"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 am going to one day go back to NYC no matter what happens so I want the city to do well. As much as I may sound like hating on the city, Manhattan made me. However, I know it is not doable for most young people. So many of my classmates who moved ended up moving out after a couple of years. The city has a big grind factor to it that most young people cannot handle.

The networking opportunities are insane and it has a lot to offer but I can see why Chicago would be ranked so high. It is a cleaner and somewhat more relaxed version of NYC. You walk the streets that are so wide so you no longer have to cuss like a sailor because the tourist in front of you is walking slow and you have to get around them.

I will always love NYC (well really only just Manhattan), it made me.
Sometimes I wonder if Chicago is gonna be the next top US city in the coming decade.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Similar experience except for the fact that now, so much has gone remote and online. If you are only going for a career in a given niche space like let's say tech, I will suggest Seattle and San Francisco (even Austin) over NYC anyday. IMO, the networking pays off in NYC if you are in big finance or big4 consulting but those fields are trending downwards.
Where were you born again?
