"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.

Got fired, for making an apparent honest mistake, do I have a case?

I don't think your financial career is necessarily ruined. But 2 things you cannot trust anyone with is money and women. Even your best friend will backstab you over money and women.
 

"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.

You have horrible friends if they're backstabbing you over 10s of dollars, and there must've been warning signs way before this.

Ya there were. I hear it from my dad and my ex every chance they get. He was a loser that had to go to rehab for a drug overdose 2 years ago. Not to mention he's a pothead now, doesn't do hard drugs anymore but smokes weed every chance he gets, and when I was working for a telecom company making almost 50k in college, I referred him to my district manager for an open position, he actually got hired. I told him to not get high for the next month during the interview process because he will get drug tested. He got high a day before his drug test and lost the job offer. I tried referring someone else to my DM after that, he said "they have to apply online"

Trust me, I learned my lesson big time. I have a small social circle now.

If you can't trust you best friends and girlfriend with any amount of money then you should really question if they are your friends or not.

I once let a buddy barrow $1k after knowing him for about 12 hours,it was a friend of a friend,while we were on vacation. Payed me back promptly. Just put yourself around good level (employed) headed people and you have nothing to worry about.

True, key word is 'employed' lol
 

"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.

True but horrible friends are a dime a dozen and good ones are rarer. That was my point that most people can't be trusted with money and women.
