"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.

Is anyone watching the U.S Grand Prix. Im a huge fan and this is sad. I can some what see their views on things, but I can't believe the teams would put the drivers into that position to have to park their cars.

Any thoughts from anyone else that are Formula One fans...?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

The fault lies with the FIA for having a farce of a race.

The hidden reasons behind it are the power struggles between the teams wanting to split and the FIA.

No doubt the Yanks will stick to just going around and around and around, and that's more exciting than a 6 car GP!

Of course its more exciting than a 6 car GP. And you know (just like the annoucners said) Nascar fans are going to be laughing their a$$es off....rightfully so.

I still reckon Bernie should have got his Missus to do a strip. That would have been much more entertaining.

I pretty sure that it is the killing blow to F1 in the USA.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The US doesn't understand good racing. Hence the reason we have no rallies, very little formula 1, very little GT/GP.

Maybe if we weren't such hicks who only liked to get drunk and watch cars go around in circles we'd get better races. :mad:

No doubt. It's really a shame. David Coultard was on his team radio begging his team to let him race. I doubt F1 will be back to INDY.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE Nascar. Driving in a circle is a lot harder than you think. Especially when you have to take into effect shock packages, dampers, wedge, and of course track tempatures...

Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of F1, ALMS (American LeMans Series) I find it funny that a lot of guys in the 24 heurs of LeMans had on Michelin tires...:p

Oh yeah....go ALONSO :rockon:

It's all Michelin's fault. How can they bring an unsafe tyre? They've been to Indy before and they know what they have to do!

Then the situation was made worse by the FIA refusing to installl that chicane. It wouldn't have been that hard.

They should have run the race with all 20 cars and all the Michelin teams would not have scored any points. Just for the sake of the fans who paid to get in. It was so funny listening to all those American hicks whinging to ITV lol. :p But you can't blame them, I'd be annoyed too if I were there.

At least one good thing came out of this: Jordan and Minardi scored points! And how cool was Tiago Monteiro. He was stoked. As he said in the press conference "I finished third and no one can take that away from me." Good on him. :cheer: That was the first and (probably will be) the last podium he gets so he was right to enjoy it, unlike the Ferrari drivers. As Schumacher said, one shallow victory out of 84 is nothing. lol :rolleyes:

Vincent, North America has rally, North American Rally Cup(NARC).
There are other racing venues that don't include cars going in circles, they unfortunately aren't shown much on t.v. Especially when its NASCAR season.

There's also plenty of SCCA events, and American Le Mans to name a few.

I know, but the good racing is rare and few in america.
 

"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.

Sort of off topic, but does anyone attend track days and hot lap, also known as time trials? In about 3 months or so I'm going to start setting my car up to SCCA specs so I can go attend some track days at a few places.
