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.
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.
Sounds like a problem with your settings. Mess around your privacy settings.Originally posted by No Escape
When i'm logged in for more than than about 10 minutes while typing something, i get logged out. Anyone else having this problem?
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

pen, if your cookies don't work you probably wouldn't have been able to post. At least that's the case if the site requires cookies in order to log in.
Your "cookies" can be found in your browser preferences window under the "security" section. Of course, the exact location is dependent upon which browser you're using. While you're there you might want to adjust them so that you only store cookies from sites you navigate to. Then your cache isn't bogged down with banner and pop up cookies.
I use Safari (Mac), let me open IE and give you directions on how to fix it...I'll post it here in a couple of minutes.Originally posted by penkitten

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.
Diablo...if you baked cookies for 30 minutes they'd look like charcoal briquettes.Originally posted by diablo

Open up your browser preferences
Look for "Receiving Files"
Cookies are located in the "Receiving Files" sub category.
Adjust the setting to "never ask" if you don't want to have to log in each time you visit.
Close Explorer
Open Explorer again and log in here again. Once you do that you should be all set.
Argh...my explorer might be configured differently since I'm on a Mac. Can someone else explain to pen how to find the cookie preferences in IE on Windows?Originally posted by penkitten
i cant find receiving files anywhere
