"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.

Dude. Get this, they give you credit without interest what so ever. This is practiced throughout Europe (not even mentioning middle east), especially in Britain. Banks like Citibank and Barclays even have special customer windows for "islamic banking". In analogy it is like kosher in food. Check this wikipedia article out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_banking_and_finance


Fvck yeah I want a mortgage without usury!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

They call 'interest' something else and do the same things banks in the non-Muslim world do.

Not that you would know that. You're too busy reading comic books about religion.

Well in Iran... they have no such thing as credit..... its cash value only, no mortgage

They do offer interest rate however on investment.

Islamic banking is the same has Christian banking of old.

The idea comes from the Koran. Mohammed directed his followers to not charge each other interest.

What they do is just load up the loans with fees, which are not technically interest.
 

"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.

Islamic banking means they're buying a house, which you can immediately use, and then later they sell you that house at a price which is higher than usual. So it's the exact same thing, just different name.

The nice twist about the whole thing is that it can (supposedly) only be done with existing goods, and not certificates and stuff without value to back it up.

But hey, look at the arab countries, money will always find a way.
