make them up so how am I an AFC? I stated that in my post. Here, I'll change up the rule just for you:

2. Its your job to pursue sex, but if she says no, slip her a roofie.

Hmmm, personally I don't see how focusing on a negative such as rejection would seriously help anyone. And as for feeling that dating is merely a number's game assuming that things such as looks, charisma, common interests and the like have no bearing what so ever. Perhaps if you don't have anything going for you it may be just a numbers game; ask enough women out one will eventually feel sorry for you and agree to a date.

I think the point they are trying to make in the book is that rejection should be recast in your mind as something positive. In other words, when you are rejected -- do not let it effect your confidence -- just move on and continue your mission which is to meet hotties for sex and/or relationships.
The authors advocate learning something from EVERY experience with women -- whether it be good or bad. I can't see how this could be a bad thing at all. If you think about it, you DOtake away something positive from every experience. You are constantly learning about how to approach, how to handle your emotions and desires, or at the vary least, you are gaining field experience so that you can become a more skilled DJ.

Basically they are saying that you should approach dating with an attitude of extreme optimism. Not unrealistic, but always optimistic. The optimist will always win in the end. This can actually be applied to any area of your life.

You happened to mention that some of these rules do not apply to LTRs/steady girlfriends. Care to elaborate a bit? I have a feeling you're referring to the last rule, no?
