"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
It may not be the look but purely because having braces makes you lose confidence due to the fact they make your face look like T1.
All I can say is after I take them off, WATCHOUT!
It looks like I'll be getting braces too. Will be wearing em for 18 months and then retainers at night for 5 years after that (how gay). Anyway, I'm curious, would it mess up the whole process if I decide to take off my braces on certain days because I'm out to meet women?

braces are literally glued onto your teeth, you wear them like forever until the doc decide it's time to take it off

I've never had them and I never will, but I've heard things.
So many negatives:
- Expensive. I don't know what the cost is but even if it's -$1,000 (i.e. being given $1,000) it's still too much because:
- Painful
- You look terrible.
- Another unnecessary doctor in your life. I think the doctor for that is called an orthodontist, different from a dentist.
- Everything gets stuck in your teeth.
- Retainers are evil.
I don't care how crooked my teeth are, or how messed up they are. I'm not doing that. Luckily for me, my teeth are pretty good to begin with. But even if they become very crooked later when I'm older I'll just let it be,
My Dad's teeth are very crooked, but he doesn't let that bother him at all.
Hm...I hope it never happens but if I lose a tooth perhaps I should get a silver or possibly platinum (do they have those?) tooth. That can look good with the right person.

"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.

btw, braces don't hurt... that much once you get used to it
In America, land of the "Free", great teeth are a must. You see more people with great teeth than people with messed up one's. When u see a person with bad teeth, u think "wow, he should do something about it". Trust me, ive had bad teeth for 18 months, and even though i was doing pretty good, there was always this fear of people looking down on me becuase of my teeth.
When everyone is laughing and smiling for a picture, u are gonna be the one standing there with your mouth shut, looking like a dumbass.... trust me. braces are great. Even tho the pain is a b1Tch at first, once u get over it its awesome.
they make some new braces that you can take off and all. only wear at night etc. They make some that u cant really see, my cousin had them almost couldnt tell. i had braces when i was like 14 or so and hated them . im now 21 and my teeth are amazing as hell. I dont mind smiling at all, cause there perfectly striaght and gleaming white.

I am? How so? Because I personally don't think teeth braces are necessary?
Perhaps. Frankly, I don't think about the appearance of others' teeth. Like I said earlier, my father has crooked teeth, but it hasn't bothered him any. And I don't think he should do anything about his teeth. My teeth aren't bad and while I do have a very small and slight overbite, it's hard to notice unless you look hard (which most people don't).
I don't think about others teeth or the appearance. What's the point when it's hard to even notice in the first place? Shoes are easier to notice, and I don't even see those most of the time.
Get over it. Don't let something like that bother you. How about those people who have a big mole on their face? What can they do about it? "Bad" teeth aren't as bad.
Looking bad? Doubtful. Perhaps you're different, but I look better if my teeth do not show. If I show my teeth I look like a freak.
And from what I've heard about the pain, nothing is worth that. Pain like that should be avoided and reserved for disasterous accidents.

It is aconfidence issue, but do u not agree that americans make smile quite a huge character in one's persona?
The pain lasts for a week tops, after u get braces fixed up, yes its a helluva thing, but reards are much better.

$7,000?? OMG! Two brace jobs ($14,000) and that's enough money for a somewhat decent car.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Bettering myself and travelling on the road to becoming a DJ is the whole reason I got braces. Please don't tell me that by getting braces I screwed myself over.

there F***ing awsome. its like a thin cap that goes over the entire tooth to make them straighter and it filled in all my gaps. they last for about 15 years and they never stain. i got the whole front of my grill done, 5 veneers. i can still eat anything and my grill looks macked out! best $4000 ive ever spent.L777

Where did you see the Brits your'e talking about? Austin Powers?
Its just like me saying all americans are fat...a sweeping generalisation.
Oh and spare me the ghetto-babble please. its pathetic
"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.
