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.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Does it make you more appreciative of what you have?mahon83050 said:Not to mention the guy was only 5'4". Is he happy with himself? Maybe, I don't know. However, I can't imagine looking like that and being happy.
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.
Deus ex Pianoforte said:Sounds about right. The guy denouncing a looks-matter thread is out nailing the hotties while the guy PERPETUATING the looks-matter myth is losing his virginity after being on the site for 7 years.
so how many thousands of cold approaches have you done to get this loser mindset?Deus ex Pianoforte said:Tricky question. Have I used the tools on this site to gain confidence? Yes. Did they work? No. Have I hooked up with any girls because of the tools? I have a girlfriend, but in the 2 years that I've been on this site I've had exactly one opportunity to hook up with a girl. And she was wasted. Far below average success, so I must be far below average-looking, right? Of course not; that's absurd. But that's exactly what guys like mahon are trying to preach.
Oh, I don't whine. I accept my lack of confidence as a major personal flaw. We all have them. My flaw just happens to be the number one quality women look for in a man. And every time I try I either get ignored and occassionally flat-out rejected. I must be REALLY ugly, right?
This is one of the main reasons this thread is illegal, btw. There's nothing to argue. The facts speak for themselves.
How are you not banned? You make no points.mahon83050 said:You're an idiot my friend. Just look how you yourself treat attractive people subconsciously and all of the studies done on it. So I guess these experts and psycologists are all idiots as well?
I got laid last month, but it was not my first time. Where the hell did that come from.
