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.
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'm not saying don't have a good time ocassionally, but you're gonna notice something when you get done with school. You're going to see most of the people who partied constantly get their a** kicked by reality. Most of them have no plans for their life outside of party and get laid.Contender said:My dilemma: doing well at school, and having the time to meet girls; and hang out with people socially.
That's a very good point, actually; what college did you attend?RedPill said:I'm not saying don't have a good time ocassionally, but you're gonna notice something when you get done with school.

Actually, back in the school days if I hadn't been such an AFC dumba** I could have gotten laid frequently with minimal partying. Just remember what your priorities are - 1) building a great life for yourself 2) chicks. Most people go by herd mentality though and have those priorities backwards.
A side note... I can't tell you how many girls in college I inadvertantly got hot for me by blowing off because I acted like I had a thousand better things to do than deal with their petty dramas and games. In retrospect I could have easily scored with them while continuing to be the bookworm.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Building a great life for yourself and then go for chicks is great and will make it easier for you to succeed with girls. But you cant just spend 4 years focusing on yourself. That's why you need to balance it.RedPill said:I'm not saying don't have a good time ocassionally, but you're gonna notice something when you get done with school.
