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.
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.
Find the most rational response - use your rationality!collegeEJ said:mofro, don't take it out on me just because your girlfriend is cheating on you with her "best friend that's a guy.":rockon:
No, for real though, I appreciate the feedback from your perspective. It is really crazy to me the completely contradicting feedback I have gotten from this post. Everybody has their own interpretation of how things are and I'm still clueless. This might be the first and last time I seek advice on an internet board about a specific girl.
At this stage i think its not fully in the strictly friends category- but i can see it leaning towards heading that way.alright MMA Juan, I do plan on making a move, so what would your advice be on that??
YEEE-HAA!!Last Man Standing said:you are talking crazy!! It is her who was disrespectful to her b/f by getting in the hot tub with you!! This tells you that she has no loyalty - she is a "easy" girl"!
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.
.originally posted byCollegeEjWe studied together today for around four hours. I seemed to get to know her a lot better and we really opened up a lot in our conversation. I did ask her today if she was caught by surprise when I came up and randomly approached her at school and she said she was and that she doesn't get approached randomly like that by guys, and I was a little surprised. I guess that answers our question about how often good-looking girls get approached
yes this is weird, but not as much as you think. we all have our own "personal" ideas of what we think are flaws..just like as skinny chick thinking she is fat. yuo see what youwant to see.originally posted by collegeEJ
It might seem wierd but I constantly worry about my eyes and freaking people out with my eyes and I think this, in turn, giving off a bad vibe. Anybody else have this problem or is that just wierd??
Ducaro, I don't believe that you are 57, otherwise you would not be so astounded by my hor references since you have had the life experiences to validate my obvious claims!ducaro said:YEEE-HAA!!
I don't believe it! LMS you did it! As soon as I saw your post, my eye balls went into 'rapid movement mode' scanning the lines for the word 'Hor'.. and this time- not there!!! Isn't this like the first time!!?? Geezaloo, you are improving after all!!Hurra Hurra
