"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.

So I'm on the bus and this dude is like daring me to take my shirt off. And yeah, we're all having a fun time and this one girl on the bus says "I'll take it off if you take it off" and I'm all "I'm not sure I would want to see that" and she's like "What did you just say? Assh*le". She wasn't really mad after I said it. Then I actually take my shirt off and I'm like "A little gift to the ladies" and everyone's attention is on me. Main thing is, I don't know if she meant that in a good way or a bad way.

Doesn't really matter now, does it? You didn't capitalize on it, regardless of if she was mad or not.

BTW, why didn't you want to see it? And if you weren't interested in her, then why do you care if she meant it in a good or bad way?

This whole thread doesn't make much sense to me.

When you said "I'm not sure I would want to see that" she may of taken it as an insult.

Whether she is angry or not?

This one is hard to judge as its a you have to of been there kind of scenario.

Only way you're going to know the answer is to have further interactions with this chick.
 

"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.

Thing is I am sort of interested but I didn't want to come off as desperate and horny.

I think this was the right situation to come off as horny. At the least, you could have called her to her bet.

You could have said better c/f responces which wouldn't have gotten you called an ******* and would have allowed you to continue the conversation.

Why does it strike me that they're taking the mick outta you?

In any case, who gives a damn?

Haha.

Well, it seems to me that all the people are taking the p*ss, because ElStud makes out he has no friends, and all of a sudden the guys on the bus are trying to get him to take his shirt off and he's the centre of attention? Just seems like a bit prankish.

Wrong. I've actually been the center of attention on the bus for a while and THEY'RE laughing at my jokes. FYI the whole thing started when I dared one of my friends on the bus that I could take my shirt off right there and now. And also FYI I was controlling the conversation LONG after that. Also I've known these people for a while. Haha, do you think a girl I just met would of offered to take her shirt off for me even jokingly? No. Don't make assumptions.
 

"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.

I think she was playing.

Either way, in this case, you can take it as a compliment.

Ha ha. One guy once called me the "Antagonistic bad boy of magic" when he was trying to pick one of his usual stupid fights. I wouldn't go to his level, so he called me this.

So I repeat it everywhere I go. Heh. I'll even announce myself as this when I'm performing in character. And it gets a big laugh.

"Hi ladies, I'm the antagonistical bad boy of magic." Heh.

I think that the younger women are, the more blatent their flirting usually is.

A woman who's smiling and looking shocked is flirting with you when she calls you an "as$h@le."

I was teaching and a girl with a crush on me (why are they all waaaaay too young? ugh!) smacked me for making fun of her; one of the children saw it, and I had to try and explain why she smacked me and why I didn't hit back or complain...lol

DING DING DING DING DING!

Give this brother a prize because that's exactly what happened. Tonality is everything. You tried to come off as suave but it ended up being childish and abrasive.

Maybe next time.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
