"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.

Tonight I went out with a friendly acquaintance whom Ive happen to know for a long time. He went on the same high school as me.

We went to Dunkin Donuts, he flirted with the cute cashier for a little bit. Then we went outside and sat down to talk about sports, politics, philosophy and women.

Then afterwards, we went cruising to the sound of old school rock and pop music.

Im a loner by nature and I prefer to be alone most nights. As a matter a fact I spent the last two months mostly by myself and prefer it that way, but it’s good to get out once in a while.
 

"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.

Lol. Why make it sound as ghey as this?

New title: hung out with the homie and has a good time. You see, the fact you classify it as a date already tells me you reserve this kinda effort /energy soley for "the right woman ". While the next step should be a " u took MYSELF on a selfie-date".

But ,oke. I still salute you.

I advocate for more men to flock together and get out of the house. Women do this ALL the damn time.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Could you phrase it any worse to come across as even more homosexual? WTF

Bromance is just a term used by the newer generation. I’ve heard it been use by girls to playfully criticize guys that spend quality time with their friends instead of them.

I personally like to spend time with the few friends I consider good friends. (Mostly male, as almost all the good female friends I ended up sexing/creating feelings that made things awkward.) Consequently, I now have a number of female acquaintances but I generally steer away from deep female friendship.

I go drinking, hunting, golfing, lifting... with my friends often. Often solo ... I wouldn’t call it a bro date... that makes me feel weird and if I said that to any of them we would probably take a long break from each other

There is no such thing as a bro-date for heterosexual men.

I have been seeing my male friends less because they are mainly married men with children under 3. I have a few childless friends who I see more frequently.
 

"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.

Usually if I see a male friend, it's like a drop in and catch up type of thing, or else it's centered around an activity we like to do. Guys get together to drink, fish, golf, lift, play music, etc. For women, it can be less specific, like going out to eat, seeing a movie, come with me while I buy a shirt, go on vacation, etc.

What is this, a Seinfeld episode? HeteroBros don't date, they hang out. :rolleyes:
