"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.

Around the dinner table last night, saying it's "up to me"
to drop the exclusivity line to my new girlfriend.

ME: uh no. it's up to her to do that.

Sister1: you gotta tell her some time soon.

Me: not gonna do it. She has to bring it up.

Sister2: you have to be the one to bring it up...otherwise a woman keeps thinking about it.

ME: exactly! gotta keep that hamster spinning.

Sister2: ???

Sister1: you're wrong about this

ME: I know 100 guys that disagree (referencing but not naming this forum ha ha)

ME: ok, no more about this...I can't talk about fight club anymore...

Sister1 & 2: ?????

Brother In-Law: HA HA HA HA
 

"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.

I can't understand, why it's up to her?!? You are not confident enough or what? Did she make the first move to kiss you or something?

Correct me if I have understand something wrong here!

If you read the threads here about it, the consensus is, that its best to let the girl do it. Many a guy lost the girl shortly after declaring what they were. Seems to happen a lot less when the girl does it.

men: go for the sex

women: go for the relationship

Yeah. I think we'll just ignore you for a while....

Pdx, your conversation with your sisters sounds like any time I've discussed dating issues with women. They just don't get it.
 

"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.

Yeah, if she wanted it and you said it first she lost her touch with her inner self! It's different when she doesn't really wants to and when she does! Since you want it you have to learn if she wants it too! Anyway, I'm out!

I think the man should decide whether or not he is or isn't exclusive.

I can't believe how some of you with decent rep say the man should ask for exclusivity. You don't deserve that rep. Let the woman come to you, period.

This court is adjourned.

absolutely.

and she is a good catch that I've already decided to be exclusive with, but
she'll have to ask about it before I admit!

You don't ask for permission, you state things how you see them, if she is interested in you enough and wants a relationship with you she'll agree.

Exactly
 

"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.

I'm usually on the "a man goes for what he wants" boat but not in any case related to women, the same moment she has balance and power over a man is the same moment where she lose part of her interest.

It's not a conscious thing, it seems they are just made like that.
When she sees she own you emotionally she lose interest as much as a man stop pedalising a woman he just possesed physically.

Real men go for what they want when there's a conflict with potential risks and something to be taken, when something has to be "given" you cannot go for it as if it had to be "taken".

Avoid discussions with women about these topics. Even your sisters.

Nothing good ever comes from it.
