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'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.
Yes, possibly because you don't leave the house. Always online. Showing the world who is boss over a computer screen. An unfunny, half-witted, small minded and boring fool. You can probably program computers like there is no tommorow. Well done boy. Real social interaction? You couldn't handle it.I'm like this in real life too.

Incedently, if you don't give two ****s. Stop answering. Very moronic.
That's funny. Your profile says you registered this October.Dont dismiss me because i have few posts. I've been around here for a long time. Since 2002 infact.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

But... but... but Squirrels! A moderator once closed a thread so now I must devote my life to following them around from thread to thread whining about it and comparing it to Nazism, fascism, et cetera.Originally posted by squirrels
Fvcking internet is rife with geeks and losers who have nothing better to do than raise chaos on an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD.

You forgot option four: His old user name wasn't anywhere NEAR as kick-ass cool as WesCottII.Originally posted by Sexy_Malibu
Gee... that never occured to me. [/sarcasm]
So which scenario is it:
(1) You were banned and came crawling back as someone new
OR
(2) You created a new-newbie username because you're a chicken
OR
(3) You're so smart you forget your original passwords

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Yeah, using my own second name was a stroke of genius on my part. Shame the two best names were takenOriginally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Dude, it's all right. Not everyone can have a name as cool as Giovanni Casanova.Originally posted by WesCottII

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 don't want my posts taken down. I am just angry at the direction this site is taking. It's as if the majority of the people who have joined since I was here last have not grown a bit, give horrible advice, are immature and there's not enough mature posters around anymore to set a good example for the newbies. One of the root causes of that problem is that somewhere along the line the sense of community was lost. The moderation policies of some are contributing to that problem and rather than listen and recognize it when it's pointed out, some of the moderators get defensive and start flaming anyone who disagrees with them or voices concerns. Arguments ensue and you get 9 page threads that Allen takes one look at, shakes his head and goes out to have a few beers in disgust.Originally posted by Don Ronny
Boy.. I am glad I only read this last page.
WTF is wrong with some of you?
My 2 cents....
Legally WYldfire doesnt have a case. She clicked "I Agree" on the disclaimer page and has forfeited the rights to her work. Case closed.
My only question is..what does Allen have to say about all this?
cheers mate! *holds up 6th beer*Originally posted by Wyldfire
shakes his head and goes out to have a few beers in disgust.![]()
For the record I agree with you on some points. I think it's sad that Allen doesnt address the big concerns here. He is asleep at the wheel and the site is suffering for it. It seems that the mods are being hired without much thought, just to handle the massive loads of posting that this site attracts. But doesnt it occur to you that modding is no easy task? I dont think any of these guys get paid (or laid) to do this.....umm except maybe Gio, who is banging a forum member (way to go, dude!)Originally posted by Wyldfire

Now see , ya just gone and proved my point, Vinnie. Mods are not supposed to tell posters to "go f*ck themselves" I am very surprised that you are allowed to post sh!t like this, as it sets the wrong example.Originally posted by Vincent
To quote boondock saints
"Make like a tree and go f*ck yourself."
Flame wars are fun, yes, but modderating isn't a job. Its something we volunteer for.
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.
