"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

How do I make my gf lose weight

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

She was skinny when we started dating, but it's noticeable now. Shell only workout when life is easy like most humans, and I fear this is long term.

take her with you...? Did she have crappy eating habits when you started dating? Those things don't go away...

You could dump her. Sounds like a d*ck move, but basically if you are fit and she is not, those are big life style differences...

If she doesn't care it is because she is complacent about you. You need to start generating a little covert dread. Keep working out, get caught looking at or flirting with fit womenm get a new haircut, go out by yourself.

The reality though is if she has a fat mom and bad eating habits she is probably going to get fat unless she is willing to work hard to keep you and you are willing to become her petsonal fitness coach. Finding a healthy activity to do together isn't a bad idea either.

You can't make anyone do anything they don't want to do. She has to want to do it herself.

A real man wouldn't bodyshame his girlfriend.

You obviously don't love her.
I completely disagree with this. we are visual beings and when things start to fall out of place physically with a woman, a man will stray. if she wants to keep him happy, she would take care of herself .

Now...if he is fat himself then he needs to pipe down , but I see no problem wanting your woman to be fit.

I think he was being sarcastic.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Yeah, don't shame her or make her feel bad. Try to get her to remember how she felt when she was fitter. She probably felt a lot better and liked the attention better too.

Mention the fitness as a way you two can further bond... It works too, doing physical things together bonds you.

You need to dump her and start over.

Dating a girl is like buying a car. You don't buy a car and then add features you wanted after the fact. It's too expensive and not cost effective. You need to buy the car you want the first time you put money down with all the things you want. Same applies with girls. If you don't bag a girl that's into fitness as a life style you're asking for trouble. If that's what you wanted, that is.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Suprized only one guy recommended this. You need to give her a bit of covert anxiety. Goto the gym frequently, dress better than usual and groom well. If her interest is where it's supposed to be for a LTR she should begin to feel like she isn't good enough and take the weight loss into her own hands.

In my opinion overtly talking to her about it will get you nowhere. If it doesn't start an argument it may get her to start trying to lose weight but she will resent you for not 'loving her for who she is unconditionally'

If you are in shape and she isn't, you just need to find a new girl. As harsh as it sounds I guarantee you'll be happier with something you like looking at.

as a woman ages, and her estrogen drops, the carbs she eats are more likely to be turned into fat. (carbs being breads, pasta, crackers, booze, sugar, etc)
for a female, the only way to combat this is to stick to veggies and proteins as your main foods, and 'splurge' every now and then.
females who dont realize that it gets harder to lose weight as you get older are gong to have a very hard, uphill battle with their weight
women can now spot treat with things like coolsculpting, to get rid of problem areas, fyi

she has to want to lose weight. The best thing you can do is what @Mauser96 said and be the example
you're going to have to evaluate how important this is to you. For me, an active and fit partner is a standard I have.
Long ago I realized I found lazy men, who didn't care about their weight or fitness or health to be frustrating and caused me to view them as slovenly and generated feelings of resentment in me. This is why it became a standard.

I've never had a long term girl get ugly, fat, cut her hair short, not wear fake nails, not keep her hair nice, not make sure her skin is always soft. You know why? Because I make my expectations very clear from the start. I frequently compliment them on these physical things that I am attracted to, so they know what I value and appreciate. You take any of these things away, and there goes some of my attraction.

And when they ask me "what if I get fat?" I say "if I wanted a fat girl I would have gotten one to begin with". :) works every single time.

Set your standards high for yourself and them and you won't have these problems!

You should take the same approach to personality.

it is really all about knowing yourself first and then deciding what you are looking for (what's important physically and in a personality) setting standards and refusing to wane
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
