"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.

I feel like I am a dinosaur... I have never used online dating.... and have no social media. Are there others here that have somehow managed to remain frozen circa 2000?
 

"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.

My girlfriend is one such dinosaur, it's very refreshing to be with someone who doesn't have any social media and isn't constantly checking her phone.

I no longer have social media as im disgusted by the misinformation and and rumor spreading it has become. I have however online dated since 2005 or so. Once you jump in you'll figure it out fast enough, aint rocket science.

You missed out on the "golden era" of online dating.
Its currently way past it's prime.
I wouldn't even bother with it if I were you.
I completely stopped using social media a decade ago because the quality kept dropping drastically every year.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Zero social media. I'm old and my kid and friends can be annoying watching them amuse themselves with the phone world. Did Facebook when it was new, a handful of childhood girlfriends found me and it was just too strange and I disappeared. I'm in mid move from Liberal-Land to the Midwest. I put up an Avatar, that's a pic of my new front yard.

I know zero people there accept family. So I signed up on POF, free only and my first time. I'm a bit concerned about 50-60 Midwest images of women. Game plan will have to be different than that fiasco. (no disrespect) but Its kinda spooky. So NO you're not the only low tech Dinosaur.

trust me... I’m avoiding it all. When it first started people viewed it as odd. I remember people joking it was for losers that couldn’t deal with reality. My cousin met his wife off Match and I remember people joking at the wedding about it..... then online dating became a big thing.

Social media is the main cause of depression. It's why so many women are depressed and miserable because they are addicted to their phone and social media. I deleted my accounts about 2 months ago. Awesome feeling. I still use OLD to spin plates, nothing serious and its how it should be treated.
 

"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.

I don't use a smartphone, prefer single player games, don't use social media and don't understand what the hell happened. Young people call me grandpa now and give me the side ways glance when I mention I only have a land line. :D

You're not missing anything. I admire you. I don't use online dating either, and only use social media for marketing my business, but I no longer use it for personal stuff due to previous bad experiences.

If you can do cold approaches in person in 2021 then you're a rare breed of guy and it will make you stand out from other guys in the eyes of women, since so few guys do cold approach these days (pandemic notwithstanding).

Totally agree. I had a field day on OLD but within 2 years the tables turned on OLD from a hookup site to women attention wh0res. Its trash.

I keep fb because I score a lot of dates and lays from it. I'm not on FB to see pics from little Johnnie's birthday party. I use it primarily to get laid. And it works easily.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
