"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.

Ah anime been watching it since Sailormoon came out.

DBZ was ok but I liked Dragonball better.

Paper Man means that DBZ was the pioneer for fighting shonen anime, which is roughly anime made for boys. Stuff like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter, Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Or maybe he means it's the pioneer for anime in America. In the past we've had Voltron and Thundercats then basically nothing for ten years. Then we got Sailormoon, Dragonball and Dragonball Z all coming out at around the same time. After that the floodgates were opened and now it's a steady rush.

As for Naruto, I fell bad for the people that only watch it in English. They are now getting into the filler arc. Man that time sucked I stopped watching for a few months than resumed with shippuden and now everything is ok again.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Why? For the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra?

Kidding. Second entry in Google is about a live action Dragonball movie. Live action anime kind of scares me. It could end up being almost decent or completely god awful.

"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.

Evangelion is probably going to turn into a movie too. Now that's scary.

Cowboy Bebop.

Enough said. :whistle:

I loved that show, one of the few animes that I actually watched on TV without downloading on the internet.

Samurai Champloo, which was basically made by the same team that did Bebop, is also a great series.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

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.

Yeah, but the date has been pushed back to 2009.
 

"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.

Actually, Robotech and Star Blazers were THE pioneer for anime in America. Thundercats was not anime and Voltron was bowlderdized and sanitized for American kids. Robotech and Star Blazers were the first American anime releases to present a dramatic story for kids without dumbing down or sanitizing the violence. These two shows ushered in an organized fandom for anime that didn't exist before.

Sailor Moon and DBZ were the spearhead of the Third Wave of anime fandom (first being Robotech and StarBlazers, second being Akira) and represent the commercialization and mainstreaming of anime.

Space Cruiser Yamato and the Super Dimension Fortress-1!!! :rockon:
Which was better weapon, the Wave Motion gun or the Reflex Cannon? It would have been nice to see the two battleships go against each other.

I forgot about Robotech. Yeah that was a pioneer. I never heard of Star Blazers. What about Speed Racer? My dad used to watch that when he was a kid.

Akira was one movie and it I don't think it was aired on TV so I don't know how big it's impact was. Any more data about the 2nd wave?

As for "bowlderdized" anime, that has happened to a great many of shows. Heck even Sailormoon which is technically a girls show got censored. The final season, Sailor Stars was never aired because some executives thought it was too "adult orientated" be be shown on day time TV.

What funny is that I think it's great that more and more anime is being shown on American TV and that it's getting more exposure. But the thing is, for the past 5 years or so 99.9% of the anime I watch is fansubbed, that I downloaded.

Speaking of fansubbed and Macross in the previous post, anybody check out "Macross Frontier"? So far only one episode is out and the next one isn't due out till April.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
