Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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 thought it to be a good example, being that quantum physics is the ultimate "what if" topicOriginally posted by SynTheUnscathed
Stop discussing quantum physics with people to make a point. Half the people here have no clue what you are talking about.
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.
I never heard Dr. Drew give an explanation of the stoner voice; it’s so subtle that it’s probably hard to describe and takes a good ear. I could never figure out how they picked up on it, and I still can’t, although I’m getting better at my stoner radar. However, other voices are easy to discern. Virgins characteristically have a squeeky clean voice accompanied by anxiety and meth addicts have a white trashy voice.Silverback82:
did they say how their voices sound?
For some reason, the childish voice only applies to severe sexual abuse. Not abuse in general, not sexual abuse in general, but severe sexual abuse. Most women who were abused, sexually abused, don’t have a childish voice. The vast majority don’t. But it works the other way around. If you run across a woman with a childish voice, then she was sexually abused to the severity that (for whatever reason) she developed a childish voice.smoove:
I know for a fact tho it's not entirely accurate. I've known several girls who were abused and don't have kiddy voices.
