"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Go read 'the psychology of self esteem' by Nathaniel Brandon.
 

"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.

"Represent Yourself in Court" by Nolo Press, as well as any of Nolo's other books that interest you.

IMO learning some law is another level of taking charge of your own life and saying "hey world you ain't gonna fvck with me or screw me over." Just like going to the gym and getting all buff. Law knowledge is a strength you can use over and over again in all areas of life. My daughter told me not too long ago "My mom said she hopes you never take her to court, she is scared of you". Her mom(my real ex wife) and I are getting along fine now, no problems. At this time I have no plans or thoughts to take her to court. But just the idea she is scared of me from a legal perspective puts me in a pretty good place should issues ever come up in the future with our daughter.

The 48 laws of power are a good point to start, it teaches you something worth and open your mind.

The art of was as well altough its less pratical.
