"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.

A relationship it's a rental agreement

"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.

So to get them, men have to steal them
“You shall not commit adultery."
“You shall not steal."
“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.
there has to be the implicit threat of cheating
General consensus on this, but I don't agree to a woman that stay after cheating.
Worse, I don't agree a man stay after he cheated onher

@Manure Spherian Is there any epub version of that book?

Iron Rule of Tomassi #4
NEVER under any circumstance live with a woman you aren’t married to or are not planning to marry in within 6 months.

It's good to caution clueless men who don't know what they're in for or lack experience. But otherwise Rollo's "rules" are too dogmatic, specious, and based on fear and low value.

Lots of guys get into and out of domestic arrangements with girlfriends. It is not the end of the world and most dudes survive and move on.

Notice Rollo puts a premium on marriage. IOW he'd rather have the illusion of commitment by fiat than accept that a woman might leave him. And yet marriages dissolve every day. It's easier to get out of an LTR than a marriage, this we know.

Per Rollo: "Moving in with a woman implies commitment, and whenever you commit to anything you lose your two most valuable resources, options and the ability to maneuver."

My status has changed over the years and yet I've never lost either.

Too many supposed RP guys still live in fear of being alone or losing a relationship. You'll be fine no matter what.
 

"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.

The biggest problem with marriage isnt the commitment. That idea is beautiful yet a bit naive

The problem is that marriage is a legal contract and the state and the stupid lawyers and judges get involved. That makes exiting it terrible (very unlike returning a rental car, given the rental contract thread)

Good point!

Getting out of a rental arrangement is usually easy. A divorce is a long, protracted and expensive experience and can turn into a living nightmare if you have a vindictive wife. I would never advise any man to get married.
