"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.

"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.

you're cooking them a little too long and the iron & sulfur in them is oxidizing. two easy solutions: don't cook them as long; or, place them in a cold water bath when the time is up. incidentally, the latter solution often makes them a bit easy to peel if you're going to peel them right away, but makes them slimier if you plan to open them later.

I tried hardboiled eggs yesterday, for the second time in my life. The first time I forgot to cool the eggs before eating, so the shells were very annoying and sticky.

Yesterday, I cooled them properly but encountered a different problem :)

Normally I can eat 9-12+ eggs in one sitting without feeling full and its no problem, but with hardboiled eggs I got to around 6 or 7 and that was about as many as I could eat at one time. Also, I had very bad gas for the rest of the day that smelled like egg :p

I've given hardboiled eggs a chance, but they really just don't do it for me.. I'll stick to my scrambled eggs or raw eggs when in a hurry :up:
