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.
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.
Try getting the PPK from "The World is Not Enough" or "Die Another Day". That's as silent as you can get.goundra said:In the US, EACH rd is legally a "silencer" requiring a $200 tax, for each one. originally,the US army developed these, for use in a 2" barreled M29 .44 mag revolver, for use in the V C tunnels in nam. Now the russians make such a load, in a compact auto pistol, using the same bullet that is loaded into the .30 AK rifle cartridge, but in a much shorter cartridge case, in a gun that looks a lot like a Makarov, at a mere 570 fps, for about 90 ft lbs of "power", which is a bit more than a .22 lr gets out of a 4" barreled pistol. Silenced .22's were used by the OSS in WWII, you know.. they were huge things, not all that quiet, either. 12" or so long, 44 ozs, or something like that.
My thing are Franchi's from Isla Sorna. I'm also into "Public Enemies" armament. Note to Mod's I only keep them in the movies I own.goundra said:I make the state of the art "cans" and if you "think" that any autopistol that cycles normally, with normal ammo, is as quiet as it can be, you are VERY ignorant about cans. there is quite a bit of noise that comes out of the ejection port, when the autoloader kicks out the fired casing.
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.
