"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.

Go Swans!!

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Was a great game.

I was watching it with my mate. And early in the third i said to him "saints will run away with this."

BOY WAS I WRONG!

I'm a Collingwood supporter, so I don't have a whole lot of interest in the grandfinal now (although i'm throwing a party for it next weekend) but i'd love to see the crows get up and win it.. purely because I rated there list as worse then Collingwoods at the beginning of the year. And I'm sure we all know Aussies love the underdog stories.

"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.

It will be totally different at the MCG. Sydney have the advantage of playing there against St Kilda ;)

haha yes, but everyone's rationalizing of the games so far has gone wrong.

"Sydney have know hope against St's coming off 2 hard close games and St's having a weeks break" WRONG

"There is no way the St's will beat Adelaide in Adelaide" WRONG

"There is no way Port will be the Kangas away from Home" WRONG


So time can only tell lol.

"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.

Yeah... I do the same thing too. It's great, cos we all get drunk, act like monkeys and use curse words. Ooh..

I watched the Port v Adel quarter final at the casino and no one really went full out agro. There were security guards posted at every entry way.


Yay! 100th post!!

Sing, sing...

Cheer, cheer the red and the white,
Honour the name by day and by night,
Lift that noble banner high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small,
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory.

i've never watched an AFL game before, if i'm not doing anything i may watch the final :p
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I accidently ended up with a bet $5 on nick fosdike for the norm smith medal (best on ground). I would have collected $755 if he had have won. He got runners up, the winner came from the losing side (chris judd).

that would have been massive.

I had an awesome day. Well done swannies.
