"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Howard Stern just got engaged

"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.
What make you think Howard Stern was a DJ?d9930380 said:I can't believe it, even the best of us will get stupid when a hot piece of ass is concerned.
The guy was a NATURAL AFC. And continues to be one.

He is already divorced. And he has LOT of $$$$ (MILLIONS).Skel said:Why was he stupid for getting engaged? He has been with her for a long time.
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

Keep it simple man.
What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?bigjohnson said:I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with getting married. For me it's about who wears the pants, not how many "plates" I have spinning. As long as I get what I need that's what is important. Simple.
Keep it simple man.
If she divorces him...he loses MUCH more than win.

You bring up a good point. I don't see why people rush to get married anyways --- you can just have a LTR and if it happens to last a lifetime, great!Latinoman said:What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?

Marriage is just a big religious vestige.
That's what people thought of Heather Mills. The NOW very rich ex-wife of Paul McCartney.Mind_Body_Soul said:Beth O - his g/f seems to be pretty subservient, so my guess is that he's in control in the relationship.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Just because a man has money does not mean he should be scared of marriage. There are women out there that aren't digging for gold. Im not saying his fiance is or isnt one of these women, but you all act as if only poor men should get married.

That's the hard part about having a talk show I guess. You say things passionately at one time that you can never take back.
dont be surprised if he was the one who wanted the marriage more than she did.
and yes, personally i think stern is a moron. sure his stuff is funny at times, but what a waste of a life hes had. hes had about as much positive impact on the world as that anna nicole smith.
"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.
