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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
dump her. That would be pretty C&F. U don´t deserve a gf ,yet. Learn what this site is really about first, then you´ll understand.inzone50 said:When my g/f txts me asking how my day was got a good c+f reply to that?
Believe me, ****y funny works. It may not have worked for you, or you might not have done it right, or given it a fair shot, but it works. It is like a food condiment, you gotta now how and when to use and how much to use it in order to make it work effectively. You can't just pour it on, it looses its effect.NickBe said:Lay off the ****y+funny it is a myth perpetrated by David Deangelo that doesn't really work unless you are going for 15 year old girls or women with the mentality of a 15 year old.
****y = Obnoxious
****y = Annoying
****y = Clown
I don't see why you would want to be c+f anyway since she is your GF.
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.
****y, yet not overdone, works. The humor part is used to make the ****y part more mellow. OK, semantics, who cares wether it is confident, or ****y, etc. it is the same idea. Ok, so you don't agree with the terminology, yet we are talking about the same thing. I agree with you, most people here will try it and wonder why the girls run away. Even ****y itself works if done right. As long as it is not overdone to the point of being seen as overcompensating for other shortcomings.NickBe said:I am not wrong, you are not wrong either you are just using the wrong word. ****y does not work because ****y is obnoxious, confident+funny works. I do not like using the word ****y with these newbies because they get the wrong idea. Then i have to see posts like
"I tried ****y and funny and said 'I am so hot I am to good for you' and she got mad"
****y does not work and most of the crap David D writes does not work. Confidence however does work....
Although I do go for smart women so maybe ****iness works with your run of the mill white American chick. If I wanted to spend my days discussing American Idol and fast food maybe I should be a little more ****y. Who knows...
Seriously though, women love confidence and deplore ****iness. Confident+funny works not ****y+funny.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
