"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

are women more critical than men in job interview? I had job interview recently which a woman asked me lots of questions compare to the guy. I wonder if gender affects the outcome of interview.
 

"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 just had two interviews from the same company (and got the job :D ). The first woman was very critical and I really had to step it up a notch with her. The second woman was very laid back.

Gender probably has a very small role in interview styles, overshadowed by individual differences.

I was nervous on job interview. I think I screw it up near the end.

Women are emotional, not logical. If there is attraction, you can get away with anything. Looking back on my sales jobs, almost all of my sales were to women. When I do pretend court stuff at law school, I seem to be able to sell the women evaluators any crazy argument. Creating attraction with a woman is like when a woman flashes us her cleavage; both make the other gender instantly stupid. I love it. Attraction is the taking away of a woman's power and using those same forces against her. And the good part for us guys is that regardless of our physical looks, we can proactively create many of the qualities to which women are attracted, such as dressing well, eye contact, smiling, and most importantly, confidence, which will become greater with time as you begin to realize that you have instant power over 53% of the world's people.

Then you meet a fat, middle aged woman who knows you're hot stuff and that she will never EVER be able to have you. It will make her feel better about herself if she can 'reject' you first. Instant enemy really, being attractive can be a two-edged sword.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
