"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.

Here’s a few things Ive noticed so far:

- More Obese people
- my social media like instagram is being flooded with personal trainer fitness ads. I feel like the government is spying on us, like they know Im a little on the heavy side and a bachelor, why not bombard this dude with these ads?
- bad vibe customer service
-less people outside, in South East Asia, someone was always outside playing or socializing.
- more dangerous now to be driving outside at late hours during this type of the year because of drunk drivers
- The women Im attracting on dating apps are more obese, plumb compared to the petite, slender asian women I had in The Pacific.
- Still a great place to drive and cruise during the day.

"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.

Maybe those personal fitness ads are trying to say something about you?

I need to start a workout routine or Im going to gain some pounds out here man, my folks got me some Burger King and the burgers are huge compared to the ones in South East Asia. Brisk walking, yoga and meditation to lower the cortisol should do the trick.

Not sure this makes much sense since the issue is excess calories, insulin activity and has little to do with cortisol in this context.
 

"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 noticed meditation and yoga gets rid of the bloatedness right away, especially if you’ve ate some sh1tty freakin fattening foods. Its a good way to stabilize your core again lol

That's just not how it works and this is your mind convincing yourself of something that isn't actually happening.
