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.
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.
It feels more real than porn. For example, an OnlyFans escort (ie that means the woman is working as an escort and has as OnlyFans page) wanted to see my dic pic and said she would be happy to see it if I felt comfortable doing that. The fact they are also working as escorts means I could set up an arrangement with any one of them and already know their body, voice, or aspects or the whole process is short-circuited. They also have some limited interaction with me and I know they are not the racist sort of escort, etc.... so I feel way more comfortable dealing with them before actually booking the appointment (if I ever do). Some of these escorts are expensive (ie $ 500/hour - but their OnlyFans is $10/month)I really have to ask: what is the allure of OnlyFans?
Why would anyone pay for pron when it's so readily available for free?
Yes, all OF girls were located on online escort pages. I have not deal with OF girls that I have not found on escort pages, when I was on OF.I assume you know they're escorts with OF pages because you're finding them on escort sites where they list their OF page. Am I right? If so, do you deal with OF girls that you haven't found on escort pages?
I have not been on OF for the past week, and counting. I can't try something I've quit.Are you sure you're not just trying to build an emotional connection with these hookers/OF models to feel less sinful for eventually paying for their services?
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.
Wait!I don't interact with the public outside of the internet. I'm either at home, inside my car, or walking in a park. My father goes into stores (he got vaxxed). All interaction is mediated through the internet. That includes work, or any activity that's there. I even have a VR headset. There is a 6th wave in Ontario and I didn't get vaxxed/waiting for Novax, etc... I'm trying to remember the last in-person interaction in public that was not a distant hand gesture....probably a cashier about a month or two ago from one store. Lets face it, anyone could have covid right?
I am unvaccinated and live with two elderly (77 & 83) parents, one of whom is also unvaccinated and solely responsible for paying the mortgage and has no insurance. I am still 46 years old and obese (started an interval diet and lost some weight). Therefore we can not afford risk catching covid. I am phobic towards pfizer and moderna but would be willing to give Novovax or Modicare a shot.Wait!
Are you saying you still avoid contact with people because of Covid??
Do you have a reason for this?... Some condition that makes it particularly dangerous for you..??
Because if you don't - If you're otherwise healthy, and not all that old, then the Covid-lurgy won't do you much harm now that we're into the later variants.
The BA.2 omicron variant that's doing the rounds now isn't serious unless you have some co-morbidity or other.
I actually have Covid right now.
I was giving a presentation at an event on Tuesday night, where I'm pretty sure I picked it up - Developed a bit of a chesty cough, and a croaky voice on Thursday, tested positive on Friday.
Friday had a mildly blocked nose, I felt generally washed-out (tired), a very vague headache and my sense of taste was poor.
Friday night I had chills (shivering) for about 5 mins when I went to bed... though no high temp.
Yesterday (Saturday) I've started to improve.... and today I'm better still. A bit of a cough is hanging on, but otherwise almost back to normal.
Honestly, I've had worse colds.
I'm 58, with no underlying health problems.
So... seriously... If you're my age or younger, with no underlying health problems... Catching the BA.2 version of the lurgy is no big deal.... and would give a very good natural immunity going forward, towards any future variants that might come around.
Ah, I see.I am unvaccinated and live with two elderly (77 & 83) parents, one of whom is also unvaccinated and solely responsible for paying the mortgage and has no insurance. I am still 46 years old and obese (started an interval diet and lost some weight). Therefore we can not afford risk catching covid. I am phobic towards pfizer and moderna but would be willing to give Novovax or Modicare a shot.
I dont think so. But effectiveness does not just mean you wont symptomatically catch the virus, but also that severe outcomes like long-covid, needing intubation, death, etc... are avoided. However even if I did get vaccinated but I have an elder parent who refuses to be vaxxed, even if I get a mild outcome she might not so its still a problem unless everyone gets vaxxed.Ah, I see.
That explains why you're so wary of catching it.
Your weight.... and living with people over 75.... Yes,it's understandable that you're so careful.
I'm unvacced, but it's taken me until now to catch it.
Those two vaccines (Novovac and Modicare)... Are they developed for the newer variants?
I know that Pfizer, Moderna, (and the Astrazeneca that was given in Europe) were all developed for the original strains, and do almost nothing against the current omicron variations.
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.
