My advice to you Ten is to go out and travel. I mean your in Michigan. Use some of your finances and travel the world, see whats out there.
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.
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.
It's like a broken record. Ten wants to make generalizations about the world and women from his tiny viewpoint in Michigan . Get the hell out of town Ten! You're holding yourself back dude. Go on a walkabout for a year. I guarantee it will open your mind.My advice to you Ten is to go out and travel. I mean your in Michigan. Use some of your finances and travel the world, see whats out there.
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.
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.
Dude, stop dating. Get into some kind of anger management. ANY KIND. Getting over those kinds of problems takes a long goddamned time. NO counselor will "tell you what's wrong" like you have something wrong with your car that needs a quick tweak.I've been battling these internal thoughts for 6 years now. I'm getting close to going over the edge. I have sought fvcking help, NO counselor knows what the fvck is wrong with me and why I can't control my anger, thoughts, etc.

and how is that helpful?sounds to me like you're a weak punk.
Not everything is that simple. You can say that the only limits are the ones you place on yourself but at the end of the day not everyone has the same options or opportunities, regardless if the lack of these is due to past decisions or environmental. It's just not realistic. Talk is cheap.There is only one common word in each paragraph above. Hint: it is a one-letter word.
In our previous example of a city not providing water, Tenacity would find an alternate city. And if the alternate city was not available, Tenacity, again, would find a different city to meet his needs. There is only one common element, YOU.
Until you really grasp this fundamental understanding, you are entrapped in a labyrinthe of helplessness. Why helplessness? Because if outside forces are responsible for your goal to actualize, YOU are longer in control of YOU. That makes you a victim.
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.
