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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
sorry mate. but that's women rate me. so i guess it stickednot if you tell yourself you're a 3/10 you don't
If you're rating yourself like that, you need to focus on building your self confidence. I'm not some kind of Rico Suave, but I know I've come a long way in the past few years. Used to suffer from major depression but now I feel pretty secure and confident in myself. Self improvement is my favorite hobby. Set small goals for yourself in all aspects of your life and work towards them every day. Work out, learn an instrument, try to get a better job or promotion. Quit a bad habit. Something, anything. As you achieve these goals you will start to value yourself much more.sorry mate. but that's women rate me. so i guess it sticked

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Have you read the DJ Bible? Especially the works of Pook? You need to see yourself as a catch. Don't pedestal women. Pedestal yourself. Girls are attracted to confidence. Sure, physical appearance helps out, but you can be a good looking guy and get nowhere with women if you have no self confidence. What's the context behind you being rated a 3 anyways? How many women said that? And in what setting?but what if women see you like that. is it game over?
mostly online dating, social networks: Facebook, Tinder etc. Lots of women. Yes the words of Pook are inspiring but i was wondering if he was including guys like myself when he made the Book Of Pook.Have you read the DJ Bible? Especially the works of Pook?

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You care too much about others' opinions. And worse still, you derive your value and your intrinsic sense ofsorry mate. but that's women rate me. so i guess it sticked
You beat easily a 10/10 when you are awesome, funny, know what you want, smart, self confident, independent, ...do i still have a chance?
This is the crux of your problem. You are focused on how others perceive you, rather than how you perceive yourself. Flip the script and you'll notice results immediately.but that's women rate me.
Mick jagger is an ugly mofo but he enters every room with confidence. Women will notice your confidence and your swagger even if you say you are a 3 out of 10. If you command the room and if you walk tall snd learn how to carry yourself you would be surprised how your 3 will jump to a 6 or 7 in no time. Read the don juan bible. Work on cold approaching. Build your confidencebut what if women see you like that. is it game over?
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
What do you do (I mean you personally) instead of go on dates?Wanting to be on a date is kinda pathetic. Girls think like that. You should want to be getting laid. Dating is for guys who don't know any better way to get sex.
It is actionable. You need to have the mindset that anything is achievable if you work hard enough at it, like the guy without arms and legs in the video Reykhel posted. There is a Japanese Proverb that goes: "fall down seven times, stand up eight." Seriously, he needs to get rejected. Again and again and again. So he can go from the point where gets rejected and thinks "oh god, that was awful, poor me, I'm a failure" to "oh well, her loss, next". Some people are naturally skilled at things but the only way we can learn if we are not is through repeated failure. Fail enough times at something and you will slowly get better at it, so long as you keep trying.495/500 rejections. That must hurt a lot.
When you are depressed (3/10) I guess you need to feel to be able to move forward (some success), not to feel burning rejection 500 times. The inner game advice here is rock solid, but probably not actionable for him. I would try to increase the probability by being smart about it. Determine your best skill. Eliminate those skills not shared by women. Improve your skill further. Let's say you speak french. Determine your skill level and join the next course (even if it is a bloody beginner's course). Pro: Give a course.
You read the interest level of the other female participants. Ask the girl out with the highest interest level (smiles, questions, body language). If necessary move on to the next and the next and the next girl. Maybe you want to ask for coffee (small investment). It is probably not the most alpha way of doing things, but I guess a small success is better than none. Get the number. Wait a couple of days. Ask her out, must not even be coffee. Date.
Building confidence takes time, but will be a by product of "taking care of yourself".

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
