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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I agree overall, but it's not that men are better at being an exec or something, it's all about women NOT GOING INTO THOSE FIELDS and putting in the hours and making the sacrifices it takes to get to that level. All things being equal women take easier, cushier, less difficult jobs on the whole and work less hours annually. All combined, BAM! there's your wage gap. It's been well documented for quite some time now. Check out the sidebar at http://www.reddit.com/r/mensrights. Hell, just look up the Consad report. The information is out there. Even NOW recognizes that the wage gap is a myth at this point.Greasy Pig said:So if there are no women in senior management, does that mean the company hates women or that the women who applied weren't up to scratch?
I refuse to accept the bullsht that women aren't employed as executives purely because they're women.
They just can't accept that a man is sometimes better at the job.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I would disagree with the first part. Men tend to be stronger leaders, are more able to form effective teams and are more likely to do better in executive type positions.Nutz said:I agree overall, but it's not that men are better at being an exec or something, it's all about women NOT GOING INTO THOSE FIELDS and putting in the hours and making the sacrifices it takes to get to that level.

samspade said:Women will always play the misogyny/sexism card. It's hammered into their brains from day one thanks to movies like this. And whenever they interview successful women, they always have to brag about all the sexist obstacles they overcame. I understand why anyone who's achieved success might look for motivation and take a "nobody believed in me" attitude. Unfortunately, for American women, the boogeyman must always be the archetypal, stereotypical Sexist Misogynist White Male Executive, forever conspiring to keep her down.
The truth is that women are a far greater threat to each other than most men. Women are the true misogynists. They will backbite and backstab and play dirty to eliminate their female competition. I've seen many a woman seethe with hatred over her female boss. Most men who have a-hole male bosses, while they may not like it, shrug their shoulders and consider their options, because a man will usually understand that nobody put him in that position but himself, and he can find a way out. Females in the work force are far more likely to find a scapegoat. Again - lack of accountability....funny how it always circles back to that.

Plus the type of women that go for these types of jobs are pretty masculine anyways. Its those masculine skills that are needed for these jobs.
The whole PC idea that women can do whatever men can do needs to die. While they may be able to, it comes at cost, be it extra effort, extra work, or even their feminitity.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
