"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.

"From now on I think I'm great at everything and **** anyone who disagrees?"

I feel like telling myself that will increase my confidence.
 

"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.

Sounds more like overconfidence to me. Giving less of a fvck might help you, but ignoring everything might be a disadvantage. Some people might tell you things that are true and for your own good, things you'll miss if you inconsiderately dismiss it. Some things people tell you might make you greater, things you'll not learn if you think you're better.

Confidence is somewhere in between arrogance and humility. Thinking you're great at everything and ignoring everyone else is arrogant. Thinking you svck at everything and believing everyone else is too humble, naive actually. Confidence is knowing when to be arrogant and when to be humble. Knowing what you know and what you don't know. Knowing when to teach and when to learn.

I always try to understand and consider what people tell me, but after consideration I don't always agree. I weigh their view against my own to see which one fit reality the best. I use scientific principles to determine which one is more accurate. I'm not always right and I'm not always wrong. Confidence isn't black and white.
