So im about 20 years old and never had a gf and im not even good at speaking with women or with people in general. Are there actually self help books that can help your social skills and ability to attract women or is it all just bull shit? Im currently thinking of reading Models by Mark Manson and i was curious if there were any other books that might be good?

Generally it's an experiential thing, which is one of the reasons therapy can be helpful. Getting things such as talking with other prople from a book doesn't work well since it's something that is generally a natural activity. By mimmickimg things from the book, you make your whole demeanor artificial. You may ask yourself how anybody managed to write a book on such things, and the response is simple - they naturally know how to talk to people and learnt a lot from the situations they've been in.

The guy who wrote the original one of these (Neil something), "The Game", also wrote a companion book which walks you through, step by step, on how to reproduce his results. Iirc, it consists of a sequence of challenges or games, starting with innocuous things like walking up to strangers and asking for the time, all the way to picking up girls for one-night stands. It might be what you're looking for.

I will say though that female companionship isn't all its cracked up to be. Sex is momentary, exhausting, and bestial. You want it while you don't have it (as with everything else) but once you get it, it's no longer worth all the necessary rigamarole. I'd say a book on making and developing true friendships is far more valuable and actually worth the effort. Yet, so much of that is just about chance, circumstance, and youth. You'll likely never have a best friend the way you did in middle or high school. Anytime I see two adults who are good friends, it's always the case that they've been friends since children.

That said, there are a few books on this subject.

THIS. If you have to read a book about attracting women, you're NGMI. You weren't socialized properly and had no positive reinforcement, and now it's over for you because no matter what retarded "approach" you try, you're ALWAYS going to come off as unnatural and corny to most. There is functionally no way that a PUA book or a self-help book is going to make you any more attractive or sociable.

It was a while ago but I remember that you had to give off an air of not 'needing' women.
When you're not experienced you feel like any date with a girl is your one and only shot and if you fail you're a loser and bound to become a wizard.
Thinking this will 100% influence your actions and if women hate anything it's an insecure man.
With women it's mostly attitude. Incels don't understand this, they would rather think they can get women by reversing balding, or getting leg lengthening surgery. In reality you can 'trick' a woman into thinking you're high value. Even if you have no experience. Give off the idea that a date with you is a guarantee for a fun time and that she found someone special.
I have no problem admitting to having weird interests on dates, because it sets me apart from the standard male she has met before.

It's a good book to start and once you have your foot in the door (experience) you'll no longer need these tricks, it will come naturally.

It is outdated because the context of activities has changed dramatically. People engage in "social" activities with their friends they already HAVE, socializing with random strangers in public has been increasingly looked down upon even before the pandemic lockdowns, and has only intensified since.

my advice is this: We live in a collapsing empire on the precipice of the AI apocalypse. Business has devolved from industry into getting people addicted to parasocial tech platforms to harvest their data, thereby more effectively tricking them into buying dumb shit to distract themselves from their miserable lives and meaningless deaths. There's also various financial scams basically all stemming from our mode of (central) banking on top of this, but I digress.

Life will be totally unrecognizable by 2030. Even if you make all the "right" moves there's a large chance you will end up in a mass grave, or even worse as a brain slave who is forced to rent out a % of his brain's processing power to cloud services in exchange for UBI.

So, in light of this, there's a lot of things you could do. Sit around and NEET all day, watching anime. Sit around and NEET all day and start some scam e-business. Gamble on crypto. Become a mass-shooter. Get a shitty dead-end job in a flyover state and settle for some aging slut you meet salsa dancing and grow old (but not too old—remember, 2030) together going out friday nights to eat beef, tasty beef. You can even read Aurelius to cope and the latest self-help bullshit to MAXIMIZE your EFFECTIVENESS times 100 this is a no crybaby zone.

It doesn't matter. Do whatever you want. We are in a civilizational stage where control over your life is largely out of your hands. Therefore, just do whatever you find amusing. There's a 19 year old girl out there richer then you'll EVER be selling foot pics to simps, so who cares. If you're anywhere in your 20s and you're loveless and/or careerless and reading this thread it's already too late for you to follow a well-worn meme path where you get an education, get a well-paying job, find a woman before she's taken 50 cocks. Unless getting an education is amusing—then do that. But it's too late for this standard path to even be worth it for you. Life ends at 25, anyway.

If you're reading this and aimless, my advice is to take off all your clothes, and just start taking risks. Just do whatever. You can't control whether or not you'll meet a woman you can tolerate being around, let alone genetically mingling with, let alone spiritually mingling with, so fuck it.

You might be exaggerating by speaking of mass graves or renting out brain processing but if you believe that you're far gone.
There are people who have taken this blackpill 10 years ago. Do you think they're better off than someone who actually worked in that period? And what if the apocalypse doesn't come? You'll be in your 30s, living with mommy and having had 0 experiences and made no worthwhile memories in that time.
I'm well aware about how fucked modern life is but the art is to acknowledge it and make the best decision regardless.
Wageslaving should be a temporary thing. Save money and then make an investment, do some illegal trade to make more money or move to a cheap country where you'll barely have to work or can make more money simply by having more money than the brown hordes below you.

Forget we not the almost commonplace mass atrocities of the 20th century.

AI is replacing all mental jobs. It's a question of When, not If. 10 years ago we couldn't have foreseen the fact that we'd be ahead of schedule now.10 years ago it was smart to bet on another lifetime before everything turned sour. Not so now.

Robots will be replacing all physical jobs, after that. That seems a long way off, but who knows how AI will accelerate it.

As an aside, physical jobs aren't the epic win people might think it is. When White collar jobs are gone, the laborer market will of course flood and devalue everyone's work. Unions won't be able control the situation due to sheer volume of scabs. There won't be any real way to make money other than holding or speculating on assets.

When the population is rendered useless, the powers that be will either kill them or farm resources directly out of them. As soon as a mind-machine interface is developed, you can bet people will be lining up to rent out their brain for extra portions of soibean gruel and fully-immersive AI porno ecstasy. Elon Musk's Neuralink will metamorph into Uber for Human Batteries. Screencap this post.

I would bet on all of this before 2050. Pro-tip keep your guns. Hopefully the climate kills us before then. We have failed to learn to live with technology and now we must pay the price.

Even if you're into being a consumer first and foremost, it would pay off to at least work enough to leave mommies home. And you didn't answer my question of who would be better off, the person who took the blackpill 10 years ago or the person who worked.

The answer is obvious. I'm not someone who defends the current wageslave existence but when confronted with someone like you I feel forced to. Even when predicting catastrophe you should want to work yourself into a position where you're not at the complete behest of the government/corporations.
And sorry to say but you need money for that. I already laid out some options for people with money.

Your predictions are nothing to bank on and I doubt even for a consumer it would be the best existence. I got by years by working for a while, then quitting and being a NEET for months. Got to live great while not being feeling like a parasite on either my parents or the state.

Scary thought. Eventually people will have to be okay with having less, maybe living in the woods in a hunter gatherer lifestyle, maybe using the robots as an assistance. Better than participating in scab society.

The Tao Te Ching and Nevile Goddard unironically. The more you try the more it slips from your grasp. Don't struggle or fight and reduce the "need" for women. Only when you let go of the "need" or "desire" for women will they come because needing or desiring implies a state of not having.

Stop caring so much. You don't have to worry about what to do or this or that, once you stop caring and know that you are successful with women it will come naturally.

That's it that's all you have to do, however this will take practice. Reading books won't help because they will put you in too much of an analytical mindset which will work against you.

At first telling yourself you are successful with women will feel off or weird or even wrong because its so different than what you've experienced you may even feel some anxiety but if you keep at it your soul will eventually warm up to the idea and become more comfortable with it until it finally accepts the idea and then magic happens.
So just keep telling yourself you are successful with women and keep believing until the "wrong" or "off" feeling eventually gives way to comfort. The off feeling comes from it being different than your current state and so its out of your souls comfort zone. Your are essentially expanding your souls comfort zone to include what you desire. Keep circling and blowing your horn and the walls of Jericho will fall. Lastly its crucial that while doing this you keep a non-caring detached mindset toward it. Like how you feel when saying the sky is blue. Like a detached matter-of-fact statement of truth. Caring too much and giving it too much importance will work against you.

I did answer—both are equally fucked, but you could have made a good argument 10 years ago on normative solutions. The NEET of course could derive a sick pleasure from not having contributed anything to a system preparing to kill him.

>I feel forced to

>No, I'm not at all convinced of your doomposting
I'm beyond doom-posting. I'm all-bets-are-off-posting. My advice is for people to stop caring and do whatever they think is fun because caring is predicated on conditions at odds with obviously impending reality. Make all the right choices and die of vaccine-related heart because you exercised TOO hard. Make all the wrong choices and still get rich because you bought drugs on silkroad with bitcoin a decade ago. All bets are off.

My key point is don't pursue anything solely relying on a promised payout, moral, fiscal, or otherwise at the end. Modern life especially is too chaotic to base decisions on simplistic linear predictions. Definitely do not make assumptions about the future which are based on the existence of a high-trust population with a sense of shared destiny, this which has not existed for almost a century.

Models is a good book. It pretty much has all you need to get a gf. Most other books are very similar.

I guarantee unless you are physically deformed, you will 100% get a girlfriend if you commit to daily exercise, prayer/meditation, a social hobby, and continually putting yourself out there and being willing be rejected/hurt.

There's plenty of people who are socially retarded at 20 who get their act together in their mid / late 20's.
30 is probably a more realistic hard cutoff.

Speak less, and only about what you know fore sure (jokes and banter aside, obvs). Literally all there is to it. It also compounds well later on with talking to women, because so many men oversell themselves and don't know when to shut up. Often they don't realize that they won the girl 20 minutes ago but lost her several times over since then because of their thoughtless chatter.

To be clear, I wasn’t recommending anyone get a bar and restaurant job. Those jobs suck. I’m only pointing out that in a job like that, you can’t avoid social interaction. You’re constantly doing it so you can’t avoid getting better. You could do something similar in a sales job, or any job where you’re forced to provide “customer service” a lot. The point though is not that you should get that job. It’s that you will get better through practice. If you’re American, it’s basically normal to talk to random strangers as well. You can just strike up conversation for practice if you want and nobody will care.

I also think a lot of it is confidence and that boils down to competence. You have to learn to be comfortable with who you are and how you are. If you’re a sperg, just be a sperg. You’re on the right track when you can be comfortable admitting something like “I’m sorry, my voice is shaking because I’m a little awkward and shy”. You have to learn to not be desperate not be awkward and shy. You know what I mean?

But it has been confirmed over and over again ever since the RSD's downfall (by people who worked there and set up their fake scam bootcamps), when it went from being one of the biggest PUA/Dating machines in the world in the early 2010s, to a literal joke.

Funny how RSD went under precisely at the same time as every other PUA outfit - in the mid 2010s, when Tinder and other Big Dating swipe apps got fully normalized and widespread, sub-8 males became invisible to women, and everybody realized that initial attraction and preselection were always looks-based, and "Tyler" and everyone else in that scene were literal scammers.

I think you'd be better off reading chick-lit and romance novels written by/for women of your generation. See how the male characters interact with the female. Note how the author has her protagonist react to the verbal approaches by men and note which ones are successful. Ponder that, and remind yourself women read these novels like they're eating candy bars. They're designed to scratch the itch and therefore must ring true on some level. Good luck, anon.

It's not so much giving off the air of not giving a fuck. It's more about it not being a big deal if it doesn't work out. You want the girl to think that you're into seeing her again since you had fun on the first date and she easy to talk to (blah blah). You do that by hinting at a second date while on the first date (not too soon, maybe like an hour into it).
For me the typical way to go is this
>first date at a bar, low threshold and casual
>second date some activity like pool (perfect for a change to touch if she doesn't know how to do it) or some arcade or some hiking path if she's into that.
>third date some landmark in the city you live in/near. Could be something simple like a beautiful park (bitches like picnics) or something with a view (a harbor or observation tower was my go to)
After that it's expected that she also will come with date ideas/will ask you out.
At minimum make physical contact at the first date, kiss at the second.
If you can get a kiss on the first you're good to go

Both of the ones I spoke of I simply went in and asked for one.
For the trade job they were surprised someone with no experience just walked in and asked. I got a talk with someone who doesn't usually do solicitation talks and asked to come back next week when the guy who does them is available. But I got my first talk in, leaps ahead of someone who sends an e-mail. With 0 experience you need to stand out and if you're good at solicitations then don't waste your shot with a shit e-mail.
The second one I went in with the idea of continuing being a trade worker (welding mostly) and the owner was available. Turns out he loves to talk and I barely got a word in. He was actually looking for someone in the office who can assist the planner who is flooded with work. I decided to give it a go and the salary was comparable. Now I got a foot in the door and can easily work my way up.

Two different things, it's why I never spoke of 'not giving a fuck'. It's an entirely different attitude.

Some of the worst advice I've ever seen posted in this thread.

>dude just do something silly and irreverent, like ranting about central banks on a first date or opening up a hot dog stand with your dog!
>dude just read the tao and explicitly cultivate not giving a fuck about something you clearly give a fuck about by not giving a fuck about it!
>dude just pretend your negative experiences simply didn't happen, gaslight yourself into lobotomizing every crushing social defeat and failure out of your head!
>dude just go salsa dancing and pretend you will now thrive in a touch-heavy environment with attractive women who are now suddenly romantic prospects because you both paid for the same class!

I remember I got a "social" job with a bunch of girls and inside 2 weeks I already had FOR FRIENDSHIP ONLY stamped on my forehead in big red letters. Is it their fault, was it my fault? I don't blame anyone. I cannot cultivate the impression I want to cultivate without "trying", and "trying" already signals your lack. The only guys itt who were successful were temporarily frustrated chads or sub-chads, anyways. If all it takes for you is a few months of studying Spanish and going on runs to have women be spontaneously attracted to you, good for you but you're not really the demographic for threads like this. Some "men" are sub-men who will never experience love and will never be allowed into the inner sanctum of life.

Social skills are a natural result of a healthy social life during puberty and early adulthood.

If you're unattractive and lonely you most likely will not develop the self-confidence and ability to behave properly in social situations. No books will replace the necessary experience. So go now while you still can, engage with people, build a strong social circle and work from there, not from books or the internet. Although it's usually a matter of genetics and there's not much you can do to chanhe the outcome nature has laid out for you.

I honest to God don't get this advice to 'work out' and the other memes like hygiene, which are retarded because everyone does them anyway. The majority of people do not work out, a large amount of people do not have real hobbies. Yet they are dating, married etc. So clearly this advice is rather void when for most people it doesn't even carry any weight. It's not like being fit changes much anyway, quite literally the only people who ever comment on my fitness are other guys. But then again I did it for myself and not for some faggot reason like impressing women.

This is not true. It took me until I was in my early 30s before I learned how to relate to normal people and women. Befriending extroverts helped immensely. Having success in life, getting fit, making real money, etc gave me confidence and helped me get over my insecurities and fears. Combine that with practice and from a distance I almost look normal.

Keep in mind that no matter how smart you think you are you have no idea what is really out in the world until you explore, work, try new things etc. You don’t have it all figured out, as a matter of fact you are functionally retarded.

I agree with your post except for the part about not having control. It’s true you have no control over the talmudic globalist psychopath parasitic elite but you do have control over your own life, actions and attitude. It feels insurmountable because the psychopaths have learned how to control and manage the emotions of the masses. It’s not real though. You don’t have to live in the Matrix. You don’t have to follow the NPCs on their death march. Look at how completely fucken retarded and feminized even smart people have become. Everyone is fucked and no one has any clue what is going on or how we got here. They have no meaning or purpose in their lives which makes it easy to weaponize them into supporting “the next important thing”. Look at all of this as an opportunity. If you’re not retarded you should be able to do what you will. Instead of being blackpilled and fatalistic about this truly horrible situation you could view yourself as the hero of an adventure on a journey through the wasteland of modernity.

The unfortunate reality is that a lot of the incels on this site will need the help of a really good therapist to solve their problems or access to group therapy multiple times a week, both of which are difficult to acquire. When you're dealing with real neurosis you can't just snap out of it via lifting or "exposure" therapy for social anxiety. Essentially you need to get at the root of what's really making you so anxious and it generally has to do with things your parents did a long time ago and you are still carrying out patterns unconsciously. Severe anxiety around women could have to do with unconscious guilt of abandoning a narcissistic parent and pursuing your own happiness, it could have to do with validation issues dating back to childhood and now making you desperate and way too invested, it could have to do with prior teasing and bullying, maybe your parents had a bad marriage and you're scared of relationships, maybe you have all these other insecurities that you're worried about being exposed in a relationship, etc. etc., so if you're carrying around all this unconscious baggage I'm not sure the way out except for becoming aware of it.

Here is your script.

Take a shower, put on clean clothes, Go outside to where girls you like hang out. Mall, bookstore, wherever.

Throw your shoulders back, stand up straight and tall, and walk up to a girl you think is cute. Doesn’t matter who she is with or what she is doing.

Smile and say “excuse me, sorry to interrupt, I only have a minute before I need to go, but if I didn’t walk up to you and say something I would be kicking myself later. You are so gorgeous you literally stopped me in my tracks. Can I get your phone number/email/Snapchat/whatever so I can contact you later and get to know you?”

She will probably say “sorry I have a boyfriend”

To which you will smile and say “well he is a lucky guy, have a nice day”.
And then you leave, it’s over and done, don’t even look back.

If she says yes, say “thanks, I already can’t wait.” Then smile and walk away, don’t look back.

Do this 10 times, you will get 1 number.

Get 10 numbers, you will get 1 date

Get 10 dates, you will have 1 sex.

That’s the game. It’s easy.

The more you do this, the numbers get better. If you are handsome or in shape, the numbers get better.

I never said it was exciting. It's boring as shit, but you're wrong about the low pay. For patent law especially you can easily start at six figs out of law school.

I got drunk and gave myself a rim job last night. I feel so embarrassed, I can’t get out of bed. Can’t even summon the will to troll pol with black penises. I think I did that because I was high on cereal. I ate a whole box then for some reason wanted to prove to myself that gay sex is just normal sex. I just burped, it smelled like a fart

The trick is enduring so much of their bullshit you demystify them. Anyway, models is alright. Don’t act like a bitch and appear confident, that’s pretty much it. Most important: have self-respect. Women will also waste your time like no ones business, get used to cutting them out when they start doing that or you’ll have a bad time.

Everyone else is shitting on this poster but he has a point. Feelings on therapy aside, most of people's social phobias and maladjustments come from improper socialization in childhood. Looks/genetics/luck are big components in dating. Some people just are not going to bag the 10s they think they deserve. Life isn't fair, etc. The point he's making is that you at least tackle the mental issues that are causing the developmental arrests which won't fix all your issues, but at least give you a fighting shot.

Good post.

HOW TO GET A GIRLFRIEND
>1. Take a week off from work.
>2. Jerk off for several days in a row, several times a day, to the hottest porn you can find. Totally goon out. Edge yourself for hours before cumming buckets, then get right back to it. Take breaks to hydrate, eat and sleep, but your full-time job is masturbation.
>3. Realize that you don't *need* a woman for sexual gratification, and that both the pursuit & attainment of sexual gratification is banal.
>4. Spend a couple of days not masturbating, just reading, cleaning up around the house, taking walks, "working on yourself," or whatever.
>5. After all this, wake up, shower, dress nicely, and then go out. Treat yourself to a nice meal somewhere with a pretty waitress. Reciprocate her professional "friendliness" with calm but warm courtesy, but don't even think about desiring her to do anything more for you than bring you food. Ignore her, unless she speaks to you. Pay. Tip. Leave.
>6. Go to where the "action" is: somewhere plenty of females go for whatever reason; perhaps a popular cafe, club, laundromat, or whatever.
>7. Look at the women, but don't stare. Notice their imperfections, their insecurities, their mental illnesses. Without condescending, realize that they are simply large children, psychologically. Don't be a douche; treat them as you would an adolescent.
>8. Just talk to one if she doesn't look too crazy or beat up. Maybe she's on the street, or riding public transportation with you, or seated nearby. Just find something to say. This is one of my best approaches:
her: *looking around for something to look at*
me: *make eye contact* "Hey."
>that's it! You don't want some corny pick up artist line; just this simple monosyllabic statement of your own existence and recognition of her existence. If she doesn't stop and look at you from nose to toes and verbally reply, then you've already lost *that* one; just ignore her and move on...
>...but if she does respond, you're 99% guaranteed to be fucking her tonight. I'd say 100%, but there's always that 1% variance of something being "off" with either one of you.
>9. Hang out with her, maybe join her on whatever errand she's running, then get something to eat together, then go back home with her to HER PLACE (never your place until you've thoroughly vetted her and are sure she's not a klepto- or pyromaniac or whatever crazy). Before this, you must've touched her elbow or shoulder or the small of her back, and she yours (reciprocating lite physical contact); this then sets the stage for you to sit down close to her in her comfortable private space/home. Don't make the first move, but be confident & comfortable. The subtly interplay of two potential lovers leads to more. Kiss. Maybe even fuck. You know you're in when she lets you sleep next to her the very same nite you met.
>10. Congrats: if you choose, you now have a girlfriend, but she's probably a total whore cuz she let u fuck her within hours of meeting her.

>written by/for women of your generation
Women of all ages read chicklit and romance books. Anon's point is the male characters written specifically for women to consume must be saying things those women want to hear.

I don’t know a single girl even close to 30 who read a single chicklit book and I worked at a god damn library anon, surrounded by voracious readers. They all watch chickFLICKS.
