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.
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.

How do u get a prettier face?
Working out can only tone your body, and you can only look so good (7/10). U need the pretty face to get into the 8,9,10 range.
So how do u do it?
Thanks, guys! U guys rock!

Thanks guys
Also, when you say "If you can afford it, buy something not coming from a drug store." what do u mean by that? Where else would I be able to find such products?
About any large store where girls shop. They usually have a "For Men's" section where you can find most product you need. Look at the ads in FHM, Maxim and other such mags for ideas on what brands to look for. I recommend the Decleor line of products if you can find it.
Also do you guys have ne examples of good-looking haircuts? (e.g. pictures).
also what are your opinions towards things like making your eyelashes longer, or using concealer...personally I think that's a little too fairyish, but maybe I'm wrong? what do u guys think?
It's just plain gay. Anything that looks, feels or acts like makeup is for queens and girls.
Thanks again, guys.
No problem

Absolutely no makeup. You think people won't notice, but damnit they will. Everybody notices everything, and if you ever get caught with makeup on, it's over. Personally, if I ever saw a guy at school and suspected makeup, I would tackle him right there, and start rubbing on it. If it's makeup, I'd beat it off him. If not, I'd just call it an aggressive hug.
I keep reading a reference to makeup. Is it honestly a new trend for men to wear makeup, or are you guys just being facetious?Originally posted by Soshyopathe

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.

Uh... that book you suggested... that woman in the book isn't so good looking herself...
And I think it's for old people only as they get wrinkles.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
No. The cosmetics industry is trying to turn men into stressed-out, overly self-concious basket cases like they've done with women. I remember a few years back they were trying to say that nail colours and eyeliner would be the next big fashion statement for men. Fortunately this will NEVER HAPPEN, I pray. Taking care of your appearance is one thing but I don't want to end up like those girls who read Seventeen magazine.Originally posted by Capitol39
