"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.

Really? Surprised you guys don’t recommend jogging

the running groups have some of the hottest women. I’ve never been much of a runner but may join running groups because some of the women in them have stellar bodies

not necessarily to try picking them up but because they’re doing something right if they have great bodies, physic

when I go to the gym I’m not as into women with big muscle builds lol I like women petite and skinny
most people who run are already not-fat. in my estimation, your weight is 95% determined by your diet.

personally i'm not going to do something i detest just to meet women. jogging is a deplorable activity.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Actually that's not true.

Many are skinny fat. It would be more accurate to say most people who run have low levels of lean muscle.

whats your basis for avoiding poly unsaturated fats? are you going off vibes?
Majorly seeds and seed oils. Mustard oil, soybean oil, or anything with palm oil (rare but yes). Majority of seeds or seed based product out there have PUFAs. I like fruits, and for oil I consume coconut oil, which is indeed a fruit (called drupe).
I read and look deeply into Ray Peat. Likewise, I have been on it for more than a month.
Are there any changes? Yes, my weight is back to 69 from 71. I sleep better, and inflammation has been reduced.

i think palm oil is OK. not sure if i would call it healthy, but its nowhere near as bad as canola or soybean oil.

i know palm oil is still high in PUFAs, but its not a processed oil, its as simple to extract as olive oil, and as far as i'm aware part of the reason seed oils are so bad for you aren't just the high PUFA content but all the oxidation that occurs from the insane amount of chemical processing they undergo. i mean there's like 8 steps to extract canola oil from the rapeseed and its heated to hundreds of degrees which causes heavy heavy oxidation.

Actually that's not true.

Many are skinny fat. It would be more accurate to say most people who run have low levels of lean muscle.
skinny fat, sure. more accurately what i mean to say is, there are 20000% less obese runners than skinny or skinny fat runners. the only point i'm making is jogging is a horrendously bad way to lose weight.

"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.

If you cut off a limb that's 20 lbs in 2 minutes. The Black Knight method works every time.
