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.
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.

It's a balance between GPA and SAT scores. The lower your GPA, the higher the SAT scores you need to have a fighting chance. If you have a 2.5 GPA but get over a 1500 on the SATs, they'll still look at you, even if they had a 3.0 cut off. I've seen people get into schools solely based on their personal statement and their mediocre SATs and GPA also. It's all a balance. The more competitive the school is, the harder it'll be to get in. All I can say is do the best you possibly can. Ace those classes, study for them SATs and write one hell of a personal statement. At least in the end you won't be able to say you could have done better.
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.
You should be able to get into a fair amount of schools, especially ones more in the south. Most schools have a 17 minimum ACT score, with a 2.0 GPA.Originally posted by oakraiderz2

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I hafta talk to my mom about it and ****, but hopefully i get accepted. We'll see. My mom would rather i go to a community college for some odd reason. So i hafta convince her otherwise.Originally posted by blienk
