"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey, longtime reader here, I've never posted but there is always great advice here. Anyway, to the point: I have no problem being myself around people... but then I realize that I am pretty damn awkward and goofy 90% of the time. I was just wondering what basic guidelines you guys follow to keep your cool, but still be fun and real around other people. Thanks.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Many dating experts, Neil Strauss in particular, amended the dating adage "Just be yourself" to "Just be your BEST self," meaning working on yourself, improving yourself in different areas.

So in your case, work on remaining calm around girls and build your confidence (there are MANY different ways to build up confidence. Try actually googling the question for tips),. Also, associate with guys who are "naturals," guys who are good with and around women....

There are lots of different aspects of everyone, maybe start looking at being the best YOU in different ways. Besides the funny, light hearted you, what best you...um are you when something needs to get done, when you are reaching for a goal, when you are turned on by a woman etc. etc. etc. You aren't one dimentional, there are many facets of who you are. Explore them
