"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

My friend is in med school right now, he claims that diet soda is actually not that bad for you.

As long as you're not drinking it all the time, you should be good. and it actually won't get you fat.

Though you do run the risk of diabetes, but that's only if you drink it too much.
 

"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.

If it's for weight loss purposes you could get away with drinking a diet soda here and there but otherwise I haven't heard ANYTHING health related that has stood out. Doesn't mean it's o.k.,doesn't mean it's not o.k.

I quit soda for about a whole year. I just had some today cuz it was diet, and it was the only thing in the fridge besides water.

No its definitely not as bad as regular pop.

It has no calories and no sugar.

If you are drinking it instead of the real thing for weightloss its only negative is that it has a lot of sodium in it like the regular soft drinks so it could cause ya to retain water if you drink it too much ie water weight but yeah it won't put any fat pounds on ya no matter how much you drink and no there is no diabetes risk from drinking diet pop unless aspartme or splenda suddenly became causes of that condition like too much sugar is.

Same here. I just stopped buying sodas altogether and I don't have any craving for them really. I have one every now and then, maybe one a week and that's it. Problem is, people drink soda and other high fructose corn syrup beverages as their MAIN drink rather than just as an occasional treat.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Depends what you believe about artificial sweeteners. In some people they cause an insulin response and can therefore mess with sensitivity.

I personally replaced soda with Arizona tea. I drink 1 or 2 of those 99 cent cans a day. Its a cheap and good tasting alternative IMO.

Sweetened ice teas are no better than sodas. Still loaded with HFCS. Cheap??? No way a 99 cent can is the same price as a full 2 liter bottle soda.

Arizona Tea does have a lot of sugar. Some of the Snapple teas have less sugar, but it sucks that "diet" tea has artificial sweetener. I have found Lipton unsweetened black tea, but I have not found an unsweetened green tea.

Studies have shown that the aspartame in diet soda causes tumors/ cancers in lab rats.
 

"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.

actually, they conducted a study, and showed that diet soda actually makes you fatter than normal soda. It is because of all the artificial crap they put in it that will make your body fvck up and gain more weight than if u just took in those 200 calories with normal soda.

i'm tired of all the scare-mongering about artificial sweeteners, but there is some concern now that they throw off your body's natural ability to link taste & caloric density.

better: brew your own green (or white) tea, and don't bother sweetening it.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
