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.
Sure. My call, I agree. I’ve heard Eye’s thiughtsnon it and it worth mulling over. But I’d also like to know your thoughts on an ultimatum in this scenerio. Or if ultimatums are sure fire ways to destructionI will not tell you any more Brooks. There are two schools of thought going on here. I don’t know EyeOnThePrize but I’m pretty sure he’s cool.
He may understand you better than I.
This is why I want you to read “The Rational Male.
There is a lesson in this. It has to do with trying to keep a woman or getting one back. It’s way too much trouble and the outcome is poor. Very poor. I am well past any thoughts of keeping a woman around if any less than optimum situation comes up.
Your call. It must always be your call.
But if I don’t give the ultimatum, then she still has free range to talk to him. Nothing is final. With the ultimatum I clearly state what fits and what doesn’t, and if she can’t get on board with that, then I walk right then and there. Doesn’t the ultimatum make more sense.just to expand Brooks, it means being able to walk away and mean it. always be in that state. be strict with her. if a girl does something i told her not to i give her less of my time. simple. i start to do more things without her. don't think about labels, that'll get you in trouble. be faithful and nice because you like her, not because you have a label. if she violates your respect then simply state what isn't working for you. if she doesn't work on it you walk. you gotta really mean it though. like Epic said, she'll see through you if you try to fake it. you gotta own it.
Ultimatums are part of a weak frame. In that respect he is right.Sure. My call, I agree. I’ve heard Eye’s thiughtsnon it and it worth mulling over. But I’d also like to know your thoughts on an ultimatum in this scenerio. Or if ultimatums are sure fire ways to destruction
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.
Right. Right.Ultimatums are part of a weak frame. In that respect he is right.
So he has a valid point. Just fukking dump her.
She won’t and can’t comply with your ultimatum.
But you can’t do that because your ultimatum is a last ditch effort to hold onto her. She knows this. You cannot win this. That ultimatum is the display of a weak man.
She will NOT comply. She will just take it even more covert and still slay you.
By not erecting a pillar for ur girlfriend.What are some of the pillars which one needs to focus on with importance in dealing with girlfriends?
Lift weightsFocusing on developing ways to become a strong masculine man in my life. So it creates true desire with my girlfriend (or a future one if this one doesn’t workout).
And I’m looking for ways to start my journey on this. The above is a quote from an article and it states what women truly respond to as opposed to the nice guy shtick of buying or negotiating her attraction with chores or gifts.

Physical fitness, it's same for her as for you beauty in a woman. Would you bang a super model while in a committed relationship? Will she bang a body builder while in committed relationship? Yes!What are some of the pillars which one needs to focus on with importance in dealing with girlfriends?
I don’t think most women would cheat on a guy for a body builder..Physical fitness, it's same for her as for you beauty in a woman. Would you bang a super model while in a committed relationship? Will she bang a body builder while in committed relationship? Yes!
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.
