"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.

Since it's summer and I been going out alot, I just felt inclined to buy a pack of cigs.. It takes me back to old times when I used to smoke weed and have a cigarette after with my guys.. I never had an addiction or a habit to nicotine but I always had a strong physical desire when I would drink --mostly for the physical aspect of it rather than the effect itself.

Long story short, I had about 2-3 weeks where I had cigs and was smoking everday. But, ofc i dont have a habit or a real craving for nicotine.. so when I stopped, didn't feel too bad.. I had bought one pack but then was invited to some afterparties for an event and an industry night (special night where alot of people in the nightlife industry/club industry gather together, and some close friends) and had bough tanother pack to share with people..

All was fine after finishing the 2nd pack until I went and played basketball and just felt off. my energy was not the same. what I was experiencing was a symptom of nicotine withdrawal.. being fatigue. Usually I have so much energy, i run around like a mad man, can be at the park, do pullups on the bar, muscle ups , run around the park for a bit, play like 5 games of basketball.. But, nope, I felt off just playing my first game alone, despite warming up a bit.

Moral of the story: **** Cig.arettes. It wasnt the cigarettes itself, but the lack of nicotine and the brain craving and expecting nicotine because i twas fed nioctine the past 2-3 weeks. --
 

"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.
