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'd have to go with this too. It shows that you're flexible, but also secure with yourself.jophil28 said:My answer, " Don't care either way."
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.
Nice retort.Warrior74 said:"i could care less what she makes, the real point is how fat is she?" that usually pisses them off enough to change the subject.
I've been asked this question like 10 timesDJArlington said:hey guys when a girl asks you 'would you mind if your wife makes more money than you?' - what is your response to this question? Personally, I'm not really comfortable with it because then she can have more control over the marriage. Also - I'm in a situation where I'm in all likelihood going to make more money than most women so I don't have to worry about it.
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.
" gotten pissed off " = manufactured indignation.Trader said:'Yes - I do mind. I like being the provider - and I will end up making more money than her - end of story.'
And yes - some of the girls have gotten pissed off - so be it
