"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Does sex affect athletic performance?

"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.

Sweet. I wish they studied someone who believed it did effect their performance.

haha! Yeah, I heard (didn't confirm it) that Eli had his fiance sit out in the cold during the championship game instead of in the paid-for box because he was superstitious. She supposedly did it too. "Hey b****, i want your a$$ out in the cold come Sunday!" :p
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Legend has it that one of the sprinters that "Chariots of Fire" was based on always jerked off before he would race. I read in a men's magazine a while back that a male orgasm has 5 times the relaxing effect as valium so maybe it would help in a sport where being relaxed is important. But the best quote I've heard on this topic, and I forget the source, was as follows. "It's not the sex that hurts the players. It's staying out all night looking for it!" :)

worrying about crap like this releases cortisol and that affects performance.
 

"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.

Not sure what is behind it. I have always had a high sex drive and still at my age but if I stay horny my lifts are better than if I had sex or had a freaking wet dream. Of coarse this is weightlifting or powerlifting but everyone is different but there is just something motivating when I am squatting, benching or doing Deads and I find myself with a stiff hardon it seems to add strength to my lifts and this never happens if I have had sex or the wet dream.

I agree Flyer. I deleted it and replaced it with a something more proper. Sorry if it offended you or anyone else on here and thanks for pointing it out.
