"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

hey. I was looking through some google searches for acne scars because of my face. I saw some that said a acne scar can be the last stage of acne or something like that. I saw google images and saw some pictures of people that have very little holes on their face and its red. Thats exactly what i have on my phucking face, and its pissing me off because in the mornings, my face is very clear. Then when it gets A LITTLE warm starting like at 11:00, those little holes make that part of my face turn red as an apple. I used to grow lots of pimples on my face, but i only get like 1-3 every month(not a big deal), but now its these reddist phucking spots. I dont know how long this will last, or if it permanent. and its really crazy that no one in my dad's or mom's family ever had acne, but im the only one in their generation that had acne. Just wondering if theirs anything i can do to help "heal" this scar. Surgery or laser treatment is the last thing on my mind.

THANKS!
 

"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.

You're only 16, acne is normal at your age. Wait a few years and it will probably heal itself.

Doesn't sound like acne. Just sounds like your face gets really red and your pores are visible. Acne scars show up all the time, believe me. Usually slight discoloration where you used to have a pimple if it was a smaller one, and sometimes, for those deeper zits, you get raised scars, as if you burnt yourself. The colors fade, but the bumps need to be fixed by a dermatologist.

"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.
