"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.

Lately I haven't logged on any dating apps too much but I got a match a few days ago and I've been practicing getting into the right mindset. Overall I've been busting my @ss. With the expression, using this method:


This is an average looking 30yo woman. I don't think I'll actually go on a date with her. For me she's somewhat attractive but through this conversation I feel like I'm being treated like an object. I also don't like my performance here. I feel and think that I should be doing better than this. I'm going to keep working at it until I nail it.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

And for any of you lurkers out there. If I can work six days a week for the past couple months and still show measurable improvement, with things like texting and cold approaches, you 9 to 5'ers have no excuses.

Dude...what are we doing here?

How are you gonna lead the conversation in this direction, then disqualify her for submitting and going in that direction with you? Do you even know what you want? This woman is 12 years younger than you, attractive, highly interested, and submitted to your frame.

I don't understand the logic in asking for something and being disappointed when it's given to you.

This looks unfinished.

How did the story end?

She just replied a minute ago saying that she wants to hang out with me and she'll let me know when she gets off work tomorrow.

She's coming on pretty strong. I'll have to see how this goes.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

So anyway she said that she doesn't want to go dancing because she gets too tired after work and wants to grab drinks instead. Not my kind of girl and not happening.

Why are you so committed to dancing?

This is such a slam dunk to the point where SHE offered YOU a more intimate alternative. Do you think you self-sabotage? Because I'm starting to think you're your own worst enemy.

I'll like it better if she comes back to me otherwise I don't think I'm losing anything. She's not 100% my type anyway and I talk to women prettier than her from time to time despite my six day, ~50 hour, bust my @ss work schedule.
 

"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.

"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.

Have you considered that dancing might be an awkward first date for a chick? If it’s a must-have that she’s a line dancer .. just try for numbers at the club/ event. It’s a spanner in the works otherwise.
He's a salsa snob if memory serves. But here's the thing. Every girl loves to dance. So meet her for drinks & see what happens. After you get laid she will be much more open to going dancing.

Just don't be a rigid teacher type on the dance floor. You are there to move & have fun. I am an accomplished dancer, but God has a sense of humor & paired me with a man who doesn't really care about dancing...so I'm probably rusty now because I won't go without him, lol.

If by knowing they self you mean displaying extreme rigidity instead of fluidity that's more like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I know what I want and a girl who gets tired that easily is not going to work. The way she came on leads me to believe that she's a bit too mature. I don't want to stoop down to that level where I go on dates with women who I lack attraction for.

I'm getting better and better. I just need to target younger women.

It could be but I like dates that are more active. It gets the blood flowing.

You know what else gets the blood flowing? Sex.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
