"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The last time I saw a black couple hold hands was in middle school and all the guys made fun of the kid and he stopped holding her hand.

Is this a cultural thing??? I see white couples, Asians and especially Hispanic couples displaying public signs of affection all the time.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

A black guy that is very observant of the people and things around him.

How about observations of other races or is this just a "black thang?" I don't know, it just seems like people can easily find what they look for.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yes we hold hands. Jeesh. Just because one couple was getting teased for being too sugary sweet, doesn't mean that you can generalize that to an entire race across all age groups.

Are you suggesting that I look for black people not displaying signs of public affection??? I'm not sure why anyone would look for something like this not to happen. I'm a fking black guy and this is what I have observed.

Ive seen black couples being very affectionate. Must just be the people you hang out with.
 

"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.

No I have not.

Of course I'm using other races as my reference. Maybe you didn't read my original post where I compared blk couples to asians, whyts and hispanics?

Every school that I have ever attended was highly diverse. My high school was like 60/40 white blk, my college has a similar racial make up, my neighborhood oddly enough is becoming whiter by the hour and I haven't observed blacks displaying the same amount of affection as other groups. I'm not claiming that my observations are emperical, but they have to mean something more than "you find what you look for." Please save the PC shyt for the ladies, hell even the ladies agree with me. I chatted to some female friends today about this subject and they have experienced the same thing(not an aggregate yeah yeah.)

If you haven't been exposed to black culture (tv/music do not count) I don't understand how you can really respond to this post. Go out and watch people and I promise you will see the same thing.

If you haven't left your back yard and even traveled to half the places people have cited in this thread one can only think that you little exposure to the world or that you are only seeing what you want to see. And what is this noise about exposure to the black culture, you're making it sound as if it IS only a "black thang," as if the only way that you can understand it is to live it.

Like I said earlier, you've proven my point.
