"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.

Is it me, or are good looking guys aholes to average guys?

A Bit about me, I'm a tall confident, average looking guy, but with a good athletic body. I notice, the other day I went out with my fiance and her friends, we were around 5 guys and 5 girls. I noticed that probably all the guys were better looking than me. This doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that it seems that with the guys they have this good looking bros clique going on. So it's like, if you're not as good looking as us, then we're not gonna give you any face. I noticed this, when I tried to break the ice with a couple of guys who were buddies, but they didn't seem to want to talk to me.

I've noticed this a lot with the good looking guys throughout my life, and find it kind of odd. There was a time, when I had some good looking buddies, who I'd play cards with, but they never asked me to go clubbing with them.

Anyhow, one of the guys was trying to be a smart ass with me, but I quickly put him in his place.

So am I reading too much into this? or is it something that actually happens?
 

"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.

Canada, eh?
They perceive themselves to be somewhat cooler than them. If it's based purely on looks they might be homos.

Well usually the good looking guys do have strong personalities, so it is possible that they think they're cooler, stronger than the average guys. Anyhow I always thought this is the kind of crap which happens with girls and how they treat each other, I thought the guys might be above this type of thing, but it seems most of them are like that.

Even my fiance's cousin (good looking dude) had a thing for her, but she didn't want anything to do with him, and he looks at me like, how the hell did this guy get her?

I think you're reading too much into it.

You're taking an experience with a small group of guys and using that to make a generalization about an entire group.

I'm a good looking guy. So are my friends. And I'm pretty sure if you tried to break the ice with us, you'd have been treated like a regular, cool guy.

I'm honestly not sure. In my group of friends, I'm usually one of the best-looking ones and when I go to the club and break the ice with some of the other god-looking guys with no problem. I guess it depends on the guys.
 

"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.

It has nothing to do with the guys, it's the clique that compells them to act like a-holes to any other guy outside of their clique.

From personal experience with an aquaintance, the good looking guys acted like a-holes to him not because he looked average but rather because he has severe issues with his personality

It mainly has to do with already being inside of a group. Even people in ugly groups will be aholes to their acquaintances. Its that the other people are in their own little worlds and don't want to be bothered. Meet any of them individually in isolation and they will chat with you like you want.

Rules of DJ-ing apply both to men and women, not exclusively. Hence why DJism is more of a life style than anything. It really is a way of life and most techniques can be used on anybody :)
