Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Most women think they are the prize and will question men about themselves. Many times when questioned, AFC's will go on the defensive on things. People go on the defensive when they have something to hide. It may be nothing major but when you go on the defensive it tells the other person you have something to hide.

A good example of this was the other day when me and my plate were arranging sleeping arrangments when she visits me in october. She lives far away and we only met once for an hour.

She mentioned that she doesn't mind sharing a bed and joked that she'll kick me out if I'm turning all night. Before in my AFC days I would have said no i don't turn toss and turn in bed and reassured her but now I don't go on the defensive anymore. I told her I hope she doesn't snore or I'll kick her out!

Thats just a small example and I turned the situation around by not reacting and going on the offensive in a joking manner.

Being defensive is a big reaction and you only react like that when a person has higher value then you and you're looking to please them. If you were babysitting your 6 year old nephew and he accused you of doing something you did or didn't do how would you react? You'd laugh at him because it wouldn't really matter to you.

So, don't react or be defensive! :up:
 

"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.
