"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.

Fear is the choke point of civilization, the ultimate limiter. At each and every level, the balance heavily weighs towards the darker aspects where push would have prevailed. It enervates confidence, the opalescence that sustains society is the fiber of human connections. The adaptation at the earlier stages of development is the fundamental foundation of relative personality. With upward mobility, the expectation that satisfy a person extend in a bell curve. The relative results amongst similar peoples builds a web of self-insured stability. It can only experience change via meeting and adapting to the standards cultured to a separate block of sentience. America is the highest block; not hierarchically, but en masse. An economy of limited resources is spread thin on a pit of quicksand. Progress forward diminishes the outward effect that is psychological entitlement. The myriad pitfalls in the system invariably damage the final infrastructure. Expanding freedom in a closed bottle will eventually explode the bottle. The true question to consider: how do we open the bottle safely? Repetitive entertainment is a feedback loop. As long as cracks and holes exist, a symbol, a mark of resonant information shared amongst analogous minds, will continue to build upon itself. A bird with clipped wings will fly, albeit fly into the sea. But the societal mechanism that supports us can only fail when our only self-supplied resources are blame and humor. Levity when it is too hot, shifted culpability when it is too cold. If we never temper the glass that is our national facade, it will not break, it will be Torn. To. Pieces.
 

"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.
