"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.

Do you think these comments are just a bitter harridans trying to shame older men into dating harridans?

I was reading this reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomenOver30/comments/bsxxno
Men wanting younger women was a trend centuries before OLD was everywhere, but OLD makes it easier. My take on it is to feel relieved that they’re telling me who they are. A man who wants to crack open a fresh virgin every time is not someone I want to date. I’d write him off rather than try to convince him that someone closer to his age is a more wholesome choice.
I’m finding a lot of 45+ men saying that they want kids ‘someday’ on their profiles... Dude, your ship has all but sailed.
This is the single biggest reason I quit OLD. I had predominantly men in their mid 60s and 70s contacting me. Dude,, seriously? They are too good for women their age and men my age didn’t even include their own age in their range. For some reason it majorly grossed me out.
I feel the same as you. I’m 51 and fairly active. Most guys I see on dating apps look old and worn out. I just don’t find that attractive. I feel kind of invisible though because guys my age seem to want younger women and younger guys want younger women and the only guys who are interested in me are in their late 50s and 60s.
Men have to go that young because women their own age can see right through their bull****.

Bro, it's a waste of time taking Reddit posts seriously. Re-posting stuff like this actually makes you look bad, not the ladies. Stop getting triggered on what you read on Reddit.

Primarily, they are engaging in groupthink to buttress their unrealistic positions. The male shaming is secondary.
 

"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.
