"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.

Sup guys. Over the last couple of months i've been getting into movie collectibles etc. A company named Sideshow Collectibles are probably one of the better manufacturers out there, namely because they can work with actual special effect crews that worked on the movies. I've been chasing a couple of Terminator pieces, one of which I managed to get ahold of finally:

But i'm still on the hunt for these 2 pieces which will be impossible to find:

I've also ordered a Predator bust, from AVP Requiem:

And pre ordered an Ironman Bust:

Anyone else into this stuff?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Old school Pokemon cards... the original ones... I loved them... when I think about them I get good nostalgic feelings. I still remember how I got into it and my first Pokemon card.

Even though before I got into Pokemon I was completely "rebellious" about it and thought it was a stupid fad, a teammate on my soccer team game me a Magmar card... then I was obsessed.

Now, Pokemon has too many types and the names are so random, stupid or just way too Japanese sounding to be appealing in the US.

Go Qwertyuiop, go!

This is how it used to look like: Old school

This is how it looks like now: Shit

The SUPER rare card that everyone wanted to steal from the rich kid: Charizard

I used to collect as much alcohol as possible, various exotic drinks, fine vodkas, gins, liquors, etc.

Those days are over now..

So i've got ahold of 3 so far, Terminator Endoskull is still coming from overseas (Ebay).

Predator: http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1001569xf2.jpg

Arnie: http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=t800lifesizedbust2040mh1.jpg

Endoskull: http://img357.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img347020mediumvt5.jpg

I'm currently bidding on the Endoskeleton Arm, which hopefully I will win and this madness can end: http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=t800armbigreplica3tz2.jpg

Also got Ironman pre-ordered which should be coming out this month :D :http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img9540nm8bo5.jpg

And that will probably do me for a few years.
 

"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.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
I used to collect old wines... they taste pretty good. I have a nice Cheval Blanc from Bordeux... 1983. My friends have gotten me more into vodka lately though.
