"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

When you do mental math are you much better than even smart people?

No joke, at a previous job my coworkers would call me the human calculator because I'd do the math in my head and tell people the answer before a person who was using a calculator could punch in the numbers.
"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.

I have met a lot of grind/book smart people and I have met a few actually high IQ people. You can definitely tell the difference between the two.

I'm a himbo with minus 165 in IQ but I look like Chad thunderc0ck so I get by fine.
Ha ha.With hard work and tenacity you will get to 200. Just do it bro. lol.I'm a himbo with minus 165 in IQ but I look like Chad thunderc0ck so I get by fine.
Then test him
That is quite amazing. That means you have good memory too. Can you visualize stuff in your brain like an animation?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

Sometimes yes...I often can see code like that in my head as I am working to solve programming issues or doing bug fixes.

I can easily do this and calculate equations in my head, so it just proves my point how irrelevant your IQ score is lol.
Maybe you have an high IQ score

I have a shiitty memory. There is the memory palace method to keep more things in my mind but it does not work with me. Did you ever try stuff like that?
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.
For most things in life having an iq of 100 ( which is like slightly above average ) is more than enough
The higher the iq level after that, the more you will go towards the “autistic” side
Most of the wealthy people are not geniuses. Look at bill gates, he made most of the money from parenting software that he did not write
Not even Steve Jobs had a big iq
Seems like there are sometimes trade offs in the brain where some brain functions are bit weaker.
So you are at MENSA that is awesome. Maybe some members hava a chip on their shoulder and migh be to focused on even getting more smarter so social skills get worse. If they might focus on social skills they may get better at it but may diminish in other areas slightly.
Though when we look at Elon Musk it seems like he knows quite a lot stuff and learns new stuff from different fields very fast. People who know him tell that.

All it means is that you have to work at different things harder than a person with a lower IQ.
I used to get A's in school barely studying or opening a book. Lower IQ people had to study their asses off to get B's or C's sometimes.
I had to work very hard to come out of my introvert shell and learn how to be extroverted when I need to be and be social and learn how to talk with women. That was very difficult for me and I had to work really hard at it. Being in sales was the best thing that happened in that regard...you learn how to interact with people or you don't eat. Forces you to learn and adapt really quick. For some of the other lower IQ people it came easy.
You never have to accept where you are at in life with anything. All this means is that each person will have to work harder at certain things than other things to improve at them, whereas those things come easy for other people.
Now, you may never get to a point where you are as good as someone who it comes naturally to no matter how hard you work at it, but there is no reason you can't greatly improve from where you are at currently.
Lets take golf for example. You might never be a PGA Tour Pro, but if you went out every week and played 4 rounds of golf religiously for a year, you'd notice a huge improvement from where you are now to where you'd be in a year. It's like that with anything in life. If you focus your time and energy on improving in that area, you will improve.
How seriously you take it and how focused you are on doing whatever it takes to improve is usually what separates those who make marked improvement versus those who see little improvement.
"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.
