"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.

Have you ever been in confrontation with a person, that is impossible to reason with, and turned out tube an a-hole. Confronting just for the sake of confronting, because he is an a-hole. Just because.

I am in situation like this right now. Nothing I can do, but to ride this out. Yesterday wanted to kill him though, went outside chased him around. Guy got scared, instead of going to his home, ran around, thinking he could confuse me of where he lives. I had 1 hour of sleep in the past 48 and I figured out where he lives. Obviously what police says first, but if not, I'm not alone.
 

"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.

Obviously, we don't have the full context here, but when you are in a state of anger like that you'd better watch yourself.

You can get cheap cameras on Amazon or at Walmart. They can connect to your phone
 

"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.

You guys should learn martial arts…some proficient styles like boxing, kickboxing…wrestling or brazilian juijitsu for ground game….then learn the art of meditation for keeping a cool head…then learn verbal judo for diffusing tense situations with speech and body language.


This will make you ready for a fight.

Can you provide more context? What did he do?

That's a clip from a television news broadcast, which YouTube now says is offensive. Road rage fat chick sucker punches a smaller guy, and that turns out to be a poor decision.

Most people eventually end up in the hospital or dead. You seem to want to get into arguments for no reason.

Grow up. As you mature, you realize these are pointless and usually only serve to greatly shorten your lifespan.
 

"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.
