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.

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.
Yeah, where is TND? He's been conspicuously absent. Usually, he's a postin' fool!Originally posted by BigBill:

yeah Wyldfire, its getting so bad not even Take No Dirt is rushing to your defense!![]()
How am I "getting bad"? I'm simply posting information that will help explain the behavior of women better to those who wish to understand it more. Nowhere am I telling anyone to change or that they have to patronize women. Yet it seems that a couple of you guys are hell bent on trying to twist what I am posting to make it appear that I am saying something entirely different than I actually am.Originally posted by BigBill:

so we should put up with this b/s and just say 'thats just the way it is'.wyldfire why do i feel that somehow you are trying to tell ok that this is ok and should live with it?maybe cause i am the devil?Originally posted by Wyldfire:
Wildthang...in order to avoid that behavior you should focus on women who are able to communicate with men on more of a man's level. The majority of women just can't do that. Men either learn to work around that NORMAL (for women, not for men) girly girl behavior or they find themselves a girl they can genuinely relate to and hang on to her.
You just can't expect to turn women into men that look like women...it's not realistic. No, you don't have to stay with someone that does something that drives you batty, but you also can't change women to suit your idea of what she is supposed to be anymore than women can do that to men.
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.
Already read it...chose not to respond. It wasn't "whining", I was genuinely pissed. That situation has been resolved, by the way.Originally posted by lordclem*:
mmmmmm we cool well till you read that other post
the devil i tell you ...the devil
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hey Don! I was thinking about picking this book up. Is it worth it?

Hey Gip,
It's good. There is some redundancy with this site and the book. But it is very interesting. I like it as much as his other book, "48 Laws of Power", which I highly recommend for every DJ.
Here is a link to read a little bio on the book: http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/ isbnInquiry.asp?userid=684JSJAML6&mscssid=A0F3KRJF8C9B9G0KVLS4J214QGDN16KD&isbn=0670891924
If I don't talk to you before tomorrow, have a great Thanksgiving!![]()
Take Care,
