"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.

"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.

Other people are so worried what you and everybody else thinks that they are entirely too self absorbed to fixate on you. They are already fixated on themselves.
Think "Blurry Face" by 21 Pilots.
Don't worry too much about grades. Focus on girls, your height, your looks, and girls. Get experience so you can know how tricky people are. Marry young if you want to get married.
Don't focus on money too much. It will easily come later. Focus on girls. It is much easier to meet, date, and sleep with girls when you are younger than when you are older. They don't care about money when you are older.
Even if they do, you are a sucker because they slept with all the guys with no money when they were younger.

How exactly does one "focus" on their height?

... if you didnt tend to your looks, and thus don't age well. Any DJ who tends to his money and looks as he ages will find his SMV increasing with age.
The good news is if you focused only on money and denied your physicality as you got older, then you have money to fix your looks if you didn't age well.
I can make any mature man (or any man for that matter) into a beast if he were willing.

Do your own interest regardless general morality and other people needs but give the impression that you are behaving as expected.

"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.
LOL youu wouldn't believe the crappie I've heard from a my teachers feministfriend that came into my class to teach us.
Not gonna go into detail, thanks for the nugget
In other words do what I want? Correct me if I'm wrong..

Do what you is your best interest but dont let it be seeing because its not morally acceptable, reframe it into pretending you are doing it for someone else benefit or any morally acceptable choice.
Do what you have to do but make it seem like you live and obey the rules.

Avoid becoming a target of (negative) gossip by keeping your mouth shut. Always assume that nobody can keep a secret. You'll be right 99.99 percent of the time.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This this this
I would tell my teenage self to not be too opinionated, don't tell too much about yourself don't tell too much about others, talk less, do more.
Be a blank projector screen for others to project themselves on.
People never know the real you, they only know what parts of themselves they project onto you.
Being a silent mirror is very seductive.

Both men and women gossip, a lot. We already discussed the importance of not leaking personal stuff about yourself. Also, if someone tells you something in confidence, keep it that way. Be that extremely rare person who keeps things quiet, and people will feel comfortable telling you all kinds of things.
More importantly, don't talk shyte about other people, not matter how much you dislike them. People will really respect you when you avoid speaking ill of others. Also be careful about people trying to BAIT you into talking shyte about others. This is a common (fictitious) scenario...
Gossiper: Mike32ct is a jerk, don't you think?
You: yeah kinda
Gossiper: <Tells everybody> I never said anything bad about Mike. I like him, but Joji told me that he's a jerk.
TDLR: When people try to bait you into leaking info about yourself, or leaking secrets or talking shyte about others, don't take the bait.
(I work in an office, so I learned how nasty gossipers can be.)
The things you think are going to change your life, won't.
The six-pack. Six figures in the bank. Mastering new hobbies.
You think you're going to break through, that there's some sort of paradigm shift on the other side of your goals. But there isn't.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
