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.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
My study is indeed not pointless as it does touch on a lot, and some aspects are interesting to me. I'm currently following up on your advice to figure out what i could do and become when i'm done. Its pretty wide and catches a lot of jobs but not very specific, after i'm done i'm still required to learn the ins and outs of the specific job that i'm going to do. And if i figure out what i want to do i could start to get associated with people in those kinds of fields early on, and that is something i value.muscleman said:First, business management is a catch-all degree, so it's not entirely pointless. The real question is - do you LIKE what you're learning and the career opportunities that await? Do you even know what the opportunities are? If not, you need to find out ASAP.
What is your dead end job? Why is it dead end? What can you get out of it before moving on to the next thing? My 2-3 month remark was regarding certain fields, not others. For example:
I'd like to know your understanding on how to be a cool guy in a group. Regardless of leading or not, sometimes i have stuff to say and at other times i let people talk. I'd like to know how to be cool regardless of what i'm doing at the moment. I guess the best way for you to give feedback would be for me to record myself. But i ain't doing that haha.muscleman said:First, can you give more details on what you mean about 'handling a group as an alpha'? I mean, what specifically do you want to know? How to lead in a group? To be the cool dude? To get all the attention? To get some attention? To get 'no' attention but still swoop a chick from the group? To pick a target? To be the guy others want to be friends with? What exactly? Handling a group is very different depending on your goal.
Hope this helps.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I've done some thinking and there are directly 3 points that stick out.muscleman said:Obnoxious and cool don't go together, so maybe you're not using the right word or have some work to do. Don't worry, you won't be an 'out of control ball of good emotions' for long. It's not a bad thing though. Since you're feeling good, it's time to start building some positive habits (especially since you have more time now that you quit your gaming addiction) and do a little - or a lot - of introspection.
Thanks for the advice, if i could rep you i would do so again.muscleman said:From the sound of it you're just not sure how to handle this newfound energy. It'll come with time. Running from point A to B for no reason is kind of weird, so you may want to find a reason (go running or lift if you have that much pent up energy) and stop doing it randomly.
It's awesome that you feel great, don't get me wrong, but temper it a little and channel it to productive endeavors.
As for introversion/extraversion, that's fairly complex. People aren't really either one; everyone has certain intro/extra qualities. I wouldn't say I don't have any problems with my verbal game. I mean, I don't stumble anymore if that's what you're saying, but I'm not a smooth talker 100% of the time. Generally, if I don't have something to say, I just keep my mouth shut and it's served me well thus far. Then again, it's all about practice, practice, practice. I built MASSIVE social skills doing personal training/sales/bartending because you're interacting with strangers - sometimes over 100 in a day - constantly.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.
