She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
My take:
Yeah this sounds about right to be honest.If a man is stupid......He will do anything to keep her around......

ThisWho do any of you care? It's the exact same thing I see spoken on this forum. If a woman loves you she'll do anything to keep you around.
This forum is genuinely madness and so are most of such articles.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
How many homeless men have a line of women chasing them?I see junk like this article on the web & shake my head. No wonder you guys are wary about women.
The really sad thing is that so many women apparently subscribe to this view that men become jaded and assume it is true for ALL women, which makes it harder to believe it when you actually come across a woman who isn't like this...
Although I'm also stunned how many men actually lead with showing off their money & success & stuff first, actually as if negotiating for affection.
I personally don't like men who feel the need to show off the "stuff" early on. It is phony. It means these men think they have to use their "stuff" to compete for women (that they don't think they could otherwise pull), and then these same men wonder how they ended up with a gold digger who doesn't like them.
The article may as well be titled "How to be a Gold Digger and what kind of man to Target", but that would be too transparent for the writer.
More than you know. I can't tell you how many times I've had to evict women for moving just such a guy into one of my rentals. They move a deadbeat in, they get walking papers (eviction) so apparently there is a line, probably a low quality line but a line nonetheless. And yes the low income single moms are the worst.How many homeless men have a line of women chasing them?
Personally I greatly respect and like a man who knows it and owns it because that is who he is, because as a successful person myself I relate to the thinking, ambition, and self reliance which success requires. What turns me off is leading with materialism/resources instead of self reliance/ambition/successful thinking etc.Women love successful men.. they just don't like it when men know it, and act like they know it. Similar to a hot girl just assuming you want her. She is probably right.. but we don't like the assumption.
The woman who wrote the article is a blogger who has no qualifications to write such an article. It's her opinion, not fact.
This is how everyone should live. No wonder you are in a position to retire early. Everyone should save money for the future rather than spending their money on women and to attract women, going to bars, drinking, traveling around the world, using up all their bank balances and building up credit card debts, and living paycheck to paycheck.I actually make a very good living, but live well below my means. WELL below...like as in 1/2. I use the money to pay off mortgage and pack retirement funds. I plan to retire at 55 with a comfortable retirement income.
I actually GO OUT OF MY WAY to not look well-off, nor do I reveal to women I date how much I make.
This is exactly why I say "alpha is a mindset" constantly. A lot of men manage to obtain some of the tools of the alpha such as power, money, material goods, etc. But even with all these props.. those men still think like betas.. which makes them act like betas.I'm routinely shocked at the number of good looking high powered successful men who go into supplication mode when they find a hot woman with success, brains and confidence. That supplication is NOT attractive. I've had men text me photos of the 75K boat, the waterfront house, the expensive car, etc., etc., etc., promising box seats at xyz stadium because they know so-and-so, and so on. (It's "Pick Me!, Pick Me! behavior) It's as though these men do not think they are "good enough" for who they are, no matter what they have accomplished. These are the men who pedestalize a hot woman from a place of deep internal insecurity. You cannot lead as the man when you put the woman on a pedestal (I know you and others here know this - but many men don't or don't want to accept this). I actually look for leadership ability in a man, many women don't (even if it IS what they actually respond to).
Women are often conflicted between doing what feels natural and what society tells them. Most women follow society as a default because society provides security. If society says its not "hip" for a woman to be submissive in 2016, then most women will avoid acting submissive. So no matter how natural it feels.. women will fight it to keep their social status. The only time this melts away is when a woman is among an alpha. But since alphas are hard to tie down, the clock is ticking and most men are betas.. the average woman will eventually settle with a beta that meets society's standards on paper. Even though she is not attracted to her faggot husband, the relationship is still a win-win since she gains security enforced by law AND she will cheat on him behind his back anyway.Many women think they want a man who will put them on a pedestal, give them goodies, and let them be the boss on the altar of the kitty. Those are the women the linked article is about, IMO. Those are the same women who quit having sex after they get what they want and have used sex/looks to manipulate the man. Lots of men here have been 'that guy' at some point.
Unfortunately men & women who do not accept this dynamic as the norm are in the minority. I'd argue the happier, more authentic minority, but the minority at any rate.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
