"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.

Cleared it with the mods! A thread I’ve wanted to do for years. Post your real life picture let the community help fix your looks!(completely optiona)

"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.

Get the idea yeah.. Good tho it works for you.
Muscles will get cold and atrophy with no use. What I'm doing keeps blood moving, pumps, can even cut up. I will have most of the gear to get my workouts done around the residence in the future.

Your preaching to the choir, I told you guys my numbers. My routine keeps things as best intact as I'm going to get. If I want resistance I can wear my 45 lbs weight vest.
 

"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.

And online trade is out of stock or prices jacked up. Some of these options we are considering now were always decent and better than missing a work out.

Yeah, thats the problem when one market were dominant not to mention the rising and growth of the online scams.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I have a bunch of resistance bands from when I was rehabbing my rotator cuff problems. Seems to be well behind me now, but for awhile I didn't think it would ever go away. That's the funny thing about getting old. I had a pain in the arch of my foot for several years. Swollen arthritic knuckles for awhile there. Various joint pains. Then the rotator cuff issue. Another excrutiating shoulder pain that lasted about a year. So far these things have always resolved, although I may have had to lay off or modify my workout. I don't do any rows or back of neck exercises any longer. I miss doing rows too. Oh well.

I prefer working out at home anyway. I've got my weight bench, barbell, dumbells, kettle bells, and several other pieces of fitness equipment. It's definitely paying off now. Finish my workout, no travel, and seconds later I'm on the couch guzzling water, can't beat it. There are a few pieces I'd like to have but don't want to dedicate the space to.

easy on the old bud, you're only 2 years older than stringpuller and he would have been in my class.

Ernestine Shepherd is old. She looks 40 but is 80. World's oldest female bodybuilder.
I was just saying it feels young and good, no soreness so long as I keep working out. If I stop moving, then I start to notice some tightness.

My grandma was a "spark plug" in the fam all the way till 85 when she died. She's a very sharp, quick woman, who was always moving. My mom and them always were trying to "sit her down". I explained to my mom, that if they "sit her down" that she might not get back up, to let her help out and do her part as long as she's not killing herself.

awww, good on ya, excellent grandson-you did a good job.
She knew she was impressing you.
I like hearing about elderly wonderkids.

I watched the world's oldest bodybuilders yt video and the first 5 Mr. Olympia's and where they are now videos after I made that retort.

So inspiring.
If you live until 104 like one of the world's oldest than you're not even at midlife yet.

Saw your work in pics earlier in this thread and it looks like you've got it down.....just hypervigilant to men saying they're old.
It's a state of mind.


I work with a few mechanics with over 45 years experience and they refuse to slow down.
I really feel in awe and like its a privilege to work with them and learn from them. They neg each other but never themselves about age.

I don't feel old, my age is "old" but then again I think a wise well built 40's with good money is hard to beat. So when I say "old" i'm joking. Women do tax you for your age number, cause when i'm in my best shape, guys in their mid 20's, 30's are less fit most of them less fit, but the ladies hear my number and mentally tax me a bit. Makes me feel like I have to win some body building or fitness titles or something.
 

"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.
