"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 Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah, and it seems like they may actually be sticking a little closer to his "original" ORIGIN than I had initially thought.:cheer:

Yo COLONEL KARMA and PARADOX,


Just wondering, have either of you checked out the Iron Man animated movie where he fights against The Mandarin? I heard it was cool, but I haven't checked it out yet.

I have watched both The Ultimate Avengers animated movies, and I thought they were both pretty decent------the FIRST one more so than the second one, though. Although, of course, they can't do ANY justice to actual Comic Book Graphic Novels.

Anyway, a friend of mine has that Iron Man Animated Movie, and I was thinking about checking it out sometime this weekend...
 

"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.

When I saw the trailer the other day the first thing that came to my mind is that Downey's character has c/f down to a science. Watch the trailer again.

Plus it rocks that they were able to get the OK to use the song by Sabbath! :rockon:

I'll probably go see it, but couldn't help but think of Robocop when I saw this.

I grew up reading Iron Man. The animated movie had a good story that kept me satisfied for it's duration. I'm excited they're throwing in the Audioslave and yes, Robert Downey Jr. has the c/f going for him in this one, from what I see.

  1. Watch it. Learn how to do c/f the right way.
  2. Stay through the credits, it'll be worth it.
 

"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.

What about this:

The-fvcking-Incredible-fvcking-Hulk

Ed Norton, the best actor of our generation, as Bruce Banner!

Mr. Orange as Abomination!

William Hurt as Thunderbolt Ross!

What the fvck!

For Marvel geeks like me, this is a great time!
 

"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.

Yes, i saw the trailer a while ago and yes, I agree that it looks amazing, but I'm just saying that I hope they don't pull a repeat episode of the first one.

The last Hulk was good, I don't know why everyone hated it so much. I actually liked it more the second time I watched it. It's too soon to re-make the film. I'll probably skip it and see Batman. I never though a nerd like me would say this, but there are TOO MANY sci-fi/fantasy, comic book movies coming out these days. Too much of a good thing.

But that's my opinion. I'm going to see Iron Man today. :D
