Which is why I'm jealous of girls when they are young
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.
Traveling is great, it gives you a lot to talk aboutthunder_god said:Week 2 day 4: I'm feeling a lot better today, I guess it must be because I am excited about planning my trip to NYC. It at least gives me some purpose. First time doing a solo trip, but I think I really need the time away from my home to get my head back on straight. I have to admit I am pretty nervous and worried about getting my head cut off or something travelling alone to NYC.
I'm also going to go to my athletic center tomorrow and sign up for ballroom dancing. It will be a good opportunity to meet new females. I'm trying to come up with places and ideas on where to meet females in a more relaxed environment, which I tend to do a lot better in. Also have my friends birthday party tomorrow, afterwards hitting up the party at the museum. I'm kind of excited but I think I will try to go into each event being outcome independent and not expecting anything other than to have fun. Well see how it goes tomorrow.
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.
Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really trying to break out of my shell and get out there without having anyone chain me down like in the past. I'm deliberately choosing to stay at a hostel so that I am forced to mingle and meet people. My approaching skills still suck ass but at least I am now putting myself out there. It'll force me to practice and talk to people especially girls, if I put myself in environments where I know there are women out there. I figure eventually I will meet someone who I'm interested in and is interested in me, and/or my skills with women will improve tremendously. I'm just taking baby steps, one day at a time.beatjunkie said:Good luck thunder! NYC is always a great place to take your mind off things. Have a good time and I'm sure you will feel better thereafter!
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 would love to go there one day, but I'm broke at the moment, but its definitely on my bucket list. I feel like fate wants me to go to NYC at the moment. The dates I picked to go and return, were the exact dates that 3 girls in my class chose to go, also a fellow DJ here who I have been corresponding with for several months lives there as well, so things just seem to be connected to NYC for me right now. Plus its not too far away home for me which makes travelling alone for the first time not too scary.JaegerPilot217 said:Hawaii is a great place too
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.
Its in paperback and ebook format. You can buy it off of amazon or read it on the guys's website understandingrelationships.com.JaegerPilot217 said:Is Corey Wayne's book an e-book? Did you read it on your tablet, phone or computer?
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.
