"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

dang buddy, don't you think you are being harsh on yourself? Instant gratification and quick results are one thing your body cant produce when it comes to exercising. don't hate yourself for being something many americans strive to be- skinny.

Eggs are really expensive just a year or two ago you could get a dozen for under a dollar.

thats so true!!, i still love them. Lately i have been waking up in the morning and making myself scrambled eggs before i eat/cook anything else. The smell of eggs scrambled in the morning wakes me up.

Hey man, I was in the same boat as you a few years ago. Graduated high school at 120 lbs, went to college and found the weight room. The best thing about starting skinny, is that you're NOT going to get fat from working out, and the muscle you put on looks huge. I'm 5'8 165 now and I think I have the (not to sound ****y, but...)perfect guy body. You'll get there through hard work and lots of food. Go to IronAddicts.com and check out there routines. Also look through some on here. Hard work will get u where u want to go.
 

"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.

Every chick I know rather have a fat guy than a skinny guy.
I saw a really hot Italian girl with a skinny guy today, I think European girls prefer skinny guys than American women do.

I used to be skinny and have bulked up a fair bit in the past 2 years, seems to get less attention off girls but have way more confidence, odd.

I can't be too harsh on myself. But I do have confidence problems mainly because of my body image.

Go to a nude beach a few times, that will sort your body exposure phobia out.
Come on, lots of successful leaders have been skinny, and Arnold is fat not. Just enjoy the progress of becoming better, if you dont enjoy it then the end result wont please you either.

What is your height and weight? Unless you're truly skinny, why worry about it?
 

"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.
