"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.

If a woman offers to help you paint your house does that mean that she likes you?

*** snicker *** :p

Sorry guys. I just had an uncontrollable urge to create a noob-like thread. :D

BTW, yes; a woman did offer this to me. Yes; I accepted and she tells me that I "owe her big." ;)

I think I'll show her my "O" face...
:eek: "OHhhhh..."
:eek: "OHhhh..."
:eek: "OHhhh..."

:whistle:

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Yeah, I had a couple offer to paint my house when it was under construction. It means she can see herself in that house I think. I passed - I needed a pro paintjob, not a paintjob with benefits.

Actually I was slow the first time, the second time I told her "no, but we can sand the deck" - yeah.
 

"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.

Maybe work on her plumbing too.... ;)

Actually, before she offered she tossed out a reason for me to come by her place to "fix something." Eh, I think it's amusing when grown women play these coy games. I'm not complaining, it's just playful, light hearted and kinda cute.

This means that she is open to having sex with you.

What you do is you paint one room with her.

Then you tell her you want pay her back for helping you.

Give her a back massage

and then make your move


Women find painting to be very romantic.

I am speaking from exprience.

I would tell girls about my new condo and that I still had painting to do. It was a given that they would offer to help.

so I would say.. ok you can help me pick out the paint

I would call her up a few days later, take her to the store, bring her home, paint, and ****.

I baged three girls this way, on the carpet, doggy style (with some paint on her face)

Epilogue: The woman came over and attempted to help me. Ended up on a tarp by the fireplace. Had to hire professional painters to finish the job. Still haven't decided if it was worth the cost.

New Chapter: Woman who I haven't seen in about three months called me out of the blue. She's coming over tonight to help me pack and move tomorrow. This time I'm going to get most of the work done before she gets there.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Women love to feather nests. When you own a place, they aren't afraid to tell you how to redo it..help out.. etc. Be careful, tho. The dark side of this is they feel they have hooks in you.. you owe them "something". It's the female equivalent to a guy buying flowers, taking her to fancy restaurants, etc.

Too late, this one has already asked (jokingly I hope) if I'd want a room mate. :eek: I'm all for "mating" but I still think that can happen without her moving in. :p Oh yeah, she's stopping by the hairdresser before stopping over to help me pack. :rolleyes: I swear it's a ball watching women operate.

It's a joy when you see through their games, and don't get drawn in..

I've had this happen to me a couple of times. Funny thing is you could only see the fresh paint job with a black light, and then it was a little spotty. Somehow the brawd got more on my sheets then in her mout...I mean wall.

Hey. A lame question, but I wanted it coming from a USA native not friends who "went there".

Is it for real that people around there paint their own houses? I mean, why don't you just pay for someone to paint it for you?

Maybe cuz not everyones rich. I am a painter, and I charge 40$ an hour, and Im not even a bonafide company. Anyone licensed and insured, will charge you the equivillent of 60$ an hour or more.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
