Damn Potbelly!! Those are some amazing scores. Where are you going to college again??
"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.
For you HS Seniors: What college are you going to?

"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.

Why Northwestern?? With those scores (although I don't know your GPA) you could've probably gotten into a few ivy league schools. I think a few of my friends are headed to Northwestern next year.
I did not have many extracurriculars. and I got a like 4 Bs during high school. Ivies won't take me. I also got into Brown (ivy), Dartmouth (ivy), Wash U, U of C and waitlisted at Duke, but I chose Northwestern because it has a top notch econ program (they won the fed challenge last year). plus it has an actual campus and it's near chicago a big cityt.
"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.
Why the hell would you want to go to an Ivy school? Sure you can say you've been to some prestigious college, but it also emptied out your parents bank account.
To make it in life, I say it's better to have experience with people and living in the "real world" then becoming more intelligent.

There is a lot of politics that lie behind the US News rankings. I suggest going to a school YOU feel fits you best, rather than blindly choosing schools based on rankings. For example, Brown is a subpar ivy. Also, Columbia is an ivy, but if you got into MIT or another school like an excellent engineering program at a non-Ivy, you would choose the non-ivy or MIT if you were interested in science. it always depends, as with most things in life
I go to parachoial school (Catholic school), and my guidance counselor keeps telling us that going there simply makes colleges want me more. I don't know how true that is. But there's some dumbass at my school that had remedial classes, and switched to a local public school and got all regs with 2 honors classes. Explain that one to me. Is that true?
My GPA is a 3.73 (which I believe I can get up to a 4.0 by the end of my junior year). I took the PSATs beginning of my Sophomore year with a 1240-1850 range (Median is 1545). My goal would be to get a 2000, my goal is also to get into University of Florida, being 75% Hispanic would give me an advantage as well. On top of that, I will be Tech Club president. How do I look? Can I get into a good college?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

Let me know if anyone here is going to The University of Michigan. Like 100-200 of my friends are going since we're in state, but it would still be cool to hear from someone else going.
It's weighted. 1.0 for honors, 2.0 for AP. I am taking 4 Honors next year. My unweighted GPA core classes is a 3.55. I can get it up to a 3.7 unweighted GPA by the end of Junior year.Potbelly said:
Too weak? I take hard classes, go to a Catholic school (which really has a harder curriculum than public school), and will be tech club president with also possibility of making the golf team? I think I'd regret this for the rest of my life if I didn't get into UF.Flabbergasped?

Why MSU? It's nowhere near the level of an Ivy League School, unless MSU doesn't stand for Michigan State.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I'm starting to think college isn't for me, but we'll see what happens.
I know for sure I'm not going into college straight out of highschool, but I'd change that if West Point accepted me.
My immediate plan after highschool is (4-10 years): to join one branch of the US Military (most likely Navy or Army), then if possible move to Israel to fight in the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). After such I'll be quite proud of myself and ready to do anything.
I think it would be a nice change of pace to get away from American women, and experience a bit of my Jewish ancestery. I'm definately excited for what the future may hold.

"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.
