"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.

Anybody care to post any craigslist experiences? I've always thought of CL as the absolute bottom of the barrel but I'm bored with the normal online dating stuff.

Are the "casual" "w4m" personals all scammers or are there some real chicks? I see "mixed" and "thick" written a lot so I assume (in SoCal anyway) it's a bunch of fat latina broads. I'm surprised at the ages though which seem quite young (19-24).

Anybody actually tried CL? It seems so sketchy to me but, ****, I'll try it. The idea of immediate anonymous sex is kind of a turn-on, as long as I don't get hit over the head and robbed when I show up.
 

"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.

I've had a CL lay.

I always tell myself that it was just luck, though.

I know a guy who got into doing that... Mostly cause he couldn't get laid on his own, though. Apparently lots of them were pretty ugly, which makes sense.

Other than porn site spam, mostly you'll find cheating wives and couples wanting another guy for a threesome. A lot of the ads say "day time availability only," which means that hubby has a 9-5 job.

Most of the CL casual encounter ads are men-seeking-men. Reading over those will certainly let you know what public bathrooms to avoid :eek:
 

"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.

my younger brother has done quite a few hookups through CL but they were all very low quality.

I had a few email exchanges with one last year, after the third, I said lets send photo's to each other....she was a 300 pounder.

I tried a few times, the only legit response I was from this uggerz chick, who after I sent her my pic was all over it trying to entice me over. Needless to say I backed out as soon as I saw her pic(s).

Another one, yep, looking for threesome. I think that's about all you're going to find there. I gave up on that sh1t a while ago.

If there was absolutely no scammers I might at least try sometimes, but it's not even worth it.

Oh yeah, I also remember one time me and this girl made this hilarious "men seeking women" post where I put myself down as one of those insecure muscle guys that drives a huge truck. It oozed insecurity, and I even put up photos of muscle milk, my "truck", and a pile of cash.

I made the mistake of putting up my real phone number though, and I got some pretty bizzare phone calls at 2am for a whole week. I also got emails from women thanking me for making their day, but I didn't capitalize on that. Maybe I'll try it again just for sh*ts and giggles.

And the housewife thing... sounds promising.

Only time I ever had a reply was from a girl who was decent looking and fvckable, but not a girl I'd like to be seen in public with lol. A little heavy but she was all right in her own way.

I never wound up meeting up with the girl, we exchanged a few emails and it turned out she's seen me around before? (same city).. This kinda creeped me out haha. Turned out we had mutual FB friends too.

If they are on Craigslist you can bet your ass something is wrong with them. The internet ain't no place for a pretty girl.
 

"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.

IMO it's too risky and you'd have more of a chance of going blind from masturbating than having a truly successful CL hook up. So take the chance and masturbate.

Believe it or not, but I was incredibly bored and horny one night and posted on Craigslist (OK that's not the unbelievable part) and through it I met a young, hot Chinese girl who's into ****.

I think it was a fluke, though. The odds were probably 1 in 1000 that she saw and ad and responded to it that night.
