You’re not weak if you’re reading this book. You have options. If you’re here to read, turn to The Style Diaries, which begin about two thirds of the way into the book, for stories compiled from my journals. If you’re here to learn, start with the first part of the book, The Stylelife Challenge, for a workout program for your social and dating skills.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

There is a huge and well-established self-help industry for women, but there is little advice available for men to learn to attract women and figure out who they are.

#2

The Stylelife Challenge is a thirty-day workout program for your social, attraction, dating, and seduction skills. It is designed for the hardest cases, but has been proven to work for men who are already successful with women.

#3

If you’re a virgin, that’s fine. If you’ve never had a real girlfriend, that’s fine too. If you’re terminally shy, that’s fine too. If you’re recovering from a rough breakup or divorce, that’s fine too.

#4

The Stylelife Challenge is a series of missions that you should complete every morning. They may be primers to study, questions to answer, self-improvement exercises to perform, or field exercises to get you out of the house and approaching women.

#5

The Stylelife Challenge is a month-long challenge where you meet a woman, get a date, and win. Once you get a date, feel free to put your name in the winner’s circle at www. stylelife. com/challenge and share your story.

#6

To update your social life, you must first assess yourself. To do this, you must answer the following questions: 1. Write one or two sentences describing how you believe other people currently perceive you. 2. Write one or two sentences describing how you’d like to be perceived by others. 3. List three of your behaviors or characteristics you would like to change.

#7

The first field assignment is to make small talk with five strangers. It doesn’t matter whether they’re male or female, young or old, friendly or unfriendly. The goal is simply to start a conversation, with no intent other than filling in the silence with a question or pleasantry.

#8

The harder it is for you to approach women, the less likely it is that you'll be rudely rejected. This is because most people have been raised to be courteous and polite, unless they feel threatened.

#9

When you realize that most people are just like you, and are actually seeking your approval, you’ll start to become socially fearless. Most people who see you approach a girl or a group assume that you know the people, so act like you do.

#10

The dating dichotomy isn’t between nice guys and mean guys, but between weak guys and strong guys. Women are attracted to men who demonstrate strength, not necessarily physical strength, but the ability to make them feel safe.

#11

While money, looks, and fame may make things easier, they aren't necessary. Good grooming, appropriate clothing, and a positive identity are all that's required to attract women.

#12

If you’re obsessed with a particular girl, and she hasn’t shown any signs that she shares your feelings, recognize that it isn’t love you’re feeling, but obsession. And realize that there are plenty of other women out there who can appreciate your worth.
