"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.

to be honest, CA,
my friend and i both think you are too "lazy" and arrogant and too full of yourself...and you seem don't even care about anything``

that's what some girl said to me over e-mail
now back in the day, i would've loved to hear this since i was an afc, but now i don't think being egotistical is good. maybe being arrogant is not a good thing. i'm trying to become a nicer guy, but i'm confused on which path to take...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Reading this takes me back to when I was in high school. I was exactly like this; girls told me I was arrogant or ****y, David DeAngelo told us this is what we were aiming for, though realize later on that his book wasn't meant for high school. Don't become a nice guy, don't become a jerk. Instead, become a leader. I always try to model myself as if I was leading a tribe 10 000 years ago; all my decisions I imagine myself as that leader debating the best outcomes and results. Be nice to women, but be nice to yourself first.

I find you can be ****y, but you really need to up the funniness and genuinely show you're joking - and you can't get away with some of the ****ier statements. War Against Betaism's spot on, be a leader.
