"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.

We're talking bourbon, scotch, rye, Tennessee whiskey, etc.

What's the best you've ever had?

For me it was the whistle pig rye 10 year old. It went down like liquid candy, gentlemen. Old fashioned chewy butterscotch.

Lets hear it. What's the best whiskey you've ever had.
 

"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.

Macallan's 18 but I've had top of the line Papi bourbon Im just a scotch guy
I've never had Papi but I know it's widely sought after and some of the prices I've seen on it are outrageous. Macallan 18 is good stuff.

Jack Daniel's number 7.
Good old Jack Daniels. The diet coke of whiskey :D

JD's single barrel select is very good. Comes in a decanter looking bottle. If you haven't tried it you should definitely do so in the future.

While back a couple of buddies and I went on a backpacking trip across Scotland, stopping at several distilleries. Each included a tour and plenty of samples.

I'd have to say one of those.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Blanton's bourbon, Laphroaig 10 year old scotch and Jhonny Walker Blue. The Blue was a gift, and while it was smooth as can be, I'd never spend that much myself.

When I was 19, I drank most of a fifth of Jim Beam black label, and then puked it everywhere during a Nine Inch Nails concert. It was not one of my finer moments. I haven't been able to stomach whiskey since then.

Yeah it's crazy how early memories like that can affect you all the way throughout your life.

I've actually never had JW Blue. I'd really like to try it though.

I'd love to do that one day. Which distilleries were you able to visit?

Don't remember the exact names, but we started in Skye and ended up in Aberdeen after a week or so. Glen Ord, Glenfiddich, Glen Garioch, and a few others.

More than the whiskey, the people (and the ladies) especially in the boonies were friendly as hell.
