"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.

This girl I'm dating now has a sh#tload of guy friends. I was never really jealous of her going out w/ other guys, but my friend told me today:

"watch out for 'Jen' . My friend told me she wanted to hang out with him tonight. So he left a voicemail for her. "


I talked to Jen tonight and asked what she was doing online, and she goes " X wanted to chiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllll"


I know Dj's shouldnt be jealous, and I dont want to feel jealous, but its a natural freaking reaction.

What do I do in a case like this ? I mean, how do I curb my jealousy. I think its b/c I havent had sex with her yet and Im worried im going to lose her before I do have sex with her.

So give me some advice on how not to be jealous guys.

Just telling me there's plenty of other chix out there, doesnt help much. I really want to play the roll as the dj, but i cant surpass this damn jealous barrier.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

If you're prone to getting jealous, as it appears you are, you're with the wrong kind of girl.

You already care way too much about this chick.

Turn your emotions off and everything will be better.

BTW, find another girl or two.

If you wanna rid yourself of or control the feeling of jealousy you've got to start understanding that this feeling all stems from the fact that you fear losing. This fear of losing goes hand in hand with your lack of self confidence and self esteem.

If indeed you fear losing her before you've had the chance to have sex with her, you are putting way too much into picking this chick up.

If you feel this whole jealousy thing is becoming a problem, you better not look at it as being a natural thing to you. If you do, you might not do anything to curb this feeling.

One last thing. A DJ would never put so much stock in one girl. A DJ would never be afraid of losing one girl and moving on to another. A DJ would get what he's looking for and not just continue walking into a brick wall.

JonJack, if u read my post, I know what a DJ is and how he should act.


But its a lot tougher when you are experiencing feelings of jealousy and there's nothing you can do about it.


What the hell can I do about it ?
 

"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.

Do you even understand why you feel jealous? Do you like that feeling? Do you want to give in to that feeling?

Don't confuse "I know what I need to do but I just can't bring myself to do it" with "there's nothing that can be done about it".

I have felt jealousy before. I know it makes a person feel like shyt. I understood what I was jealous about and why I felt that way. I did not like it. It made me seem weak and afraid. People around me noticed it, especially her. Worse part was that I behaved and felt that way so that I could get the girl back but in reality what I was doing was actually moving me in the opposite direction.

So, can you actually bring yourself to achieve what you want? Or are you going to just let yourself continue doing what you feel in the hopes that a miracle would happen and you would be happy?

Jealousy is a *****. Everytime I get jealous over a girl I think to myself, "Don't worry about it, theres no reason to be jealous." Now even though you may convince yourself not to be jealous, it probably will still be in the back of your mind. The trick is not to show your jealousy. When a girl I'm seing tells me she is hanging out with some guy, I tell her thats fine, I'll be jsut hanging out with so and so(some other girl) for the night. Usually that makes her jealous and she'll cancel her orignal plans.

better forget about your emotions or else you'll lose your power

if you have a variety of girls you wouldn't need to worry because if one messes with you then you have 7 more to choose from

hope you're not developing oneitis
-have some more variety

It has nothing to do with the girl, jealousy is about a lack of ability to handle your feelings. You may say that you trust your partner, but actions speak louder than words.

Trust in others is a measure of the trust you have in yourself. If you don't trust yourself, you'll have trouble believing in others.

Acting jealous is similar to picking up soap in the shower. The harder you squeeze it, the more slippery it becomes. When you relax your hands, you can pick up the soap. Likewise, you can "squeeze" your partner away.

Ask yourself, "What's my payoff for being jealous? Is the payoff worth the sacrifice?" Jealous people are often looking for power, and jealousy is a way to command and control another person.

Do you know what you want that you don't have? Stop resenting what others have, and get what you want. Set goals and make a plan to reach them.
