She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Yes gaining muscle would help. The point is work with what you have. Even if you fail you will gain knowledge that will be beneficial to you. Keep working on bulking up while going out on as many dates as you can. Stop thinking and just do it.
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.
I feel you on that bro. For example I recently approached a girl at my college job(not a serious job ppl hook up there) I introduced myself,handshake,smile. Chatted her up maybe 3 times a couple minutes each over a few day period, then asked for her number and she gave me it but then it went nowhere after that. Some ppl told me I waited too long to ask for her number, idk if I didn't flirt enough or wasn't funny enough or she just wasn't attracted to my skinny as fuark body and thought she'd break me in the sheets lol.
