"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Gene Simmons' NPR Interview: Too much alpha-maleness?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If this is the interview I'm thinking of, I heard it when it first aired. If I recall correctly, he was totally defensive and confrontational about his intelligence for no reason at all. He was all like "I read books!" and she was like "ok, I didn't say you didn't and also wtf mang."
 

"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.

"Life is too short to live with unrealistic delusions about yourself."

Tape that you your bathroom mirror and read it to yourself every morning. Gene is one of the few Men to have escaped the feminization of the last 40 years. I love KISS and I love NPR too, this is classic. Terry Gross has interviewed Gene before, she knew exactly what to expect and she still plays the slightly offended wallflower. But that's her NPR personae, just like Genes is all life's a sarge. I'm saving this MP3, it's art.

haha....Jews worship money more than anything else in the world. I have noticed it time after time again by dealing with them in the industry I work in...it is really quite sad.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
