"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.

I'm listening to The Rational Male and I'm getting annoyed...

After all the buzz around it I got the audible version, I'm on section 10 out 27...so far it's just full of fluff, WTF?! I feel like I'm wasting my time at this point. Way too much 'theory' and the whats and whys but literally no hows. It's like that guy at work who points out what all is broken but rarely has anything to offer to fix those things when asked directly. In fact, he even reads one of his reader's comment where the guy asks 'how can I unlearn how I get emotionally attached to every woman I'm with' since that was the topic of this particular chapter and his answer was basically 'I wish I knew the answer' LOL seriously? I think I've learned far more practical stuff from this board and from AMS and Corey Wayne than this guy. At least this is what my conclusion is so far, all theory...no practical advice and holy sh!t so repetitive I want to pull the earbuds out at times.

"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.

Yeah the repetitiveness, in different words, is killing me...after 2+hrs of listening to it all that could've been condensed into 15mins tops and I'm only about half way through the material. Losing interest fast.

Perhaps there's another book that caters to those of us who already know/understand the basics but want more practical advice on stuff we encounter on a day to day basis?

To be fair, I find all pickup material to be maddeningly repetitious, and they usually take 11 pages to say what they could have said in one sentence or paragraph.

Rollo sells his material. So there's a bias inherent in that. He used to post around here some and I thought his feedback in some of threads was much more practical advice than the theory. I agree with @zekko that the PUA material is much more material than necessary to make the point. And yes, I do see the irony in me making that statement, lol.

I think Jordan Peterson is FAR more informative. There is also a red pill blogger by the last name of Ironwood. I quite like his material. It's real world and pragmatic.
