"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I was mm from going to his concert recently. I said "oh well, there's always another time". Yeah right. His musical greatness and influence will still be present. He didn't look old. RIP.

"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.

Notice that a lifetime of drinking and heavy drugs did not drastically reduce the length of his life. One of his jail stints was for storming into an insurance salesman's convention with a shotgun, high on pcp and demanding to know who used his bathroom.

He wasnt' a model citizen, but he was a generous, giving Man who often went to the Ghetto and handed out cash and gifts to the poor.

I'll never forget his answer when after his arrest, he was asked if he was "high" Brown replied: "Yes, on God" :crackup:

He was a top bloke.

Lucky enough to see him as a support to the Red Hot Chillies in Manchester in 2004.

Did you guys hear about the funeral? It was in several places, and the final respects were payed in a Arena where several people performed, in front of the stage was his open coffin. I personally had never seen anything like that, and it seems like a very nice thing to do, especially in his case. That was a celebration of his life, not grief of his death.

Lift the music!
 

"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.
