can you drop a foot-square white pine board and break it ("with the grain") with a punch? Can you drop a coin, draw a pistol from concealment and fire before the coin hits the ground? A lot of women like having a "man's man", and men dig this sort of stuff, a lot. Yet it's pretty simple to build this sort of speed, actually. It just takes determination and a few months of spare time, a few minutes per day.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
how fast are your hands?

"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.

i feel like my piano playing/practice I probably do have faster hands than the avg person does. once you start getting into advanced licks /chord progeessions, espeically wtih jazz.
also feel I am more creative than the avg person, something I think that this has alot to do with as well. i have been playing the piano for 2 deacdes and to this day can't read sheet music. i play the violin and can read trebble clef for the violin like i am reading this post, but never bothered to learn for the piano. but if i don't have perfect pitch it's pretty damn close, if i hear something a few times i can generally play what i hear to the key, but what i usually do is is just to use a song as a baseline to **** around with various chords. very erroll garner eque, i rarely play the same thing if ever twice.
lol one of my wife's biggest pet peeves of mine is whenever i hear a song i have never heard before, or hell just a song in gneeral i break out my imaginary piano and start playing it without even thinking about it, it's out of habit now. she thought i was full of ****, about 6 months after i met her she bet me basically a really good home cooked meal of whatever i wanted i coudldn't play the next song that came on the radio, and it was a jazzed up version of John Brown's Body which I nailed in about 10 mintues after hearing it a few times. I mean, not to the extent that oscar peterson nailed it make no mistake, you will never mistake me for oscar peterson, there are things he can do on the piano i just physically can't do yet ("with his hands) is i but i nailed it nevertheless. talk about floored lol.
one of my goals one day is to put out a CD of me playing christmas jazz music. i don't give a **** if i sale one copy lol. i have talent, just so i can say i did it.

Lovin your attitude, I feel like the essence of a man can be found in his legacy. Whether it's physical (a book, CD, some kinda product) or something of intellectual value like a unique philosophy, discovery or skill that he can pass on to others in and beyond his life's boundaries.backbreaker said:one of my goals one day is to put out a CD of me playing christmas jazz music. i don't give a **** if i sale one copy lol. i have talent, just so i can say i did it.
Btw, stop comparing yourself with Oscar Peterson. :crackup:
There's a couple of people with maybe 10 percent of his talent making a decent living off of their talent. There's ALWAYS room for original, hard-working people.

Seriously do that backbreaker. I had been meaning to put together a CD since 7th grade or so and I kept putting it off. When I finally actually finished it in 2008 (like almost 10 years later), it was totally worth it. By then I had a band I we sold 50 copies (woohoo).backbreaker said:one of my goals one day is to put out a CD of me playing christmas jazz music. i don't give a **** if i sale one copy lol. i have talent, just so i can say i did it.
But it wasn't those 50 copies that made it great... it was the fact that I had a CD that I was 100% responsible for. It was a tangible expression of my work.
Seriously, do it.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

lol i wasn't trying to, just that the particular song was played by Oscar Peterson, and when I said i nailed dit i didn't want to make it sound like i nailed the song in the sense that he nailed it, and could lay the song verbatim as he could, because i can't.HoneyHitter said:Lovin your attitude, I feel like the essence of a man can be found in his legacy.

I wrote Paladin Press's best selling book, a little how-to pamphlet entitled. HOW TO MAKE A SILENCER FOR A .22. It has made them millons of $, sold over 1/2 million copies since 1994, but unfortunately, I took an immediate, small "lump sum" because I was desperately in need of cash. I'd now be making 20k a year off of that book, had I kept the rights to it. Sheesh, makes me puke to think of it.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
